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.

Brown China Summit is generously supported by the China Initiative at the Watson School for International and Public Affairs.
