The Innovation Academy Activity

Science and technology are reshaping the world. And innovation leads the future. The Innovation showcases inspiring interdisciplinary discoveries to the scientific community, encouraging scientists to focus on the essence of science and the original spirit of free exploration. Let's get together to see the unseen and change the unchanged in the progress of human civilization.

The Innovation Conference

The Innovation Conference is an academic meeting dedicated to problem-solving. Centered around the axis of "problem-collecting, problem-discussing, problem-solving, problem-publishing and industrial-translation", The Innovation Conference caters to various needs of scientists, bridging academic and industry.

"The Innovation Conference 2024" was held in Shenzhen from July 12th to 14th, 2024. The theme of this conference includes: the impact of artificial intelligence on scientific paradigms, ScienceX (interdisciplinary science), new energy and sustainable development, xenotransplantation, unveiling "black box theory," burden of major diseases, Authors' Day, Youth Scientists' Social Responsibility Forum, Industrial Translation Forum, Lunar Art Exhibition, and visiting to renowned companies in Shenzhen. More than 650 experts, scholars and managers from 396 universities, research institutes, science and technology companies and other academic and investment organizations discussed 68 questions on 35 topics. The results of the discussions on these issues will be released in the form of news reports, hot topics and academic papers; continuing to promote S&T innovation widely. The Innovation Conference 2024 generated 415 million reads on the Twitter(X) platform.

"The Innovation Conference 2023" was held in Hangzhou in November 2023, featured a "problem-solving" roundtable discussion on seven key themes: international cooperation in new age, climate crisis and carbon neutrality, health management in the post-pandemic era, artificial intelligence security, social responsibility of young scientists, face-to-face with editors, and industrial translation. Participants included fifteen academicians, frontline researchers, editors from prestigious journals like Cell, Nature and Science. Over 60 investment institutions and nearly 500 people, including the initiators of the "ONCE Hangzhou Initiative", were welcomed. Five joint teams formed at the conference are now actively engaged in problem-solving endeavors.

Education

We conduct activities such as science and technology training camps, popular science and education training, and public welfare courses, and organize cross-disciplinary theme salons on 'science popularization, cultural tourism, and animation'. We invite young scientists at the forefront of research to engage in multiple science popularization educations for primary and secondary school students and the general public, sharing their original intentions, ideas, and methods in scientific and science popularization work. This has led to the establishment of the Young Scientists Social Responsibility Alliance. By linking research units with cultural enterprises, we integrate scientific elements into the animation and amusement industries, injecting new elements and content into related industries. This also provides a more diverse communication channel and richer and more interesting forms of expression for the popularization, enlightenment, and visualization of scientific knowledge. Supported by technology, the development of basic education aims to stimulate students' scientific curiosity, sow the seeds of science in basic education, and enhance the scientific literacy of the public.

Industrial Translation

Committed to translating breakthrough scientific discoveries into practical applications, The Innovation fosters technological innovation and economic growth. By collaborating with industry experts, companies, and investors, we provide a platform for scientists to quickly transform their research outcomes into marketable products and services. This event featured three selected projects: high-speed super-resolution optical microscopes, ALD equipment, and MEMS mass spectrometers. Experts from Xi'an Jiaotong University, Shanxi Institute of Coal Chemistry (Chinese Academy of Sciences), and Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (Chinese Academy of Sciences) were invited. The event attracted representatives from multiple organizations including Shenzhen Capital Group, Keystone Capital, Hodaf Capital, Hodaf Finance, PwC Capital, Warburg Investment, Fupu Investment, and Zhejiang Innovation Development Capital. Attendees engaged in deep discussions on cutting-edge technology in instrument development, industrial transformation, and application prospects. Two projects achieved collaboration intentions.

Publications

Our mission is to provide a platform for researchers to share their findings with the global scientific community, fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas. By maintaining rigorous peer-review standards and ensuring open access, we aim to make scientific knowledge accessible to all, promoting transparency and advancing the frontiers of science. This commitment supports the continuous growth of scientific understanding and its application to real-world challenges, contributing to global progress and innovation.
