Young Scientist Symposium on Physical Chemistry, organized by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), was held in November 4-7 at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP). More than 100 young scientists who are funded by the NSFC in recent years as distinguished and excellent young scholars from Chinese universities and research institutions attended the meeting.
At the opening ceremony, Dr. Feixue Gao from NSFC encouraged young scientists to strengthen collaboration and communications, especially in the interdisciplinary fields.Prof. Weihai Fang from Beijing Normal University, Prof. Zhongqun Tian from Xiamen University, Profs. Xueming Yang and Xinhe Bao from DICP gave plenary lectures. The symposium included 48 oral and 21 poster presentations, covering material science, calculational chemistry, theoretical catalysis, bio catalysis, catalytic chemistry, reaction dynamics, membrane science, photocatalysis and characterization techniques.
