About the Training Course
The University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC) in partnership with the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) is hosting a training programme led by IGCC Director, Prof. Tai Ming Cheung, to shed light on the geo-strategic, national security, and economic dimensions of the rise of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a global innovation and industrial power and the implications for the world, in general, and India, in particular. The four-day training course will cover a wide assortment of topics ranging from China’s efforts to integrate its military and civilian economies through its military-civil fusion (MCF) strategy to Chinese innovation and industrialisation development efforts that include civilian, defence, and dual-use sectors. By unpacking these topics, the course helps participants gain a robust understanding of the goals of the PRC’s MCF system, the implications and risks to their country, and best practices on steps needed to protect their emerging technology enterprise.
