Opportunities to be invited to the 2027 Youth in Public Health Symposium at Harvard in Boston
Founded in 2016 by Professor Liming Liang, the Youth in Public Health Symposium is jointly organized by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, IDDH-HGG, and Tsinglan School. Its mission is to cultivate future leaders in public health through research-driven, public-interest–oriented.
Over the past decade, the program has expanded from Boston to Shanghai and now the Greater Bay Area, remaining committed to its core belief: breaking barriers and sharing world-class academic resources.
Through guided research practice, students learn to identify social needs, apply scientific methods, and develop responsibility alongside academic rigor, planting early seeds of inquiry and impact.
The program actively welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, aiming to reduce geographic and economic barriers and to identify and nurture young talent with strong research potential.
Tsinglan School was jointly founded in August 2017 by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and Tsinghua University High School.
