  • 2018 Xingda Lecture Schedule
    兴大报告年报 Xingda Lecture Yearbook Preface At the turning point to reform and boost its research and education system in 1995, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering (CCME) at Peking University, China, proposed to set up a science forum to foster idea refreshments and brainstorming between its faculty and outside scientists, aiming at broadening its collaborations with institutions of chemical sciences and educations all over the world. Against all odds, CCME and Beijing Xinda Scientific Systems hit it off instantly to jointly establish the Xingda Lecture Series. Thanks to its enthusiasm for science, Beijing Xinda Scientific Systems has been financially supporting this lecture series ever since then. From the very beginning, Prof. Chunhua Yan had been serving as the organizer of this lecture series until 2015 after which Prof. Kai Wu was named as the successor. The Xingda Lecture Series is held on every Friday throughout the academic year. Up to the time this booklet was edited, about 500 scientists had been invited to give talks at the Xingda Lecture Series which nearly cover all the research areas in chemistry and related disciplines. Needless to say, this lecture series won’t be able to last without great contribution from these scientists. With the great success of the Xingda Lecture series that has already benefited the faculty and students at CCME and the science communities inside and outside PKU as well, CCME in 2015 made the decision to upgrade this forum to the Xingda Lectureship that would be held by invited renowned and distinguished scientists from all over the world. This is also echoing the mission of Peking University in the new century which is to advance sciences and cultivate next-generation scientists for the betterment of humanity.
