Universities to take part in CIIF
A total of 69 universities will participate in the 22nd China International Industry Fair, which will be held at the National Convention and Exhibition Center in Shanghai from Sept 15 to 19.
Universities such as Tsinghua University, Wuhan University, Fudan University, Osaka City University of Japan, Payap University, and the North-Chiang Mai University of Thailand will be among those in attendance.
According to the Shanghai Education Commission, the universities have brought 708 innovative achievements covering the fields of epidemic control research, industrial automation, artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing system, new energy and other aspects to the exhibition.
A special exhibition area dedicated to epidemic control will be set up in the exhibition this year to showcase scientific research contributions made by colleges and universities in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic.
For example, Nankai University from Tianjin has developed a COVID-19 CT imaging screening system based on interpretable artificial intelligence technology that can perform a diagnose by analyzing CT data in just 20 seconds.
As of March 26, the system has been deployed in 52 hospitals in Hubei province and other countries such as Japan, Italy, the United States and Germany, diagnosing over 153,608 cases.
The commission pointed out that the university and college exhibition area will strengthen the relationship with the science, technology, and the economic management department of the Yangtze River Delta by organizing tours of the exhibition for professional visitors. Roadshows and working seminars will also be arranged.
