The Center will serve as a platform for cooperation between Sapienza and BFSU, providing advices and support not only to students from Sapienza and the Confucius Institute at Sapienza during their studies in China, but also to Chinese students who wish to learn Italian language and culture or pursue further studies in Italy. The Center will also play an important role in connecting people from both countries and promoting cultural exchanges.
