If you are not familiar with CHIC yet, here is a brief introduction.
如果你还不了解CHIC的话，请看以下简介。
China Hardware Innovation Camp (CHIC) is an academic-industry cooperation program curated by EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne). It offers a unique opportunity for students to experience the steps from idea to prototype of a product innovation in team-work, cross-culture environment, to solve real-world challenges.
CHIC是中国瑞士硬件创新营的简称，是由瑞士洛桑联邦理工大学发起并举办的一个学术产业合作项目。它为学生们提供了一个独一无二的机会，让参与者了解并亲身体验从想法到原型的整个过程。CHIC展示了一种跨学科合作的方式，结合工程、设计和商业相关知识与经验，帮助学生们跨越学科界限，进行更深度的合作。
CHIC represents an interdisciplinary approach, combining knowledge and practical elements of engineering, design, and business. It therefore offers a great learning possibility for students keen to push the boundaries of their disciplinaries. CHIC features Swiss-China cooperation in many perspectives. It has been a model of academic-industry & cross-culture collaboration, triggering more institutes in countries including China, Singapore, US, and Canada to think about possible ways of creating similar programs for academic-industry cooperation.
CHIC项目也体现了瑞士与中国在不同方面的合作。自2015年至今，已经有76个学生参与了该项目，14个项目成功落地产出。CHIC项目也成为了产学研与跨文化合作的一个经典案例，让中国、新加坡、美国和加拿大等国家的多所高校思考建立类似的产学研合作项目。
