The PhD Workshop China is a professional event in China where overseas universities and research schools could present their PhD programs and network with the top Chinese postgraduates and PhD candidates.

According to the China State-Funded Postgraduate Overseas Study Program, annually from 2007 to 2011, 5000 postgraduates from the 39 "State 985 Project" universities & 112 "State 211 Project" universities are being sent abroad to the top ranking universities under the supervision of top advisers.

Enrolment for state-funded students begins in February and students are required to complete the application process within one month.  The Phd workshop, to be held in November, serves as a gateway for tertiary institutions and students to network and access available talents across China.
