Abstract: The National Demonstration Center for Experimental Chemistry Education (Wuhan University) adheres to the concept of strengthening the foundation while fostering innovation. Since 2018, the center has dismantled the barriers of secondary disciplines and established experimental courses at the primary discipline level. A three-tier platform for experimental education—comprising basic, comprehensive, and scientific research training—has been developed to cultivate talents with strong foundations, broad perspectives, high quality, and innovative thinking. The center has enhanced team building, curriculum reform, the synergy between teaching and research, ideological and political education, and entrepreneurship education through initiatives such as young faculty forums, multi-role assignments, integration of full-time and part-time faculties, and the integration of science and education as well as industry and education. Emphasizing safety, sharing, and exemplary guidance, the center has achieved significant social benefits.

Key words: National demonstration center for experimental chemistry education, Experimental teaching system, Top-notch innovative talent cultivation
