On July 30th, the Human Cognition and Health Global Summer School, offered by the Department of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences at Zhejiang University, successfully concluded. Over the two-week program, participants from top-tier institutions worldwide—including the University of Oxford, Monash University, University College London, The University of Hong Kong, Peking University, Fudan University, and Zhejiang University—engaged in a series of lectures, field-based teaching sessions, and group discussions. Through these diverse activities, students explored cutting-edge psychological knowledge, experienced multicultural exchanges, and built profound friendships during their brief yet meaningful interactions.

In the series of academic lectures, focusing on four key modules—developmental psychology, clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, and management psychology—renowned scholars including Fellow Jan Theeuwes of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, Professor Kang Lee from the University of Toronto, and Professor Koraly Pérez-Edgar from Pennsylvania State University delivered dozens of insightful lectures and presentations.
