A 2021 Convention on Exchange of Overseas Talents will be jointly held with the 23rd Guangzhou Convention of Overseas Chinese Scholars in Science and Technology (OCS) in Guangzhou in December, according to its official website. The conference is opening applications for all overseas talents and foreign students who come to China to work and start businesses from September 3 to November 30.

Themed “Talent, Innovation, and Win-Win”, the 2021 OCS adopted the form of “main venue + branch venue + online venue” to cope with changing international situation and relevant requirements of normalized pandemic control.
