BROWN CHINA SUMMIT

Brown’s Student-Led Hub for All Things China

Brown China Summit (BCS) is a student-led, non-partisan platform at Brown University dedicated to fostering thoughtful, cross-disciplinary dialogue about China and its global role. Founded in 2013 as an academic forum, BCS has grown into a year-round hub for engagement, hosting its flagship conference in the spring alongside panels, conversations, salons, and film screenings. By convening students, scholars, and industry leaders, BCS creates space for nuanced perspectives and meaningful exchange on China in the 21st century.

布朗中国峰会（Brown China Summit）是布朗大学一个由学生发起和运营的交流平台，不隶属于任何党派，致力于围绕中国及其在全球中的角色展开有深度、有视角的讨论。布朗中国风会成立于2013年，最初是一个学术论坛，如今已逐渐发展为全年持续开展活动的校园平台。除了每年春季的旗舰峰会外，还会举办各类主题论坛、对谈、沙龙和放映活动。通过连接学生、学者与各行业的从业者，风会希望为不同背景与观点的人提供一个交流空间，在更开放、多元的语境中探讨21世纪的中国。
