Abstract: In the context of increasing interdisciplinary integration, the cultivation of international talents in chemistry at engineering institutions must adapt and innovate. The chemistry discipline at Harbin Institute of Technology leverages its unique geographical advantages to address this need. Based on the connotation of international talent development within the framework of the “the Belt and Road” Initiative, it aims to establish a comprehensive knowledge system for interdisciplinary chemistry innovation, cultivate the ability to solve complex technical problems, and enhance communication skills that allow for the coordination of multiple interests from a global perspective. By focusing on four key objectives-faculty competitiveness, teaching influence, disciplinary appeal, and student competence — this approach advocates a multicultural education model that integrates both internal and external perspectives through a “dual-track” strategy of “bringing in and going out.” This practice offers valuable insights for the cultivation of international chemistry talent at engineering institutions in the new era.
