This year, due to the challenges brought by the COVID-19, the School of Economics at Peking University broadened students’ horizons via “cloud classroom” during the past summer holiday. From July to September, PKU-UChicago International Policy Action Lab, SEPKU-Oriel College Summer Institute 2020 Online Programme, SEPKU-UZH International Summer School, and several other courses were held online.
Based on leading teaching resources and research strength of Peking University and other universities in the world, the online international courses offered a platform for students from around the globe to exchange views in diversified cultural backgrounds, which is significant to the education of students with international outlook and the development of a global interdisciplinary learning community.
