On February 18th, 2017,
SKLEOC greeted its first Beijing-Tianjin Organic Chemistry Postgraduate
Academic Symposium. This symposium evolved from the Postgraduates Academic
Symposium that was jointly sponsored by Peking University and Beijing Institute
of Chemistry. Prior to this symposium, Peking University-Beijing Institute of
Chemistry has held 10 annual postgraduate academic symposiums.
This year, Tsinghua
University and Nankai University were honored to join this symposium. Organized
by the State Key Laboratory of Elemento-organic Chemistry (SKLEOC), the first
Beijing-Tianjin Organic Chemistry Postgraduates Academic Symposium was convened
in the lecture hall of Building A of Tianjin-Nankai University Union Tower. The
symposium had more than 300 attendants,, including Prof. Jinpei Cheng, Prof.
Qilin Zhou, Prof. Zhenfeng Xi, as well as postgraduates and faculty members from
the Organic Chemistry Research Institute of College of Chemistry and Molecular
Engineering of Peking University, Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua
University, Key Laboratory of Molecular Recognition and Function, School of the
Institute of Chemistry CAS and the State Key Laboratory of Elemento-organic
Chemistry (Nankai University).
This symposium included both oral
presentations and poster presentations. All oral presenters and sessions hosts
were graduate students.
16 students: Zhikun Zhang, Jun
Yang, Jiangling Shi, and Wangyang Ma from Peking University; Puguang Chen, Qian
Zhang, Haoyi Du, and Li Zhang from Tsinghua University; Songlei Li, Gengwu
Zhang, Teng Jia, and Qi Yang from Beijing Institute of Chemistry; Maolin Li, Helve
Sun, Tianjiao Qiao, and Peixing Chen from Nankai University, delivered academic
reports for this symposium. Attending faculty members put forward their
valuable suggestions for the students’ scientific research. Poster presentation
session featured 56 posters. The students displayed rich chemical achievements
and exchanged ideas extensively with other attendees. The symposium served as a
favorable platform for the academic exchange and training of postgraduates in
Beijing and Tianjin.
This symposium selected eight oral
presentation awards and sixteen poster awards. Not only did the prize winners
receive prize money and molecular models, but also won a certificate of merit
autographed by Prof. Qilin Zhou, Prof. Zhenfeng Xi, Prof. Qinghua Fan, and Prof.
Chao Chen representing each of their respective institutes.
At the end of the symposium, Prof. Qinghua Fan, Prof. Chao Chen, Prof. Zhenfeng
Xi, and Prof. Qilin Zhou successively made concluding remarks on this
symposium. In addition to giving full
recognition to this symposium’s significance in promoting academic exchange of
postgraduates in Beijing and Tianjin and improving the comprehensive quality of
postgraduates, the four professors further encouraged students to think
further, learn from one another, and exchange ideas actively, so as to accomplishmore
academic achievements.
