The 2nd Joint Summer School on Theoretical High-Energy Physics is a continuation of two series of summer schools hosted by the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Sciences in Beijing (2021 in Liyang, 2023 in Shanghai, and 2024 in Beijing) and by the Yau Center in Southeast University (2020 online, 2021 online, 2023 in Nanjing, and 2024 in Nanjing). Since 2025 in Hangzhou, we have merged these two series and will hold the summer school annually in China. 

For 2026, the summer school will be co-hosted by the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Southeast University at the UCAS Zhongguancun Campus. The goal of this series of summer schools is to expose students and postdocs in China to the frontiers in theoretical high-energy physics and introduce to them to the basic research techniques in various subfields. To cover both the basics and the cutting-edge research in various subfields, the summer school will have a few mini-lectures and invited research talks.
