To mark the occasion, the German-Chinese Institute for Legal Studies—a joint project of Georg-August University of Göttingen and Nanjing University—is hosting a conference in Nanjing from December 14 to 16, 2018, featuring Chinese and German experts. Prof. Rösler will speak on public policy and overriding mandatory provisions before continuing on to deliver two lectures at Tongji University in Shanghai (see the report on the IMKR website).
