Media units,

We are delighted to extend our warmest invitation to you for the 2024 WLA Forum, marking the seventh year of this prestigious event where the brightest minds come together. 

Scheduled to take place from October 25-27, 2024, at the Permanent Site of the WLA Forum, the 2024 WLA Forum promises to be a truly remarkable event. It will also feature the grand Award Ceremony for the 2024 WLA Prize.

Since its inception in 2018, the WLA Forum has emerged as one of the most prominent scientific gatherings worldwide. Notably, President Xi Jinping conveyed a letter of congratulations to the 2019 WLA Forum and addressed the 2020 WLA Forum through a video message.

This year's theme for the 2024 Forum is "Excellence in Science." The Forum will host 300 esteemed guests from around the world, including world laureates, Chinese academicians, and outstanding young scientists, alongside representatives from government, academia, industry, and investment. Together, we will address pressing global challenges during this time of change, exploring the relationship between scientific excellence and innovative development. Our goal is to navigate contemporary complexities through creativity and inquiry, paving the way for breakthroughs that will propel future advancements.

Your presence at the 2024 WLA Forum would be of great honor for us and an exciting experience for you.
