When culture meets academia

Under the scorching sun, 11 expat researchers and professors immersed themselves in the cultural vibe of Guanlan Print Village, also officially known as Guanlan Original Printmaking Base in Longhua District, on Friday. They checked out a printmaking workshop, the International Artists Village and the China Printmaking Museum, and they also engaged in hands-on printmaking.

The event, organized by the Shenzhen Municipal Science, Technology and Innovation Commission, aimed to provide an exchange platform for foreign experts from institutions such as Shenzhen Bay Laboratory, Shenzhen MSU-BIT University (SMBU), the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), and Shenzhen University (SZU).
