June 21, 2025 – Assistant Professor Dr. Rujira Ouncharoen, Dean of the International College of Digital Innovation (ICDI), Chiang Mai University, led a delegation to Xi’an Peihua College in the People’s Republic of China to explore academic collaboration with the College of Integrated Media Innovation. The delegation was warmly welcomed by Professor Donghua Zhou and the college’s executive team.

During the visit, the ICDI delegation toured Peihua’s state-of-the-art media production studios and research facilities, which specialize in short-form video, live streaming, and integrated digital media technologies—responding to the evolving needs of the modern creative industry.
The two institutions exchanged ideas on how to integrate their respective strengths to establish meaningful collaboration.

The visit marked a significant step toward building a strategic academic partnership in graduate education and international human resource development. Both institutions affirmed their commitment to deepening collaboration through faculty exchange, shared research infrastructure, and the co-design of future-focused curricula to elevate the global quality of digital media education.
