The college has initiated the application process for the 2026 National Natural Science Foundation

To effectively promote the application process of the National Natural Science Foundation projects，effectively enhance the writing skills of college teachers in project application documents，On September 18th, the college invited Professor Zhao Zongbin from Dalian University of Technology to deliver a special lecture titled "Innovation as the Foundation, Expression as the Wings: The Multi-Dimensional Path to Success in National Natural Science Foundation Applications".Zhang Yong, the deputy director of the Technology Department, Hu Han, the vice dean of the College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and over thirty teachers from the college participated in this event. The meeting was chaired by Deputy Director Zhang Yong.

Deputy Director Zhang Yong first on behalf of the college extended a warm welcome to Professor Zhao Zongbin's presence，It also emphasized the significant supporting role of the National Natural Science Foundation in the construction of disciplines and the development of teachers. Professor Zhao Zongbin, drawing on his extensive experience in applying for and evaluating funds over the years, A systematic elaboration was conducted from multiple aspects such as "concise expression of scientific content", "optimization of logical presentation", and "refinement of text structure";By comparing and analyzing exemplary cases, He thoroughly analyzed the essential elements that a high-quality application should possess, It has been pointed out that "psychological strategies and aesthetic presentation" play a significant role in enhancing the acceptance of the review. During the interactive session, the participating teachers discussed issues of concern such as strategies for selecting interdisciplinary topics and presentation techniques for research foundations, We had a lively and in-depth discussion with Professor Zhao.

In addition, the college also arranged for young teachers to have one-on-one communication with Professor Zhao Zongbin, conduct a detailed discussion on the specific problems and doubts present in the application form. Many teachers have reported that through this consultation and communication, the numerous questions that had long troubled me have been effectively resolved, I have gained a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the writing of project application documents.
