Leading Knowledge Dissemination, Jointly Building a Photonic Future: China Science and Technology Development Press Attends the Launching Ceremony of the AI High-Performance Photonic Chip Research Center
On July 16, 2025, the AI High-Performance Photonic Chip Research Center was officially unveiled and established at the School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). This marks a new stage in the development of China's photonics technology field. Cheng Haidong, Chairman and Executive President of China Science and Technology Development Press, was invited to attend the ceremony. This is not only a witness to the birth of this important scientific research platform, but also another vivid practice of our long-term dedication to academic publishing and service for scientific and technological innovation.
As an important force in China's scientific and technological publishing field, China Science and Technology Development Press has always regarded promoting academic dissemination and serving scientific and technological innovation as its core mission. We are well aware that behind every major scientific and technological breakthrough, it not only requires top-tier scientific research teams to overcome difficulties, but also relies on a prosperous, open, and shared knowledge ecosystem for support. This is exactly where the press can play a key role.
Chairman Cheng Haidong stated at the ceremony: "Photonic chip technology is the frontier and development trend of information technology for the future. The establishment of the research center has injected strong innovative momentum into this field. As an academic press serving scientific and technological innovation, China Science and Technology Development Press has always taken 'connecting scientific research, disseminating knowledge, and serving innovation' as its responsibility. We will give full play to our advantages in academic resource integration and professional publishing and dissemination, and strive to become an important bridge for the efficient circulation, accumulation, and application of knowledge achievements in the photonic chip field, contributing publishing strength to the coordinated development of the technology ecosystem."
What Have We Done for Academic Progress?
1. Systematic Recording and Wide Dissemination: We have systematically published high-quality academic monographs, journals, conference proceedings, and scientific and technological reports covering many cutting-edge scientific and technological fields, laying a solid knowledge foundation for disciplinary development.
2. Precisely Meeting Scientific Research Needs: We pay close attention to the national major scientific and technological strategic needs and scientific research hotspots. In key interdisciplinary fields such as photonics and artificial intelligence, we have planned a series of high-level academic works on relevant themes, providing solid theoretical references and technical support for researchers.
3. Building Efficient Exchange Platforms: We actively organize or participate in academic conferences and forums, promoting the exchange of ideas and cooperation among researchers, and advancing the in-depth integration of industry, academia, and research.
Supporting the Future of Photonic Chips, We Are Already in Action
China Science and Technology Development Press deeply recognizes that the establishment of the AI High-Performance Photonic Chip Research Center is an important milestone in the development of the photonics technology field, and also perceives its great potential and strategic significance. We will give full play to our core advantages in academic resource integration and professional publishing and dissemination, go beyond the single-institution cooperation model, and actively promote the construction and prosperity of the entire photonic chip technology ecosystem.
To this end, we are committed to:
1. Building a Platform for Rapid Transformation of Achievements: Establish a priority publication channel for the core scientific research achievements and important technical reports of the research center, ensuring that its innovative ideas and breakthrough progress are timely and accurately transmitted to the academic and industrial circles.
2.
