Abstract: The rapidly evolving landscape of scientific research, marked by interdisciplinary integration, offers promising opportunities for addressing complex scientific problems. As the advancements in modern science and the breakthroughs in core techniques put forward new requirements for the training of high-level compound talents, this paper focuses on the construction of a composite talent cultivation model within the graduate education of chemistry. By analyzing the main challenges encountered during the interdisciplinary process, this study draws from practical cases within the Laboratory for Functional Polymer Materials and Devices in the Department of Chemistry of Renmin University of China. It proposes a core educational philosophy of being led by demand, adopting tailored teaching strategies, and integrating humanities and science. Through collaborative ventures across disciplines between chemistry and materials science, agronomy, forestry, medicine, engineering, and archival science, this paper explores a new way to cultivate compound talents with comprehensive interdisciplinary competencies.
