The China Theory Week 2007 was held at the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science (ITCS) in Tsinghua University from September 17 to 21.  A total of more than 70 researchers and students in theoretical computer science attended the five-day meeting.

The workshop provided an international forum and opportunity for graduate students in theoretical computer science to meet and exchange research ideas. The presentations in the workshop also served as a useful indicator on where the exciting directions for the field might be currently and down the road. Turing Award Winner, Professor Andrew Chi-chih Yao from Tsinghua University, delivered the welcoming speech.
