BROWN CHINA SUMMIT

Brown’s Student-Led Hub for All Things China

Brown China Summit (BCS) is Brown’s student-led hub for all things China. A dynamic network of students, scholars, and professionals, BCS leads cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, and cross-industry dialogues for innovative knowledge making. Through collaborative learning and intellectual engagement, BCS creates an inclusive space for everyone to take part in constructing the vital dialogue of China and Chineseness in the 21st century.

布朗中国峰会是在布朗大学举办的一年一度的中国会议,历时两天,通常在三月举行。自从我们的首次峰会在2014年举办以来,我们已经吸引了数千名布朗学生与一群多元化的演讲者——思想领袖、商界领袖、政策制定者等——进行对话,以突出中国乃至全球的趋势并讨论对全世界都至关重要的问题。
