A few days ago, our school received the"Decision on Identifying the Fifth groups of Social Sciences Popularization Bases in Hunan Province" from Social Science Popularization & Publicity Committee of Hunan Province (Hunan Social Science Popularity No. [2016] No. 7). The “Huxiang Traditional Art Research Base” of our university has been officially recognized as the fifth Hunan social science popularization base. This is the first time our university has obtained a provincial-level social science popularization base platform for project establishment.
In the mean time, the school received a letter from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Hunan Province, which called "Permission to Build a Provincial Science& Technology Integrated Double-Innovation Platform and Barrier-Free Construction Supporting Unit" (Xiang Jian Ke Han [2016] No. 411). ) The applications for "Hunan Provincial Science &Technology Integrated Platform" and the "Hunan barrier-free construction support unit have been approved officially.

The “Hunan Cyber Technology and Information Security Laboratory” declared by our university has also been approved for construction and provided with funding and policy support.
At this point, our school has won a total of six key laboratories including the Dark Tea Golden Flower Fungus Hunan Provincial Key

The establishment of six provincial-level scientific research platforms such as Huxiang’s traditional arts and social science popularization base was achieved through the cordial attention and active enthusiasm of the school party committee’s administration. It has given full play to science and technology in gathering resources, serving the society, connecting supply and demand, and factors.
