The China Scholarship and Policy Advice: Reaching (out to) Decision Makers on China Training School, organized by CHERN and Institute of East Asian Politics at Ruhr-University Bochum, will kick off on Thursday April 20th with its first online session.
The nexus between China Scholarship and Policy Advice: lessons from the Netherlands and other EU member states
This session explores the practice of building connections between scholars and policy makers, and between scholarly research and policy briefs. It will address issues such as: how to provide policy advice that makes an impact? How to make cross-sectoral networks and connections sustainable? Examples of fruitful national and European knowledge networks and Track 1.5 dialogues will be discussed, but the session will also delve into the challenges perceived by both academics and policy makers in bridging the gap between the two groups.
Thursday, April 20
