The BRICS Summer Program by the Center for BRICS Studies of Fudan University aims to build a platform of friendship and consensus for young students from BRICS countries. This program provides the young generation of BRICS countries with a chance to have a better understanding of China’s social-cultural, political and economic development, BRICS cooperation and changes in global governance, promoting mutual communication and consolidating the popular foundation for BRICS cooperation.

As the outbreak and continuous influence of the COVID-19, according to the current global epidemic situation, it is still impossible to hold major international forums or other gathering activities. To ensure that students could participate in activities in a safe and healthy environment, the 2020 BRICS Summer Program has been changed from a summer school to a BRICS Summer Workshop.

The BRICS Summer Workshop will be held online from July 15 to July 30, 2020, for two weeks. Students and young scholars who are interested in BRICS research are welcome to sign up!
