A message to appreciate participation in their two events on November 11 & 19 has arrived from the Institute of East Asian Studies IN-EAST.

Dear friends and colleagues,

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your interest in our EU-Japan EPA Conference. The „EU-Japan EPA Research Workshop“ on November 10 brought together more than 60 scientists, and the „EU-Japan EPA Symposium” on November 19 connected well above 100 participants, mostly from Japan and Europe.

Of course, the IN-EAST would have loved to welcome you in person, but the pandemic, unfortunately, made this impossible. Thus, we opted to intensify the documentation of our events to make up for the intensive discussions at in-person meetings.

We updated our conference website at https://eu-jp.info with new content:

–        Links to the video recordings from both events

–        Graphic recordings from both events

–        Presentations, statements and comments from our contributors

–        Resources on the EPA from the EU, Japan and other actors

We hope this will create a sustainable impulse for the discourse on the EU-Japan partnership and are looking forward to continuing the discussion on the further development of the EU-Japan cooperation in post-corona times.

For the time being, we hope you enjoyed the EU-Japan EPA Conference and keep looking forward to your feedback.

Wishing you happy holidays and all the best for 2021,

Institute of East Asian Studies IN-EAST
