<p class="MsoNormal">Abigael Vasselier is uniquely positioned to discuss how research can be made policy-relevant for the EU – and how to get it in front of EU policymakers. She currently serves as Strategic Coordinator for the Asia-Pacific at the European
External Action Service (EEAS). Her career has moved fluidly between think tank research and policymaking: she previously headed the Policy and European Affairs programme at Merics, served as Deputy Head of Unit at the EEAS's China Division, and was a researcher
at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to seeing you there!<o:p></o:p></p>
