Ms Dominique Kaesmacher, Dr Marco T. Connor, and Mr Lin Yasong were invited by the Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies (BICCS) of the VUB to give a series of lectures on intellectual property in China within the frame of a post graduate course in Economics. Representatives of Belgian Companies, invited by the Belgian and Chinese Chamber of Commerce, were also present among the public. Kirkpatrick is always proud to actively participate at such initiatives building a bridge between universities and companies in Belgium.
