Asia-Europe Journal (AEJ) is very proud to present the inaugural edition of our new initiative—Asia-Europe Policy Forum (AEPF). It is a collection of policy briefs edited by our guest editor Professor Sven Biscop (Egmont Institute, Royal Institute for International Relations, Brussels, Belgium), and we hope you will find it stimulating, provocative and informative. The Asia-Europe Policy Forum is aimed at providing timely analysis of important policy implications of current affairs in Asia-Europe relations and interactions or recent scientific results with strong implications on both regions. We would like to invite articles that are concise policy briefs of no more than 2000 words. The main criteria for inclusion for the Forum are impact, timeliness and novelty of the articles and their significance in providing needed and fresh insight on a topic pertinent to policymakers, academic communities and the general public in Asia, Europe and beyond. The opinions and debates for the Forum should follow a logical flow and be convincingly supported by reliable statistical data, policy documents and appropriate references, and organised in the format of a collection of original and interlinking synthesises. In concordance with AEJ’s mission, AEPF topics are usually chosen by the Editorin-Chief/Forum Editor who then selects potential guest editors and/or contributors. AEJ also welcomes and occasionally calls for contribution for spontaneous propositions from academic and policy community on a timely topic. Such proposals should be discussed with the Editor in the first place. Each Forum will be organised by a guest editor (co-editors or in conjunction with the Forum Editor), who has the primary Asia Europe Journal https://doi.org/10.1007/s10308-020-00584-1

为共同的未来建立对话：亚欧政策论坛（AEPF）

亚欧期刊 (AEJ) 非常自豪地介绍我们新倡议的创始版本——亚欧政策论坛 (AEPF)。这是由我们的客座编辑 Sven Biscop 教授（埃格蒙特研究所，皇家国际关系学院，比利时布鲁塞尔）编辑的政策简报集，我们希望您会觉得它具有启发性、挑衅性和信息量。亚欧政策论坛旨在及时分析当前事务对亚欧关系和互动的重要政策影响或对两个地区具有重大影响的近期科学成果。我们希望邀请不超过 2000 字的简明政策简报的文章。入选论坛的主要标准是影响力、文章的及时性和新颖性，以及它们在为与亚洲、欧洲及其他地区的政策制定者、学术界和公众相关的主题提供所需和新见解方面的重要性。论坛的意见和辩论应遵循逻辑流程，并有可靠的统计数据、政策文件和适当的参考资料令人信服地支持，并以原始和相互关联的综合集的形式组织。根据 AEJ 的使命，AEPF 主题通常由主编/论坛编辑选择，然后由他们选择潜在的客座编辑和/或贡献者。AEJ 还欢迎并偶尔呼吁学术界和政策界就及时的主题提出自发的建议。此类建议应首先与编辑讨论。
