Assignment context

The 2026 Mountain Green Sustainable Development International Cooperation Forum will bring together experts, young professionals, international students, and partner organizations to discuss green development, renewable energy cooperation, international technology transfer, and youth participation in sustainable development.
Within the framework of Forum Sub-forum II on international technology transfer and international volunteer service, the Youth Scientists Salon (Singularity Meeting) was held in Chongqing on 12 July 2026. The Salon is designed as a small roundtable and open exchange platform for Chinese energy-sector youth, international young scholars, doctoral students, and youth representatives from Central Asia, South Asia, ASEAN and other regions.
The activity focuses on practical questions related to green technology needs in mountain regions, the localization of renewable energy technologies, the connection between international volunteer service and technology transfer, and youth-led cooperation mechanisms. It aims to support cross-cultural dialogue, knowledge sharing, and youth engagement for the Sustainable Development Goals.
Following the conclusion of the Salon, structured post-event communication and documentation are required to consolidate participant information, collect feedback, maintain engagement with international guests and youth representatives, and identify potential areas for future cooperation. The assignment is therefore focused exclusively on post-event organization, communication, documentation, feedback collection, and follow-up reporting.
