Culture-oriented science & technology is a systematic and comprehensive discipline that applies the theories and methods of modern science and technology to the development of cultural innovation. Generally, it specifically refers to the related science & technology that can directly serve, participate in, and support the performance and reproduction of cultural content. Facing all aspects of cultural creation, production, dissemination, service, consumption and reproduction, cultural-oriented science & technology focuses on providing exquisite, accurate, and high-quality technical support services for cultural development, and cultivating and leading the development of new cultural formats.

The orientation of cultural-oriented science & technology is to promote the innovation and development of modern culture as the driving force. Supported by high and new technologies such as network, information, materials, and manufacturing, it integrates cultural elements such as aesthetics, art, design, and communication, and serves the performance and presentation of cultural content, the perception and consumption of the audience, and the management and service of government administration. At the same time, it promotes the development and progress of cultural-oriented science & technology, and realizes the deep integration and innovative development of culture, science & technology, and economic society.

Against this background, the International Conference on Culture-oriented Science & Technology (CoST) aims to provide an international academic exchange platform with the theme of “cultural and technological integration” for the majority of culture-oriented scientific people, culture-oriented scientific research institutions, related universities, and international culture-oriented science & technology enterprises.
