The EUPLANT Agora takes place in the context of the Jean Monnet Network ‘EU-China Legal and Judicial Cooperation’ (EUPLANT), in which Prof. Matthieu Burnay from Queen Mary University of London takes the lead. The network is sponsored by EU to investigate the interactions between the Chinese and the European Union (EU) legal and judicial systems and promotes excellence in teaching and research on EU-China legal and judicial cooperation. Through a set of research, policy and outreach activities, EUPLANT creates new avenues for enhanced academic and policy cooperation between the EU and China and engenders a better understanding of each other’s legal systems.
