The 10th Tibet Think Tank International Forum was held in Beijing on November 10, 2026, alongside the launch of Digital Intelligence in Tibet: Sharing and Development, according to The Paper’s original report.

The forum, themed “Digital Intelligence Practices in Tibet Under the New Development Philosophy,” was jointly organized by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences’ Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology, its Tibet think tank, and China Social Sciences Press. Scholars from Russia, Nepal and Mongolia, along with representatives of Chinese universities and research institutions, participated in person or online.

A keynote session and three thematic sessions addressed policy implementation in Tibet, digital technology in modernization, and the preservation of cultural heritage. Speakers also discussed topics including the digitization of Tibetan-language documents, clean energy and development in the Himalayan region.

Three speakers from Tibet described practical applications: Chen Yuanhan of Nyingchi Municipal People’s Hospital discussed healthcare; Tsering Ji, an agricultural and livestock products seller, described using livestream commerce; and Tashi, a resident of Caizhao village in Milin, spoke about changes in Lhoba residents’ lives.

The accompanying book was written by a research team from the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology following fieldwork in Tibet. The report says it was released in three languages and that its Chinese edition includes print, ebook and audiobook formats, as well as a digital collectible distributed with print copies.

The forum has been held annually since 2017, the report said.
