The application process is now open for this year’s summer school:

More information and online registration on the school’s website: https://cckisc.ff.cuni.cz/en/lecture-series/prague-summer-school-of-chinese-poetry-2026/
A group of scholars from Europe and Taiwan will present a series of talks, readings, and discussions about poetry written in Chinese language by a variety of authors from China and Taiwan. Even though the focus is on modern poetry, classical language poetry will be touched upon as well. The summer school offers a unique opportunity to look at poetry from various angles and discuss methodologies, poetics, interpretations, and translations. At the core of this, there will be the pleasure of close reading of selected poems provided in advance.
Summer school is organized by CCK-ISC in collaboration with the Department of Sinology.
Date: 30 August – 4 September 2026
