Our research focuses on economic and trade relations, global governance, ocean management as well as other issues central to the China-EU relationship. We welcome scholars from diverse backgrounds to support our work, particularly with professional experience in China-Europe relations and expertise in international relations, business and trade, international law and maritime affairs.
