Durham Law School was pleased to welcome a delegation from Renmin University of China Law School on 6 October 2026

The discussions identified exciting opportunities for educational and research collaboration across a range of areas, including environmental law, law and technology, legal history and comparative law, alongside many other fields of shared academic interest. The meeting highlighted the considerable potential for scholars from both institutions to develop joint research activities, exchange expertise and foster new interdisciplinary connections.

Looking ahead, the two Law Schools also explored opportunities for deeper collaboration in joint educational programmes. These prospective initiatives could create further opportunities for students and academics from both institutions to engage, exchange knowledge and benefit from their respective academic strengths.

We look forward to building on this productive dialogue and developing a strong and lasting partnership between Durham Law School and Renmin Law School.
