Tsinghua University’s Department of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences hosts this English-language summer school with its Research Centre for Culture and Psychology. The 2026 theme connected Chinese thought, cultural and positive psychology, neuroscience, public health and mental-health practice.

Participants joined lectures, cultural fieldwork and cross-cultural group inquiry in Beijing. Teams developed research proposals, intervention concepts or public-communication projects and presented them to faculty.
