As a cultural region with a tremendously long tradition, China has always been a subject of western fantasies, hopes and projections. However: “The imagination and the real reality about China: I think many people are interested in China, but most of the talk about China is from their imagination.“ (Pritzker Award-winner Wang Shu, 2012). ChinaCultureDesk was founded by Alice Schmatzberger and Ingr
id Fischer-Schreiber to contribute to a greater diversity of images of China in encounters with modern China. And we want to build bridges in intercultural communication – therefore we are conducting business in Austria as well as in China to foster mutual understanding and cooperation. Through conveying tailored information, through project support and consulting, ChinaCultureDesk offers a broad platform for individual information, communication and networking between Austria and China. And we also support institutions and businesses in both countries in more successfully arranging intercultural cooperation in the scientific, academic or cultural field.
