WHO WE ARE
Bocconi Chinese Student Association was founded in 2010 with the aim of providing knowledge and opportunities to those who are willing to discover the Chinese world.
We are a Non-Profit-Organization and an officially recognized student association of Bocconi University.
We are the first and one of the most relevant Chinese Student Associations in Italy, serving thousands of international students and professionals on their approach towards China.
OUR MISSION
Our core mission is to lodge an open gate to the Chinese world, connecting people with a common interest towards China.
We intend to create a universally accessible platform for students, academics and entrepreneurs interested in China to give them a possibility to exchange ideas, target opportunities and develop a future career related to China all together.
We do believe that people are the most valuable assets and people’s experience is the most precious resource.
Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.
