On April 25, 2025, the vibrant and culturally rich Tongzhou Campus of Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology (BIFT) hosted the grand launch ceremony of the journal  RESEARCH in ART & DESIGN . As a highlight of the “Colorful Festival” (please insert the full name of the event), the event marked the debut of a new academic platform dedicated to the international dissemination of Chinese culture and cross-cultural academic exchange.

The journal is sponsored by BIFT and edited by the editorial team of  Art and Design Research (bilingual edition). The launch ceremony gathered distinguished guests, including Editor-in-Chief Jia Ronglin, Party Secretary Huang Keying of BIFT, and other notable participants (please complete the list of attendees), who witnessed the official unveiling of this meaningful initiative.

Amid the current wave of globalization, the importance of cultural exchange has become increasingly evident.  RESEARCH in ART & DESIGN responds to this global trend with a clear mission: to foster dialogue between Chinese and international cultures. Drawing on the editorial resources of  Art and Design Research , the journal curates content that supports the cross-cultural communication of Chinese culture and scholarship. Through in-depth studies in art, history, philosophy, and more, it aims to build a stable and efficient platform for international cultural exchange.

Starting April 2025, the journal will be distributed globally in both print and digital formats, with an English-language website to follow. Looking ahead, it will continue to collaborate with international institutions to expand its global influence and reach broader audiences.
