A Joint Laboratory for Next-generation Internet was set up by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) and Dongguan University of Technology (DGUT),

which was announced on August 30, 2012 at the signing ceremony of the cooperative agreement, co- signed by WANG Yifang, IHEP Director and YANG Xiaoxi, President of DGUT.

By setting up the joint lab, both sides will join hands in optimizing the utilization of resources and advantages, and in improving talent training for computer science and technology in DGUT. Eventually the cooperation will help the university and benefit local enterprises as well.

Following the Neutron Detection and Fast Electron Technology, the Electromechanical Technology R&D and the CSNS Joint Advanced Material Labs, the Joint Lab for Next-generation Internet is the fourth built by IHEP and DGUT.

After the signing ceremony, Prof. WANG toured the laboratory at the Computing College of the university.
