On behalf of the book's editors, we sincerely invite experts from your units to participate in this high-level book writing project and jointly establish a prestigious platform for exchange. We are sure that your contribution would be of a great support to the success of the idea of the book, of the idea of “resilient innovation & innovation for enhanced resilience”, and the Belt and Road Initiative.
