Abstract: The National Demonstration Center for Experimental Chemistry Education at Sun Yat-Sen University has actively implemented national science popularization strategies by leveraging its substantial academic resources and research advantages to continuously enhance science outreach initiatives. Through systematic exploration in content innovation, methodology optimization, integration of science and education, incorporation of ideological-political elements, and long-term development planning, the center has established a rigorous operational framework. This has resulted in the gradual formation of a standardized, sustainable science popularization system that significantly elevates outreach quality and expands societal impact. Furthermore, the center has conducted in-depth analysis of pathways and developmental directions for university-based chemistry science popularization, proposing the concept of building a “multi-stakeholder collaborative, comprehensive coverage” ecosystem for science communication, thereby effectively promoting high-quality development of science popularization practices.

Key words: Chemistry education, Science popularization, Scientific literacy, University practice, Innovative exploration
