International Joint Research Center for Supramolecular Chemistry and Catalysis was established in 2018, based upon chemistry and chemical engineering related interdisciplinary background of Dalian University of Technology, State Key Lab of Fine Chemicals, and 111 Project of Fine Chemicals. Aiming at the major national strategic needs and major market demands, the International Joint Research Center utilizes the new concept and methodology of supramolecular chemistry for the multidimensional benign iteration of molecules, functions, processes, products, and environments, and organizes the product-oriented international cooperation and technical innovation. The International Joint Research Center constructs “One Center, Three Platforms, Twelve Teams” under the help of foreign cooperators such as University of Amsterdam, leading the development of novel interdisciplinary “Supramolecular Chemistry & Fine Chemicals”. The current director of International Joint Research Center of China side is Prof. Chunying Duan (winner of National Science Fund for Outstanding Young Scholars, the Dean of Zhangdayu School of Chemistry); the director of Dutch side is Prof. Joost Reek (University of Amsterdam, the academician of KNAW); the vice dean and permanent secretary is Prof. Tiexin Zhang (State Key Lab of Fine Chemicals).
