Recently, the Ministry of Science and Technology announced the results of project approvals for key special projects under the National Key R&D Program. NWU’s projects led by Professor LU Shanbing and Professor PENG Jinye were respectively approved: the “Construction and Demonstration of China-Tajikistan Environmental Technology Transfer System” under the “Special Project on Intergovernmental International Scientific and Technological Innovation Cooperation,” and the “R&D and Application Demonstration of Intelligent Service Platform for Traditional Art Resources” under the “Special Project on Cultural Technology and Modern Service Industry.”
The “Construction and Demonstration of China-Tajikistan Environmental Technology Transfer System” is led by Professor LU Shanbing from NWU Institute of Silk Road Studies, undertaken jointly with Nankai University, Sino-Japan Friendship Centre for Environmental Protection (Environmental Development Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment), and the Institute of Water Problems, Hydropower and Ecology of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan. The project focuses on building an environmental technology transfer system tailored to China and Tajikistan, including technical requirements assessment, policy mechanism design, key technology demonstration, and construction of an environmental technology transfer platform. By analyzing Tajikistan’s ecological environment, it identifies the country’s technical needs in water pollution control and biodiversity conservation, conducts technology transfer demonstrations, and promotes effective application of environmental technologies.
The “R&D and Application Demonstration of Intelligent Service Platform for Traditional Art Resources” is led by Professor PENG Jinye of NWU, undertaken jointly with The Palace Museum, Development Center of State Public Culture (under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Peking University, China Telecom, etc. NWU will undertake Task 4, “Research on Key Technologies for Intelligent Auxiliary Creation of Traditional Opera Based on Video Fusion Generation.” China’s traditional art, a unique cultural symbol of the Chinese nation and the essence of thousands of years of civilizational accumulation, requires digital and intelligent inheritance and innovation to drive the digital transformation and upgrading of the cultural industry and enhance national cultural soft power. The research results will ignite new momentum for the standardized, intelligent, and regulated development of the traditional art resources industry, serving the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese traditional art resources.
