On January 4, 2024, the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences organized the launch meeting for the "Research on Common Basic Issues in the Integration of Complex Systems" project. Attendees included the expert group leaders from NSAF Joint Fund, namely Academician Changpu Sun, Researcher Libin Fu, Project Leader Jie Liu, key members of the project team, and representatives from the collaborating research unit, the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics. The meeting was presided over by Researcher Libin Fu, the Associate Dean of the Graduate School in charge of administrative affairs.

During the meeting, Researcher Jie Liu delivered an opening presentation for the project, providing a brief overview of the achievements from the first and second phases of the NSAF Center project. He emphasized the basis for the current project (third phase), highlighting its initiation grounded in "major demand-driven," "complex physical conditions," and "complex research objects." Jie Liu provided detailed insights into the four common basic research issues of the current project and analyzed five distinctive features and innovations, including the close integration of fundamental research with internal institute demands.

During the discussion session, Academician Changpu Sun pointed out that there is no need to solely pursue the quantity of publications; rather, he expressed the hope that the project team would produce distinctive and breakthrough representative results. He emphasized the importance of addressing fundamental common issues and engaging in substantial collaboration with various units within the institute. Academician Sun encouraged leveraging the strengths of the Graduate School in fundamental research and establishing strong partnerships with different units to contribute to the overall development of the institute. Subsequently, the project team and representatives from collaborating research units engaged in in-depth discussions about the next steps in the research plan and specific collaboration details. The atmosphere of the meeting was positive, laying a foundation for the orderly progression of the project.
