Ceramics, as a bright pearl in the treasure of human culture and art, not only condense the great creativity and cultural spirit of human beings, but also add a brilliant chapter to the annals of world civilization. Ceramics highly condensed human cultural creative thinking and unique aesthetic ideas, from which there are inexhaustible, inexhaustible cultural and artistic nutrients.

The establishment of GIC is a historical choice. Its establishment is to integrate the relevant resources and top talent experts of the global ceramic industry, to establish a global cooperative research institution with ceramic culture and art inheritance and development, theoretical research and creation, industrial science and technology innovation and application research and practice, ceramic experts training and exchange, etc., which will therefore promote the world ceramic industry science and technology, innovation, green, environmental protection, healthy and sustainable development, and achieve greater development of the new era of human ceramic industry. 

As not only a material production, but also a spiritual production, with the dual properties of material and spiritual, ceramics directly serve for people's life. Under the guidance of the idea of "building a community with a shared future for mankind", proposed by the United Nations for new development in the world , GIC will make every effort to integrate experts, institutions, colleges, enterprises, person with ability and other effective resources in the global ceramic industry, and pursue the concept of co-construction, sharing and cooperative development, to build a non-state-owned, borderless  international ceramic research institute with cooperation of global ceramic industry.

Through the deep cooperation with the world's famous ceramic universities, research institutions, large enterprises, social organizations, GIC achieves the best development of academic research and talent exchange which better serves the global IAC members and the world ceramic industry.

I think the establishment of GIC is a great blessing for the ceramic world and is sure to be recorded into history. Its establishment not only made practical and effective efforts for the research and development of ceramics in the world, but also made positive contributions to the implementation of the cultural strategy in the new era and the promotion of ceramic culture.
