"Top tech universities like Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications often lack archaeology departments. We need a joint cooperation mechanism between technologists and cultural scholars," Zhao says.
To foster such an interdisciplinary ecosystem, she has been actively building platforms for convergence.
The inaugural Chinese Conference on Cultural Intelligence, jointly organized by the China Graphics Society, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and the China Society of Image and Graphics, concluded in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, in October 2025, with Zhao hosting its closing ceremony.
She received the baton from the previous organizer, which indicates that the second conference will be held in Beijing.
The World Internet Conference (WIC) was established as an international organization on July 12, 2022, headquartered in Beijing, China. It was jointly initiated by Global System for Mobile Communication Association (GSMA), National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center of China (CNCERT), China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), Alibaba Group, Tencent, and Zhijiang Lab.
