Dear All, The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CICC) and the Bocconi Alumni Association Beijing are glad to invite you to the seminar "Healthcare and Management: The Italian Solution" - How to Guarantee a Sustainable, Inclusive, High Quality Healthcare System, held by Prof. Giovanni Fattore - Full Professor and Chiarman of the Department of Policy Analysis and Public Management at Bocconi University.  The event will take place on Wednesday, January 20th at the Italian Institute of Culture, Beijing - Address: 2, San Li Tun Dong Er Jie , Beijing -  - 三里屯东二街2 号. Note: Chinese nationality attendees shall bring their passports or print the invitation to the event.     Abstract The Italian National Health Service (NHS) was ranked the second best in the world by the WHO in 2000 and still health improvement, equity and efficiency indicators show Italy as a top performer in healthcare. Contrary to other areas of the Italian public sector, the Italian NHS has been significantly reformed in the last 40 years and thus presents a modern system to provide universal and comprehensive coverage at affordable cost. However, demographic and epidemiologic trends challenge present arrangements. In particular, the increased share of the population with multi-morbidity, chronic conditions and limitations in their daily life activities require major changes to focus on new organizational and patients' management arrangements. Continuity and coordination of care require new healthcare institutions (e.g., nursing homes, community hospitals), ways of delivering care (e.g., home care), new professional roles (e.g., case managers) and adequate information systems that facilitate the circulation and use of information across providers. The decentralized Italian healthcare system present a number of showcases that may be valuable for other countries facing similar demographic and epidemiologic challenges.   About the Speaker Prof. Giovanni Fattore Full Professor and Chiarman of the Department of Policy Analysis and Public Management.

Save the date! The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CICC) is glad to invite you to the seminar "Cross-border Ecommerce, Customs Aspects" held by Marco Mamone, Customs Attaché of the Embassy of Italy in Beijing. The event will take place at the Italian Institute of Culture (Address: San Li Tun, Dong Er Jie 2 - 三里屯东二街2 号) on Wednesday, January 20th, from 1.30 to 3.30 p.m..   Introduction: The growth of Ecommerce on Chinese market determined new opportunities for business as well as new challenges for the Chinese customs authorities in managing the increased flow of goods that Chinese purchase abroad.  Customs administration is one of the main stakeholders in the process for the importation of goods. Particularly for Ecommerce, the customs clearance of goods is one of the main factors affecting the timing of their delivery to the final consumers. Accordingly, last year the Chinese authorities issued some regulations, which along the already existing law provisions, set the framework for the trade of foreign goods purchased by Chinese on web sites. The review of the measures adopted will highlight the approach by customs to the issues and will provide some useful information for the relevant business in China. The seminar will be also an opportunity to bring to the attention of the Italian Embassy the major difficulties encountered by Italian economic operators with China Customs Administration.   Objective: The seminar will highlight the main legal provisions and procedures applicable to cross border Ecommerce, with particular reference to the sales B2C and the major initiatives by the Chinese authorities in order to facilitate and speed up the procedures for the clearance of goods.   Outcome: After attending this seminar you will have a more solid understanding about limitations and opportunities linked to customs legislation and procedures. About the Speaker: In 2013, the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli appointed Marco Mamone as Customs Attaché at the Embassy of Italy in Beijing with the aim of facilitating relations between Italian and Chinese customs administrations. The work carried out within the Commercial Office of the Embassy includes the monitoring of major legislative changes in the field of customs.
