The international conference “China, Socialism and the Future of Humanity”, jointly organised by the School of Marxism at East China Normal University and the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade, was held on 30–31 May at East China Normal University in Shanghai.
The conference brought together scholars from China, Serbia, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Slovenia, Croatia, Russia, Italy and other countries. Across thematic panels devoted to the critique of modernity, socialist governance, China–Europe relations, political economy, law, artificial intelligence, and digital society, participants discussed the contemporary challenges of socialism and its theoretical, institutional, and civilisational perspectives in the twenty-first century.
The conference marks an important step in deepening academic cooperation between East China Normal University and IFDT, as well as in strengthening broader international dialogue on the future of socialist theory and practice.
