Generating independent knowledge for a resilient future with China for Europe and its citizens

The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), whose preparation is led by our EC2U partner University the University of Turku, Finland, play a central role in ReConnect China’s dissemination approach. The courses are open to everyone who wants to understand China’s development and EU-China relations. In particular, they are prepared for European students.

In a cross-cutting fashion, the MOOCs will refurbish the scientific and analytical outputs of the ReConnect project and prepare them as educational content suitable for integration into MOOC curricula.

The following ReConnect MOOCs are offered:

  • 13 January - 11 May 2025: Introduction to Chinese Politics and Society 
  • 10 February - 15 June 2025: Introduction to EU-China relations

Registration for the MOOCs on the DigiCampus learning platform:
The course will be run in the DigiCampus learning platform. Students can sign up on this pageExternal link by clicking on the course name and using Google identification.

More details:

The courses consist of five to six thematic modules which are built upon short recorded expert lectures (ca 20 minutes), slideshows, reading materials and podcasts. Various automated assignments and exams complement the flexible learning process.

You can take the courses independently in the DigiCampus-learning environment without teacher’s supervision and complete the coursework in your own schedule.
