ReConnect China: Beyond the Conference Room: Lessons from the Europe–China Knowledge Forum

Beyond the Conference Room: Lessons from the Europe–China Knowledge Forum

What does it take to bring together diverse European and Chinese perspectives on the issues shaping their relationship?

Gábor Szüdi speaks with Elo Süld, Head of Department at the University of Tartu, and Xiaoxue Martin, Research Fellow at the Clingendael China Centre, about the lessons learnt from organising the annual Europe–China Knowledge Forum (ECKF) conferences.

They discuss the ideas behind the conference series, the challenges of designing engaging events, and the innovative methods used to explore timely topics. They also reflect on how the forums bring together academics, policymakers, business representatives and civil society actors from across Europe, including voices from underrepresented countries such as the Baltic states.
