To make CESL a successful and excellent law school is a great challenge to the faculty and all of the partners of the consortium.

In keeping with UAM'S tradition as a Spanish pioneer in launching common initiatives with C= hina, the CESL will represent another step in strengthening relations between t= he two countries. It will be a forum for dialogue, provide focus for the exchange of ideas and give a platform for debate between the academic, professional and legal worlds. Its performance and outputs will be defini= tely in line with the mission of a faculty, which emphasi= ses openness and commitment to the modern and global society it serves.<= /o:p>

After having participated in different Programs with China initiated by the Commission of European Communities and having signed some bilateral agreements with Chinese Universities, Robert Schuman University (Strasbou= rg) was enthusiastic to participate in the CESL project that cannot be compar= ed to others because it creates in China a Law School on a permanent basis (devoted not only to Master Courses, but also to Professional Training and Research, all these activities being open both to Chinese nationals and E= uropeans).

Robert Schuman University is convinced that, as the Consortium involved in the <= span class=3DSpellE>Programme consists of partners from all over Europe= with different backgrounds associated to Chinese partners, the implementation = of the CESL Programme will contribute to the strengthening of the Chinese legal system, to the development of economic relations between China and all Europe and will improve the knowledge and understanding of the Chinese legal culture in Europe at the same time as = of the European legal culture in China.

Sciences Po understood that both Legal studies and European Union – China relations represent major stakes for the incoming training of leaders of tomorrow. As a multidisciplinary University in Legal, Political and Social Sciences, Sciences Po in Par= is is very proud of being part of this consortium. Through its curriculum, <= span class=3DGramE>its Asian Centre (research and education) and its professional network, Sciences Po is ready to participate to make CESL a worldwide recognised education institution.

CESL gives an opportunity to add and integrate a Chine= se perspective into the European thinking. The law school will provide good opportunities for exchange of both students and faculty members. CESL is welcomed as an additional part in our international cooperation.

We expect that CESL will – with the support of faculty from Europe – be able to bring the European legal tradition= and positive law closer to Chin= ese lawyers, enabling them to better understand the complexity of the European legal systems and preparing them thus to become more competent negotiator= s in international business transactions. Besides, the CESL shall – by spreading European law – also influence the Chinese legislators in adopting legal rules close to European law.

Comparative method may help in finding the common core= s in thinking, culture and social developments. We expect this way to be able contribute to building a bridge connecting East and West.

The Faculty of Law of Maastricht University (The Netherlands) is very happy to participate in the CESL project because we = feel that we have a lot to contribute. The Maastricht Law Faculty is unique in offering a fully English taught 3 year bachelor' European Law School' focussing on European and compar= ative law; also in our master programmes (European Law School, Magister Iuris Communis: european, international and comparative law) the fo= cus is precisely on the areas of law and the legal approaches, which are essenti= al in the CESL project. And our experiences in teaching European and compara= tive law, going hand in hand with a strong research focus on the same issues (Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law, Research School Ius Commune), will be beneficial to the CESL projec= t and the collaboration between Chinese and European law. And therefore also to European law and European law faculties and professors.<= /o:p>

Over one hundred years ago, Stanisław Wyspiański, a renowned Polish artist and poet = wrote with conviction that the success of the Polish nation and of entire Europe will depend on Chi= na. This conviction was shared by the subsequent generations of Poles. We are convinced that CESL will become an important forum for an exchange of tho= ught and experience not only as regards legal systems, but also that it will create an excellent opportunity for people to become better acquainted wi= th the culture and traditions of both China and Europe; we are also convinced that it will facilitate personal contacts between academics, legal expert= s, students, scientists and businessmen. This in turn should create favourable conditions for mutual benefits and auspiciousness in the current century. We are very happy that we can have= our share in this initiative. P.S. Stanislaw Wyspiań= ;ski (1869-1907) was born and lived in Krakow.
