On September 27th, the Lecture Series on Current Trends of the World Humanities hosted by our university and organized by the Northern Frontier Language and Culture Integration and Communication Research Center and the School of Literature and Journalism Communication was held in Conference Room 8 of the Academic Conference Center of Saihan Campus.

In order to further enhance the internationalization level and international influence of our university's humanities and social sciences research, and accelerate the achievement of our strategic goal of establishing a first-class domestic and internationally renowned high-level university, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the International Council for Philosophy and Humanities (CIPSH), we invited Associate Prof. Zoltán György Somhegyi from the Art History Department of Karoly Gaspar University in Hungary and Prof. Jesús De La Villa Polo from the Classical Linguistics Department of the Autonomous University of Madrid in Spain were invited to visit our university. This lecture is one of the academic exchange activities of this visit. The lecture was hosted by Prof. Chao Gejin, Director of the Northern Frontier Language and Culture Integration and Communication Research Center at our university.

Associate Prof. Zoltán gave an academic lecture on "Natural Catastrophes and Fine Arts: Surveying the Changing Role of Art in the Rendering of Environmental Disasters," while Prof. De La Villa gave an academic lecture on the role of the “classics” in education systems. Hundreds of teachers and students of our school attended the lecture for learning and exchange. Focusing on the recent development trend and regional distribution of international humanities, the lecture jointly discussed the latest trends and hot issues of international humanities, providing a cutting-edge academic perspective and inspiration for the development of Chinese humanities in the context of globalization. They also offered insights into understanding Chinese civilization, China's path, and its world significance from the dimensions of global history, world economy, and international order.

During the lecture, two foreign scholars visited cultural facilities and venues such IMU’s Ethnic Museum and Inner Mongolia Museum, gaining a comprehensive understanding of Inner Mongolia's cultural traditions and achievements in contemporary social and cultural construction. They provided valuable experience for exploring topics such as the interaction between Inner Mongolia's language and culture, ecological civilization, and urban landscape, further promoting exchanges and cooperation between our university and international humanities academic platforms.
