In December 2020, Kyoto University Shanghai Lab held “Shanghai-Kyoto Chemistry Forum 2020” online. Ten ICR professors and 9 professors from Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and ShanghaiTech University shared their findings followed by active Q&A sessions on the focused areas of New Materials, Energy Conversion. Our first online meeting was successfully convened. We will continue to explore effective sharing of resources and research collaborations.
