中国人民大学新闻学院、国家传播战略研究中心和新闻与社会发展研究中心将于6月18日在北京举行2020年国家传播战略论坛，主题为“全球传播与国家发展：建构超越边界的共同体”。本次论坛旨在深入探索由数字媒介技术发展带来的全球传播与国家发展相关的紧迫而深远的问题，尤其是无处不在的泛在网络、社交媒体平台、大数据、人工智能等一系列数字通信新技术的出现和日益广泛的应用，给人与人之间、国家与国家之间的跨文化交流带来了新的可能性，推动了物理世界与虚拟世界之间的再传播，以及跨境网络和人类社区的新形态的形成，从政治、经济、文化等各个层面建构着全新的人类共同体。

这些尖端数字技术在为工商业、艺术和娱乐领域以及国家发展的各个方面带来激动人心的发展机遇的同时，也带来了许多社会、经济、政治和文化的问题或挑战，尤其在跨文化交流和国际关系方面。例如，数字通信技术能够或应该在促进和维持国家间相互理解与和平共处发挥什么作用？数字技术的个人用户如何以及应该在多大程度上与网络另一端的人产生跨界互动？国家和个人在达成跨境共识或社区建设中面临哪些机遇和挑战？数字传播的进步将如何影响全球新闻、国际关系、多元文化的人类互动、文化产品和媒体资本的跨境流动、全球公民教育、国家发展中的全球传播政策制定等？而这些对中国的国家发展带来什么影响，我们如何跨越边界共同建造最美好的人类共同体?

我们诚挚邀请有兴趣的学者、专家和行业领袖参加2020年论坛。希望通过演讲和交流，论坛参与者们能够提出进一步的学术和应用研究建议，最终有助于促进全球各国在跨界社区建设方面的最佳做法。欢迎您联系论坛的组织者邮箱ncsrc@ruc.edu.cn，了解更多关于您如何成为小组成员或报名参加论坛。

Announcing

The 2020 National Communication Strategy Forum on

Global Communication and National Development: Building Communities Across Borders

Renmin University of China’s School of Journalism and National Communication Strategy Research Center proudly announce the 2020 National Communication Strategy Forum on “Global Communication and National Development: Building Communities Across Borders.” The Forum will be held in Beijing on June 18, 2020.

The Forum aims to address some of the urgent and far-reaching issues related to the complex and dynamic interrelationships between global communication and national development. We witness in the recent years the emergence of an array of digital communication technologies such as ubiquitous networks, social media platforms, big data, artificial intelligence, etc. The emergence and increasingly widespread use of these technologies has brought about new possibilities in cross-cultural communication among people and nations, in the re-media/tion between the physical world and the virtual world, and in the trans/formation of new forms of cross-border networks and human communities. But while these cutting-edge digital technologies have facilitated much excitement and development opportunities in diverse industries and commercial enterprises, arts and entertainment fields, as well as various aspects of national development, they have also brought about numerous social, economic, political and cultural issues or challenges, especially from the perspectives of intercultural communication and international relations.

For example, what role can or should these digital communication technologies play in facilitating and maintaining constructive relationships among nations in ways that would promote mutual understanding and peaceful co-existence? How and to what extend can and should individual users of these digital technologies do in engendering their cross-border interactions with their counterparts? What are the opportunities and challenges facing nations, as well as individuals in cross-border consensus or community-building? How will advances in digital communications affect global journalism, international relations, multicultural human interaction, cross-border movement of cultural products and media capitals, education in global citizenship, global communication policy-making in national development, etc.?

We sincerely invite interested scholars, experts and industry leaders to participate in the 2020 Forum. We hope that through their presentations and exchanges, Forum participants will come up with recommendations for further academic and applied research that would eventually help foster best practices in cross-border community-building among nations from across the globe.
