The VII Eurasian Research on Modern China and Eurasia conference offers a platform to stand as a member of the Eurasian Continent Research Association, establish an academic network, exchange research ideas, submit chapters and books for consideration for publishing at the Routledge Research in Eurasian Book Series, compare perspectives and methodologies, and promote interdisciplinary dialogue. This year, the VII Eurasian Research Conference will primarily focus on Eurasian (Continental) geopolitical, geoeconomic, high-technology and AI development, and security issues in the Multipolar World Order 2.0 era.With a legacy of six successful editions held in Yerevan (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025), our Conference has united international scholars, diplomats, and thinkers, propelling us to delve deeper into the dynamics that define our ever-evolving world.

As a result of the previous conferences (2018-2019), we united team and in 2020, we prepared China and Eurasia: Rethinking Cooperation and Contradictions in the Era of Changing World Order book (Ed. Mher Sahakyan and Heinz Gärtner), which Routledge published in September 2021. It is indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus.

After the 2021 conference, we united a new team. On March 31, 2023, Routledge published the book China and Eurasian Powers in a Multipolar World Order 2.0: Security, Diplomacy, Economy and Cyberspace (Ed. Mher Sahakyan). It is indexed in the Web of Science.
