It is also an innovative practice to deepen the integration of women’s higher education with the digital era. She noted that member institutions have played a significant role in advancing women’s higher education and expressed hope that they would fully embrace the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech at the National Education Conference. She encouraged them to leverage the distinctive features of women’s colleges and their strengths in gender equality education to empower more women to contribute to building a digital China and achieving self-reliance in science and technology.

Specific measures include introducing AI application modules into IT general education courses, adding AI-related content to specialized programs, developing digital curricula, enhancing digital resource platforms, and boosting the digital literacy of both faculty and students.Furthermore, leveraging the Maritime Silk Road College platform and in collaboration with the Smart Network Interconnection lab, Hwa Nan has dispatched faculty to the University of Valle in Colombia to teach its characteristic fashion design courses, thereby contributing to the global digital empowerment initiative for women’s development.
Representatives from member institutions discussed and exchanged ideas on implementation plans for initiatives such as the Digital Intelligence Dandelion Classroom, Digital Talent Training Camp, and the connectivity of the alliance’s digital information platform. They shared relevant experiences in running their institutions and reached preliminary consensus on collaboration intentions and models.
