The China in Europe Research Network has set out to facilitate the exchange among researchers, journalists, and policymakers. In this initiative, we identify significant events and provide the latter two groups with relevant insights from researchers from our network. We keep the briefings short and practical and leave it open to you whether you want to pursue a certain topic further on a one-on-one basis.
September 13, 11:00-11:45 CET
The event is aimed at journalists and policymakers
In the second we focus on Risks and Opportunities in Academic and Research Collaboration. The start of the academic year all over Europe provides an opportunity to give a brief data-driven insight into this hot topic.
