The U.S.-China Research Group on Cosmopolitanism was a group of leading U.S. and Chinese scholars that met for structured dialogues around theoretical and practical problems related to cosmopolitanism.
From 2021 to 2024, Philip J. Ivanhoe of Georgetown University in collaboration with Peng Guoxiang of Zhejiang University convened the U.S.-China Research Group on Cosmopolitanism.

The scholars produced an initial bibliography, background report, and working papers, culminating in a final set of papers published in a special issue of the Journal of Confucian Philosophy and Culture.
