Visiting Program for Young Sinologists is run by the Culture Ministry of China and Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Since 2014, the annual event has aimed to strengthen cultural exchanges and set up a platform where young Sinologists worldwide can communicate and learn more about Chinese culture and history. Three sessions were held in 2014 and 2015, garnering positive reviews among scholars and experts across the world. The fourth Visiting Program for Young Sinologists kicked off in Beijing on June 6, where 31 Sinologists from 26 countries attended the study project, with a wide range of research subjects, including Chinese literature, history, philosophy, art, linguistics, politics and society, and international relations.
