Abstract: The cultivation of innovative talents is the eternal theme of higher education. This article introduces our efforts in building the education systems to cultivate innovative chemical talents by strengthening the functions of academic research and promoting the integration of science and education. Specifically, we integrate academic research into the undergraduate training process by optimizing the curriculum structure, constructing practice system for scientific research and building a strong mentor team for the undergraduates. With these reforms, we hope to enhance the students’ critical thinking and practical innovation ability and cultivate outstanding chemistry talents.

Key words: Student cultivation, Academic research, Integration of science and education, Undergraduate chemistry students, Innovative talents
