18 Nov 2026 | C-NET RNR Networking Event “Kooperationen auf dem Prüfstand – Neue Perspektiven der deutsch-chinesischen Zusammenarbeit”

As the year draws to a close, the C-NET RNR team would like to look toward the future together with you: “Kooperationen auf dem Prüfstand – Neue Perspektiven der deutsch-chinesischen Zusammenarbeit” (Partnerships Under Scrutiny – New Perspectives on German-Chinese Cooperation) is the theme of our networking event on 18 November, to which we cordially invite you to Duisburg from 10:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.

Although the recent trade conflict between the EU and the People’s Republic of China has been temporarily resolved, uncertainties and tensions at the political level persist. Together with our guests and network members, we want to discuss what the current developments mean for EU-China relations and Germany’s role in the long term: How will relations between the key players continue to develop? What does this mean for our cooperation with China? What opportunities exist for academic and economic collaboration in this situation? To what extent can they help keep doors open even in times of conflict?

Before we begin this discussion with keynote presentations and experience reports, we would like to update you on the future of C-NET RNR. During the lunch reception that follows, there will be an opportunity for personal exchanges regarding ongoing projects, cooperation initiatives, and changes in the framework conditions for collaboration in and with China.

You can find the event programme, including directions to the LN building (NETZ, Carl-Benz-Straße 199, 47057 Duisburg), here.

For organizational reasons, we kindly ask that you send us an informal confirmation of your attendance by November 15, 2026, via email with the subject line “Netzwerkveranstaltung 18.11.2026” to info@cnetrnr.de.

We look forward to seeing you there!
