Features: The history of science shows that scientists are not only discoverers of knowledge but also synthesizers of knowledge. Great thinkers from all over the world, both ancient and modern, create through the synthesis of knowledge, synthesize in the discovery of knowledge, and in the process of synthesis, organize and systematize known knowledge according to internal logical relationships, identify contradictions and gaps, and then conduct observation and experimental proof to derive new principles, supplementing and refining the knowledge system. This is the process of scientific development. At this forum, speakers elaborated on this principle in an extensive and profound manner based on the facts of new developments in science and technology. This is undoubtedly of practical reference value for the majority of scientific and technological personnel.
Today, science and technology have advanced to the point where new disciplines are constantly emerging, traditional boundaries between disciplines are continuously disappearing, and interdisciplinary integration and penetration have become the main trend of development, leading to the comprehensive and holistic development of disciplines. The construction of interdisciplinary innovation platforms has thus emerged, forming a new high-level structure with vertical and dynamic connections. To implement the national "11th Five-Year Plan" for scientific and technological development, achieving interdisciplinary convergence and building innovation platforms has become an irreversible phase.
