Jean Monnet Network Project SPEAC Fourth Workshop > Notice

• 목록

The European-Asian Research Network on Strategies for Promoting Europe-Asia Connectivity (SPEAC) is supported by the European Union and furthers the development of an Europe-Asia research network on strategies for promoting connectivity between Europe and Asia. SPEAC contributes to establishing and developing a comprehensive research network that assesses three major areas of connectivity between Europe and Asia, i.e. economy and trade, politics and security as well as people-to-people and rule of law. All research activities contribute to exploring the contextualization, challenges and opportunities of EU-Asia connectivity and to the development of respective policy recommendations.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together international academics and experts from different disciplines to take stock of and assess the state of play of EU-Asia connectivity and its current trajectory. The goal is to create a platform for new interdisciplinary and innovative research that contributes to the academic and practical understanding of contemporary EU-Asia affairs in rapidly changing global and regional contexts.

This event is the Fourth Workshop to be held online due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Each participant is going to present his/her part for "Building Connectivity: Strategies for EU-Asia Relations".
