New Hope for Conservation Student sub-forum, Beijing Forum & SCCS-Beijing

November 1-5, 2013 (A 3-day conference + 2-day training)
Peking University, Beijing, China

Beijing Forum is an annual international forum co-sponsored by Peking
University, Beijing Municipal Commission of Education, and Korea Foundation
for Advanced Studies since 2004.
The general theme of Beijing Forum is “The Harmony of Civilizations and
Prosperity for All”. Beijing Forum aims at promoting the study of humanities and
social sciences around the world. It endeavors to promote academic
development and social progress across the world in order to contribute to the
development and prosperity of humankind. SCCS-Beijing will be a sub-forum
focusing on students and young conservation professionals held annually.
SCCS-Beijing has a subtitle - New hope for conservation. As conservation issues
tend to be complex thus multiple disciplines would be required to offer
feasible solutions. We will encourage students and young researchers from
different disciplines to exchange and collaborate. We will also invite young
staff from universities, conservation institutes and environmental NGOs to join
the meeting to discuss innovative ideas. Through such an exchange and
collaboration, many new solutions will hopefully be created for conservation
and many young people will choose to dedicate in conservation.
