I led a team of about 10 editors alongside the Editor-in-Chief, coordinating the weekly publication of blog posts and articles for the yearly edition of the European Youth Perspectives on International Relations of China (EYPIC) journal submitted by students and young professionals based all over Europe and China. The areas covered by the pieces include international relations, economy and business, technology and media, history, and language and culture.

I edited and proofread research and policy articles on EU-China relations drafted by students and young professionals based all over Europe and China.

This includes reviewing all articles edited by the team, managing the editing sheet, coordinating communication between editors and internal and external writers, and overseeing recruitment for vacancies.
