The school will invite Chinese experts and scholars and European and American researchers engaged in China study, to held special lectures and courses related to Chinese legal culture, trade environment, and social policy for faculties, researchers, students in Polish universities, and practitioners in related fields. By doing so, the school aims to build a bridge for them to understand China, especially to learn Chinese legal system.
