As one of the first private undergraduate institutions in China specializing in digital art and creative industry education, the Jilin Animation Institute has long been dedicated to promoting the deep integration of technology and art, actively utilizing cutting-edge technologies like AI to empower artistic creation, and continuously enriching the technological substance of creativity. Mr. Liu stated that the institute will continue to deepen its exchanges and cooperation with international universities to comprehensively enhance the quality of its education and the standards of talent cultivation.

Jilin Animation Institute and Sehan University are closely aligned in their educational philosophies, program structures, and internationalization goals. In the future, the two institutions will join hands to advance joint artistic creation and international exhibitions and competitions; two-way exchanges for faculty and students; joint academic research and talent cultivation; and international youth exchange and cultural co-building. This initiative aims to inject new momentum into cultural and educational cooperation between Chinese and South Korean private universities, jointly creating a new model for China-South Korea higher education cooperation.
