Since 2011, ICS has hosted one or more graduate forums each academic year, organized by ICS or by a China faculty member and typically on some specific theme, especially in the early years. From 2013 onwards, the event has been held each spring and is organized by the the ICS Director. The forums give OSU graduate students in China-related areas an opportunity to present and discuss their research with faculty and peers.
