A Mathias Corvinus Collegium és Budapest ad otthont november 15. napján az egyedülálló „Walking the New Silk Road” című nemzetközi konferenciának. A 6500 km hosszú legendás „Selyemút” egykoron a Római Birodalmat kötötte össze Kínával. Kulcsfontosságú kereskedelmi útvonalat kínálva biztosította két civilizáció közötti kereskedelem és gazdasági fejlődés lehetőségét. Az „Új Selyemút” kezdeményezés ezt a legendás útvonalat, valamint az általa kínált üzleti lehetőségeket törekszik újjáépíteni az európai országok és Kína között. Az MCC, az Európai Kínai Választottbírók Szövetségének (ECAA) és a Magyar Választottbírói Szövetségének (HAA) társszervezésében megvalósuló egész napos nemzetközi konferencián a tudományos világ legnagyobb nevei, az ügyvédi és választottbírói szakma nagy tapasztalattal rendelkező és nemzetközileg elismert tagjai, illetve az üzleti világ képviselői osztják meg gondolataikat az Európai Unió és Kína gazdasági, kereskedelmi és beruházásvédelmi kapcsolatrendszerének, valamint a vitarendezés lehetőségeiről és kihívásairól. Valamennyi érdeklődőt szeretettel várunk az egyedülálló nemzetközi konferenciára!
