CHERN (China in Europe Research Network)

CHERN – the China in Europe Research Network – is a platform for knowledge exchange about China’s increasing presence in Europe among academic and non-academic communities. The network aims to (a) pool current and stimulate further research on China’s deepening economic engagements with Europe; (b) develop an interdisciplinary, holistic, cross-sectoral and pan-European understanding of the variegated impacts and strategies associated with these engagements; (c) comprehend the likely political and geo-political consequences of these; and (d) generate input on the policy implications of these issues involving relevant agencies from the EU, member countries, business, trade unions and other interested parties. Administered from the VU, it now consists of around 250 researchers from more than 40 countries.
