This conference is a global academic platform aimed at building new knowledge bridges between China and the world, in a world witnessing increasing interconnectedness between cultures and the growing importance of international understanding. The conference is held under the theme "Gathering Global Talents, Collaborating for Mutual Benefit," with the participation of an elite group of academics, experts, and decision-makers from various countries.
This year's conference focuses on the theme of "Innovation and Development of Discourse Capacity in Sinology and Global China Studies," a theme that reflects the intellectual transformations taking place in the field of Chinese studies in the contemporary world. The theme is not limited to studying China from abroad, but also addresses how to develop an integrated scholarly discourse that enhances understanding of China within its historical, cultural, and linguistic context, while keeping pace with the demands of the digital age and academic globalization.
The conference aims to create new paths for cross-cultural dialogue and expand the circle of interaction between researchers interested in China from various disciplines, ranging from linguistics and literature to social and political sciences, economics, and technology. The conference also seeks to redefine the concept of discourse capacity as a vital tool in shaping academic and cultural discourse about China and in constructing a balanced scholarly narrative that contributes to global cultural communication.
The conference is supported and sponsored by the Beijing Language and Culture University and the World Sinology Center, two of the most prominent academic institutions dedicated to promoting cultural and research exchange between China and the world. Hundreds of academics and researchers from across the continents are expected to participate in the conference, making it a truly global event and a fertile environment for exchanging experiences and future visions in the fields of education, research, and international cooperation.
The conference will also feature a number of panel discussions and workshops addressing global Chinese language teaching experiences, strategies for developing Chinese studies in international universities, and the role of artificial intelligence in promoting translation and cultural interaction. These themes are a natural extension of China's vision of supporting "mutual understanding" and "academic openness" initiatives as fundamental pillars for building a more harmonious and cooperative global society.
CIEP 2025 represents more than just an academic conference; it is a strategic platform for the exchange of thought, innovation, and cooperation between creative minds from the East and the West. Through it, China seeks to showcase its modern scientific and cultural image and provide an opportunity for researchers to develop a shared scholarly discourse that links Chinese national identity with global human affiliation.
The 2025 International Professional Exchange Conference affirms that the power of scholarly and cultural discourse is the foundation of understanding between nations, and that creativity in Chinese studies is essential for building a more balanced and inclusive academic future. In a rapidly changing world, such scholarly gatherings remain a cornerstone for building bridges of human communication based on knowledge and mutual respect.
