Eurasian Continent Research Association

About the Eurasian Continent Research Association

The Eurasian Continent Research Association (ECRA) is a research-oriented institution established as an affiliated entity of the “China–Eurasia” Council for Political and Strategic Research Foundation, based on a proposal put forward during the 6th Eurasian Research on Modern China and Eurasia Conference. The Eurasian Continent Research Association unites scholars dedicated to interdisciplinary studies of Eurasian geopolitics, geoeconomics, transportation infrastructure, cyberspace, and high technologies. In cooperation with the “China-Eurasia” Council for Political and Strategic Research, the Association supports the organisation and implementation of the Eurasian Research on Modern China and Eurasia Conference, which has already been held six times. The Association welcomes emerging and established scholars from all countries—East to West and South to North—who conduct research on the Eurasian continent.
