City Introduction

All presentations and offline activities will be held in Qingdao, China. 

Qingdao is a coastal city in eastern China, located on the southern Shandong Peninsula, facing the Yellow Sea and bordering Jiaozhou Bay. It is a major seaport and economic center of Shandong Province. In 1891, the Qing government set up a defense post there. Germany occupied and leased Qingdao in 1898, leaving notable European-style architecture. Japan took control in 1914 and again in 1938. China recovered the city in 1922 and finally in 1945. Qingdao is also closely linked to the May Fourth Movement.

Qingdao is an important center for higher education and marine research. It hosts Ocean University of China, a leading institution in oceanography and fisheries, along with Qingdao University, Shandong University’s Qingdao campus, China University of Petroleum (East China), Qingdao University of Science and Technology, and Qingdao University of Technology. Major research bodies include the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Laoshan Laboratory. These institutions make Qingdao a key base for marine science, technology, and talent development.
