The China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) is a global business school jointly founded by the Chinese government and the EU in 1994. It represents a major success in China’s opening up and cooperation with the EU in the field of education. With our 30th anniversary around the corner, CEIBS has decided to return to Brussels to hold our 9th Europe Forum and invite guests from the EU and China’s political, business, and academic sectors to analyse the journey of the China-EU Comprehensive Strategic Partnership over the past 20 years, envision the prospects for extensive cooperation between the two sides over the coming 20 years, and explore a path towards a stable and far-reaching China-EU relationship amid changing times.
