Recently, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Science and Technology announced the list of recognized international science and technology cooperation platforms for 2024, and the college's "Zhejiang-Korea Intelligent Design Joint Laboratory" was successfully selected as a Zhejiang Provincial International Joint Laboratory. This marks the college's first provincial-level international joint laboratory, signifying a new breakthrough in the construction of the college's international scientific research platforms.
The "Zhejiang-Korea Intelligent Design Joint Laboratory," led by Professor Xia Yingchong, is a meticulously constructed cross-border, interdisciplinary research platform. Upholding the core principles of "innovation leadership, mutual development, and cooperative win-win," the joint laboratory closely follows the pulse of national major development strategies, focusing on digital and intelligent fashion innovation design, striving to advance international design research and cooperation, and exploring new pathways for government decision-making and industrial development. The laboratory relies on overseas cooperative platforms with a long-term collaborative foundation, engaging in in-depth cooperation across multiple dimensions such as AIGC, integrated innovation, cultural creativity, interactive design, and fashion design. Both co-construction parties will form a design innovation team with high professional quality, innovative capability, and international vision through joint design talent cultivation and faculty exchanges. By closely aligning with local industrial development, the laboratory aims to promote local original design, realize the cultivation of local innovative talents and social services, and provide international design "think tank" support for the region's leapfrog industrial development.
It is reported that international science and technology cooperation platforms are important for Zhejiang Province to deeply advance global science and technology precision cooperation and participate.
