中国科协2026年“开放合作月”拉开帷幕

中国科协2026年“开放合作月”于2026年10月全面拉开帷幕，总主题为“科技为舟载天下，人文作楫济未来”，年度主题为“创新策源，塑造生态”，将联动在华国际科技组织、地方政府、全国学会及地方科协共同开展。

三大板块，近70项活动覆盖国内外多区域

2026年“开放合作月”设综合性国际科技会议、专业性高水平学术会议、示范性科技人文交流机制3个板块，含约70项活动，落地在京津冀、长三角、粤港澳3个国际科技创新中心和成渝地区、武汉、西安区域科技创新中心等11个国内省（自治区、直辖市）以及哈萨克斯坦等海外国家，组织中外科技工作者共谋发展。

“综合性国际科技会议”板块集中举办学科覆盖面广、国际影响力大、规模层次高的旗舰活动性质的综合性国际科技会议，包括国际科学理事会中期会员大会暨北京科学对话、世界科技与发展论坛和世界顶尖科学家论坛。三场会议分别聚焦“复杂世界中的科学：科学共创美好未来”“协同演化：塑造未来产业的新生态”“范式变革：科学突破的下一个十年”等议题开展对话、凝聚共识，拟发布国际科学理事会中期会员大会暨北京科学对话《北京科学宣言》、“2026科技前瞻”、2026世界顶尖科学家论坛宣言等成果，发挥民间科技外交主场优势，展现我国向全球科技开拓者、引领者加速迈进的主动作为。

“专业性高水平学术会议”板块在新能源、材料科学、空间科学、化学、地学、生命科学、人工智能、脑科学、集成电路、量子科技等领域，遴选举办30余场高水平国际科技学术会议，聚焦学科前沿发展方向和关键产业问题，汇聚国内外知名专家、青年新锐，持续开展高水平、系列化专业研讨，产出一批高质量研究报告、学术论文，展示一批本领域最新技术、产品，发布一批技术标准、规则倡议，汇聚一批投身国际科技合作事业的杰出科学家、青年学者，催生国际科技界智慧碰撞、策源创新的引力场。

“示范性科技人文交流机制”板块连续举办中国—中亚、中国—东盟、中美等重点区域双边机制性民间科技人文交流活动30余场，突出办好世界青年科学家峰会。充分发挥民间科技人文交流主渠道作用，聚焦中外青年学者、工程师等群体之间的民心相通、理念认同、情感相融，搭建科技与文化深度交融的交流对话平台，引导他们互学互鉴、联合研究，以团结精神适应深刻调整的国际格局，以共赢思维增进国际科技界开放信任合作，携手弘扬全人类共同价值，营造开放、公平、公正、非歧视的国际科技发展环境。

聚焦三大主线，凝聚国际科技界共识与信任

“开放合作月”以引领全球治理、示踪科技前沿、广聚天下英才为主线，动员国际科技界向三大方向聚焦。

综合性国际科技会议板块，聚焦“共识凝聚”。当前，气候变化、科技伦理、未来产业等重大议题，往往跨越多个学科、多个领域、多个国家，单一学科会议难以形成整体解决方案；国际科技界在技术路线、治理规则、伦理标准等方面也各有主张。该板块学科覆盖面广、国际影响力大，旨在发挥跨学科、跨领域、跨国界优势，把不同国家、不同专业的科学家、工程师以及国际科技组织代表聚到一起，围绕共同挑战展开高端对话，在方向性、原则性、治理性问题上凝聚最大公约数。这种共识不是替代专业研讨，而是为后续专业合作确立坐标系、筑牢信任基础。只有先在重大方向、基本规则、伦理底线上形成广泛共识，细分领域的合作才能有章可循、有序推进、走深走实。

专业性高水平学术会议板块，聚焦“创新引领”。真正的技术突破、标准讨论、产业难题，往往发生在细分学科里。该版块精心遴选具备冲击世界一流学术会议潜力的会议活动，旨在推进中外专家学者围绕人工智能、量子科技、脑科学、新能源、新材料等具体领域的科学问题和关键技术，做深层次研讨交流。各会议邀请取得年度前沿进展的中外科学家作专题报告、发布本领域最新产品或技术；鼓励青年学者参与，设置青年论文海报交流环节，推动会议论文与高水平期刊深度绑定。以“创新策源”致力全球科技引领，以“塑造生态”培育世界一流学术会议。

