今晚，在由中國英國商會舉辦的“2021年中國社會影響力大獎”評選活動中，寧波諾丁漢大學成功榮獲“社區(qū)文化獎”。

社區(qū)文化獎提名旨在表彰通過藝術、體育、音樂、跨文化交流、民間合作等方式全力培養(yǎng)社區(qū)意識和大力推廣文化活動的社會組織。同時入圍該獎項的還有賽默飛世爾科技公司和太古地產等5家單位。

寧波諾丁漢大學在文化遺產保護領域有過許多探索與突破。這不僅體現在我校學者利用其技術與學術知識在保護和促進當地文化作出的杰出努力和貢獻，更體現在寧波諾丁漢大學所有師生用創(chuàng)造力和熱情影響著整個社區(qū)乃至城市的人參與到對文化遺產的保護中。

以寧諾英偉達混合現實聯(lián)合實驗室為例。該實驗室致力于將數字化引入到文化遺產領域，再現各類世界遺產和文化古跡，由全球知名虛擬現實學者莊以仁（Eugene Ch’ng）教授領銜。成立以來，實驗室在文化遺產數字化領域進行前沿研究，與此同時團隊利用數字化技術保護寧波的歷史和文化，打造了一批極具辨識度的項目，如重現寧波元代三江口、追尋江南記憶中的外婆家等等，用新穎的方式向世界展示與傳播寧波。

而寧諾甬學研究中心儼然已成為所有熱愛甬學的海內外專家學者間互動交流的首選平臺。該中心由寧波諾丁漢大學國際傳播學賀龍飛（Thomas Hirzel）博士、建筑學謝晶博士和計算機科學David Towey教授領銜，團隊通過攝影測量和數字捕獲等技術，建立了寧波市古代和現今即將消逝的建筑數據庫。團隊還與寧波博物館啟動了長期計劃，掃描和記錄寧波獨有的“青瓷”，以期將其數字化收藏存檔。中心還聚集了跨界跨學科的甬學愛好者，共同向世界推介寧波燦爛的文化遺產。

自2019年年末寧波諾丁漢大學與寧波幫博物館簽署共建“人文素質教育基地”后，雙方在人文素質教育、志愿服務和社會實踐交流合作上展開了深入的合作。寧諾教學副校長Cohen Tan博士為項目總協(xié)調。國際傳播系系主任Filippo Gilardi博士則大力推進了選修模塊“數字敘事、數字素養(yǎng)”在寧波幫博物館的落地。他多次帶學生赴博物館開展社會實踐，在他的悉心指導下，學生豐富的創(chuàng)意大大增加了寧波幫故事的傳播度，也吸引了本地和國際觀眾了解寧波幫故事。比如，就有學生追蹤記錄下老寧波人的食譜，并將這些食譜作為明信片分享給線上和線下參觀者。

據了解，此次寧波諾丁漢大學獲評中國英國商會舉辦的“2021年中國社會影響力大獎” 的“社區(qū)文化獎”，是對寧波諾丁漢大學在文化遺產保護及推廣工作方面所作出的杰出貢獻給予的充分肯定。未來，寧諾將繼續(xù)致力于利用高科技手段進行文化遺產保護；發(fā)展研究中國和寧波的文化遺產；提高年輕人對歷史文化遺產的認識和參與程度，成為具有國際影響力的文化遺產保護品牌。

University of Nottingham Ningbo China wins 2021 China Social Impact Awards

16 September: University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) received the Community and Culture Award presented by British Chamber of Commerce in China at the 2021 China Social Impact Awards ceremony held in Beijing.

Community and culture are the two pillars that enable us to live a rich human experience. As the winner of this award, UNNC is the organisation that has gone to the greatest length to foster a sense of community and promote cultural activities. It has done this by engaging in cross-cultural exchange, civil society partnerships and building local community support networks. UNNC was nominated as a finalist alongside Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. and Swire Properties.

In the area of preservation of cultural heritage, UNNC is not only able to leverage its world-leading technical and academic expertise, but also the creativity and enthusiasm of its students and staff. At UNNC there are global leaders in the use of technology in the preservation of cultural heritage, and the impact of their work in the area has both global and local impacts.

The NVIDIA Joint-Lab on Mixed Reality has been committed to introducing digitalisation into the field of cultural heritage. Professor Eugene Ch’ng, the director of the NVIDIA Joint Lab and the Digital Heritage Centre, has been at the forefront of the field of the digitalisation of cultural heritage for over 15 years, developing Virtual Reality projects in the areas of architecture, archaeology and cultural heritage. Prof Ch’ng has been a pioneer of developing this technology in Europe and UK and is actively transferring his expertise to China through a series of collaborative and community-based programmes.

There is also the Centre of Ningbo Studies that is led by Dr Thomas Hirzel, Dr Jing Xie and Professor Dave Towey whose work centres on the use of Photogrammetry and Digital Capture to preserve and database cultural artefacts and architecture, but also to build bridges between communities of enthusiasts and scholars, and promote Ningbo’s rich cultural heritage both within China and abroad. They have organised numerous cultural and community events to showcase their work and raise awareness of the Ningbo’s past as a maritime trading hub. The Centre is currently providing technical workshops and consultancy for staff in the Ningbo Museum on Photogrammetry and Digital Capture so as to archive Ningbo’s priceless collection of Celadon.

Since 2019, UNNC has also established cooperation with Ningbo Bang Museum in developing humanistic quality education, community services and social practices with the support and coordination of Dr K. Cohen Tan, Interim Vice Provost for Teaching & Learning. Dr Filippo Gilardi, Head of School of International Communications, has been actively promoting the development of the internship practice module “Digital Narrative, Digital Literacy” at the Ningbo Bang museum. He also took students to the Ningbo Bang Museum to carry out social practices multiple times. Under his guidance, the playful creativity of these students has brought the museum content alive for younger generations of Ningbonese, and greatly increased engagement with the story of the Ningbo Bang.

The Community and Cultural Award is recognition for the fantastic effort put in by UNNC in terms of preservation and promotion of cultural heritage through a variety of initiatives. In the future, UNNC remains committed to developing the best practice in the use of technology in the preservation of cultural heritage, focusing on scholarship on Chinese and Ningbonese cultural heritage and to act as a bridge for local and international communities of scholars. The University hopes to raise awareness of and engagement with Ningbo’s historical legacy amongst younger generations of Ningbonese, throughout China, and with international communities.
