In preparation for the Asia–Europe Meeting (ASEM) Summit in Ulaanbaatar, Dr Katharina Hoene ran a diplomatic training course in co-operation with the Asia–Europe Foundation (ASEF). She trained a group of Asian and European students in the basics of diplomacy and multilateral diplomacy. At the ASEM Summit, the ASEF Secretariat, Diplo, and the University of Turku launched the ASEF Outlook Report 2016/2017 – CONNECTIVITY: Facts and Perspectives. The publication features a study by Dr Jovan Kurbalija, ‘From Harmonising Cyberpolicies to Promoting Twiplomacy: How Diplomacy Can Strengthen Asia-Europe’s Digital Connectivity‘.Â
