From September 26 to 28, 2025, Prof. Fang Yu, Prof. Ma Jiani, and Dr. Peng Lingya from the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials at Shaanxi Normal University attended the “2025 Symposium on Discipline Development Strategy for Chemical Theory and Mechanism” in Beijing.

Fang Yu delivered a keynote report titled “Chemical Theory and Mechanism Research Requires Focus on Innovation in Sensor-Driven Molecular Materials and Devices”, and engaged in discussions with attending experts and scholars on cutting-edge developments and strategic directions within the discipline.

This symposium was jointly organized by the Chemistry Division of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Beijing Normal University. Attendees included multiple academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, along with nearly 100 national-level leading talents. Experts engaged in discussions on core topics including theoretical and computational chemistry, spectroscopy and dynamics, homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction mechanisms, polymer science, and interdisciplinary frontiers. These exchanges laid out a strategic blueprint for the future development of China’s chemical theory and mechanism.
