Course series: “How to do business in…?”
CSCD arranges two-day courses in collaboration with embassies representing the city/country/region in focus. The courses are conducted in collaboration with leading experts from our global university network.
The course series follows a format with tailored content to each individual business area – a city (for instance Shanghai), a country (China), or a region (East Asia). We customize the contents of each course to meet the needs of public diplomacy practitioners, those interested in identifying new business opportunities or research collaborations, and those seeking to develop their advisory tool kit.
CSCD conducts its courses in close collaboration with leading universities around the globe in close collaboration with 70 embassies and several international organizations in Denmark.
