Psychological science is an important discipline to study mental health, mental function and behavior of human beings. It is also a discipline connecting natural science and humanities.With the advent of the 3 era of innovation and the rapid development of large data and artificial intelligence, human beings will enter the era of deep blending between the physical world and the virtual world. The problem of human mental health is more prominent. Psychological Science in the future will usher in new opportunities for development and shoulder the responsibilities of new missions. The Center for Psychological Sciences at Zhejiang University came into being under such a big background. It is the main idea to carry out the research on the frontier exploration and the application of industrial innovation in the related fields. The characteristic forum is aimed at building up a communication platform for young scholars at home and abroad, which has continuously injected new vitality and source into the research of psychological science.
