Potrzebujemy więcej instytucji i ekspertów jak Asia Research Centre - Ośrodek Badań Azji i Krzysztof Iwanek. Temat jest olbrzymi i coraz istotniejszy dla żywotnych interesów 🇵🇱 i 🇪🇺.

I'm happy to officially share that I advanced to a new position of Head of #Brussels Office MERICS.

It's been a great journey with wonderful colleagues, fascinating research & loads of #EU - #China . More to come.

I look forward to this new chapter🥂
