China-EU relations are at a crossroads, stimulating uncertainty and anxiety among policymakers and business professionals. Despite recent developments and challenges, the EU still proposes open dialogue and engagement emphasizing the defense of core European interests and values. Meanwhile, China is eyeing a comprehensive strategic partnership with the EU. As two of the most important global players, the future of China-EU relations depends on reaching consensus and cooperation in many key issues, including trade, climate change and SDGs, intellectual property protection, as well as the BRI in Central Asia and Eastern Europe.

In this context, this webinar is inviting scholars and professionals familiar with China-EU relations to discuss the future of China-EU relations and how they can respond to common challenges ahead.
