RSD12-Shenzhen, hosted by SUSTech confirmed. More details are coming soon.
RSD12-Shenzhen Setting
Shenzhen is a UNESCO Creative City of Design, founded in 1979 and chosen as China’s first special economic zone in 1980. The city is a major design hub and one of the leading design cities in China. Shenzhen embodies the concept of modern Chinese design and has more than 6,000 design firms representing an 11 billion Yuan industry (1.54 billion USD). With such an active design, technology, and innovation culture, the SUSTech campus never stops, moving ahead at “Shenzhen speed.” However, there’s also downtime for the beach, a picnic in one of the many parks around the city, or a day trip to Hong Kong or Guangzhou.
