Highlights

Grand Event for Doctoral Students


During the conference, doctoral students are the key participants. The conference has realized a new mode of “self-moderation, discussion, summary and commentary” which established a high-level academic atmosphere for doctoral students to communicate with each other.

Academic Exchange with Renowned Professors


The academic committee of the conference is composed of outstanding academic professionals in related fields. As a widely acknowledged conference by professors from home and abroad, the “Environmental Conference for Doctoral Students” has become the largest academic platform for environmental doctoral students to communicate and innovate.

Outdoor and Cultural Events


In order to expand academic vision and learn Beijing’s local culture, we gladly provide students with exchange activities like cold dinner, tours to Tsinghua’s Art Museum, Olympic Park, and visits to Eco-friendly companies, as a way to enhance academic friendship, expand visions and know more about the culture of Beijing.
