The Italy-China Competence & Sentiment Observatory (ICCSO) is a research observatory established by the TOChina Centre of the University of Torino in partnership with the University of Insubria. The aim of the Observatory is to conduct data-driven research on the perceptions that interested and strategic publics across Italy and China have of the respective countries. This lecture, held by the European Institute for Chinese Studies (EURICS), will discuss findings from two research projects currently pursued by the ICCSO: an analysis of the shifting attitudes on China in the current Italian Parliament (2018-2022), and preliminary results from a survey of Italian university students and their perception of China, exactly three years after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in the Belt and Road Initiative between Rome and Beijing.
Speaker: Dr. Giovanni ANDORNINO (T.wai, University of Turin and EURICS fellow)
Discussant: Prof. ZHANG Jian (Peking University)
This EURICS Public lecture can be freely attended online upon registration here.
