On December 10, 2022, the International Collaboration Working Committee of the SSSC and The Innovation jointly hosted an online conference, the “2022 Bonn-Chengdu Humboldt Forum – International and Interdisciplinary Cooperation.”

 

The opening session was hosted by Prof. Fang Wang of the Institute of Soil Science of the CAS and Chair of the International Collaboration Working Committee of the SSSC. She warmly welcomed all participants and invited academic Yongguan Zhu from the Institute of Urban Environment of the CAS and Consultant for the International Working Collaboration Committee of the SSSC to give the opening speech. Prof. Zhu warmly congratulated the organizers of the International and Interdisciplinary Cooperation Forum.

 

Prof. Jianxu Wang, from the Institute of Geochemistry of the CAS, and Prof. Ping Wang, from Beijing Forestry University, led a session where guests introduced themselves and got to know each other better. About 20 Humboldians took the stage to share ideas and discuss their research interests and experience.

 

The round-table discussion focused on the topics of “international cooperation” and “interdisciplinary collaboration” and was hosted by Profs. Xu Zhang and Yu Nie. The participants had an active discussion, and Prof. Zhu shared his experience, pointing out that international cooperation requires building bridges of friendship, maintaining independence, acting honorably and having the courage to lead.

 

The forum was concluded by Prof. Fang Wang. This academic activity provided a platform for open and cooperative exchanges between scientific and technological personnel in many fields, including physics, chemistry, medicine, biology, earth science, environmental science and materials science. These will be important to lay a solid foundation to further strengthen scientific research cooperation.
