The fifth Taihe Civilizations Forum (TCF) will be held from September 5^th to 11^th, 2021. This forum will continue the theme of “Science Culture · Future Ethics · Common Values”, where we will gather for an in-depth discussion on these critical topics.

Since its foundation in 2017, the forum has become an influential international exchange platform bringing together approximately 800 leading experts from, among many others, governmental and academic sectors from China and abroad. The forum provides a constructive environment for extensive, in-depth, and forward-looking discussions on a number of important issues, such as the continuing development of a harmonious and sustainable human society.

As the global COVID-19 pandemic is not under complete control, the forum will be held online in order to facilitate a convenient and safe attendance of all participants. The 2021 TCF will comprise four sessions: International Relations, Advanced Technology, Education and Culture, and Youth Dialogue. The forum will be held in a flexible and interactive way to encourage and facilitate communication and ensure a richer output.
