Professor Ping Wang, Deputy Director of the Laboratory, laboratory researchers Professor Yujue Wang and Associate Professor Yuan Cheng, and members of the laboratory team took part in the exchange.

The project team conducted an on-site inspection of the laboratory's facilities, research and development achievements, and more. Ping Wang briefed the project team on the laboratory's construction progress, positioning and distinctive features, and achievements in research translation. He also pointed out the challenges the laboratory currently faces in funding and in recruiting experts.

Yanan Pan stated that the laboratory has achieved excellent results in research on full-chain management of archival operations and in the application of new technologies. She expressed the hope that the laboratory will focus on lightweight, application-intensive business scenarios in the future, further promote the close integration of resource management and AI applications, and respond to major national strategic needs. Organized by project leaders Lan Wang and Miao Li, the two sides held further discussions on the evaluation and development of the laboratory and reached consensus on a number of issues, including physical infrastructure, talent and team building, funding and policy support, and targeted evaluation mechanisms.