示范性科技人文交流机制，聚焦“信任合作”。科技合作要行稳致远，既靠项目和协议，更靠人与人之间的理解与信任。该板块以机制化交流为纽带，旨在持续深化中国-东盟、中国-中亚、中英、中美以及世界青年科学家峰会等品牌活动，为各国科学家、工程师特别是青年、妇女科技工作者搭建常来常往、互学互鉴的平台。通过平等对话、联合研讨、实地参访等形式，促进不同文明在科技领域相互理解与尊重，推动科技知识跨文明传播与融合，让短期交流沉淀为长期合作，让项目协作延伸到人心相通，为构建开放包容的国际科技合作环境夯实信任基础。

CAST's Intl Month 2026 to kick off in October

Intro: The China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) will launch its International Month 2026: Openness, Cooperation, Trust in October, featuring about 70 activities across three sections.

The China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) will launch its International Month 2026: Openness, Cooperation, Trust in October, featuring about 70 activities under the overarching theme "STI Bridges, Humanity Orients" and the annual theme "Originating Innovation, Nurturing Excellence."

Led by CAST and jointly organized with local governments, international sci-tech organizations in China, national academic societies and local associations for science and technology, the activities will be grouped into three sections: multidisciplinary international conferences, high-level academic conferences in specialized fields and people-to-people exchanges.

Events will take place in China's three international sci-tech innovation centers of Beijing (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei), Shanghai (Yangtze River Delta) and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as well as in regional innovation centers of Sichuan province and Chongqing municipality, Wuhan in Hubei province and Xi'an in Shaanxi province. Some events will be held abroad in countries including Kazakhstan.

Three sections to advance intl sci-tech dialogue

The Multidisciplinary International Conferences on Science and Technology section will focus on building consensus through flagship events with broad coverage, strong international influence and a high level of participation.

It will feature the International Science Council (ISC) Midterm Members' Meeting and Beijing Science Dialogue, the World Science and Technology Development Forum and the World Laureates Forum. Expected outcomes include the Beijing Declaration and the World Laureates Forum Declaration.

The High-Level Academic Conferences in Specialized Fields section will include more than 30 high-level international academic conferences focused on emerging frontiers and future development.

These conferences will cover fields including new energy, materials science, space science, artificial intelligence, integrated circuits and quantum technology. They will bring together experts and young researchers from China and abroad to discuss frontier issues across disciplines and key industrial challenges. The events will produce research reports and academic papers, showcase new technologies and products, and propose technical standards and rules.

The Model Mechanisms for People-to-People S&T Exchanges section will feature more than 30 bilateral exchange activities between China and partners including Central Asian countries, ASEAN members and the United States, as well as the World Young Scientists Summit.

Aimed at young scholars and engineers from China and abroad, the exchanges will provide a platform for dialogue at the intersection of science, technology and culture while promoting mutual learning and joint research.

Intl Month 2026 to expand in scale and reach

This year's edition expands on the inaugural International Month in 2025 in scale, geographic coverage and participation.

The inaugural edition featured 63 activities and attracted more than 20,000 participants from more than 110 countries and regions. This year's event has streamlined its structure from four sections to three while increasing the number of activities to about 70. It will move beyond a single-city format to involve multiple regions across China, covering major sci-tech innovation centers and extending exchanges overseas.

The initiative will also draw on resources from national academic societies, major scientific journals and international sci-tech organizations in China. It will involve leading scientists in flagship forums and give young researchers and engineers platforms for exchange.

Three areas to drive intl sci-tech progress

The 2026 International Month will place greater emphasis on three areas: strengthening innovation, deepening people-to-people exchanges and actively participating in global sci-tech governance.

It will strengthen its role in advancing innovation by bringing together the latest research outcomes and global talent to support the development of disciplines and emerging industries.

It will also deepen people-to-people exchanges by promoting diverse and inclusive dialogue and using science and technology to contribute to human progress.

Through its flagship conferences, the initiative will contribute to global sci-tech governance, promoting cooperation on rules, standards and scientific programs and working toward an open, fair, just and non-discriminatory environment for international sci-tech development.
