Abstract: National Demonstration Center for Experimental Chemistry Education (Nankai University) was one of the first national demonstration centers selected in 2006. Over the past decade, guided by the principles of “strengthening the foundation, emphasizing integration, highlighting innovation, cultivating ability and improving quality”, the center has adhered to the development of students. It is committed to cultivating high-level chemistry talents with solid foundational knowledge, proficient experimental skills, diligence in thinking, and adaptness at innovation. This paper introduces the reform measures undertaken by the center over the past five years in the construction of an experimental teaching system, enhancing the teaching capabilities of the faculty, and promoting open exchanges. It aims to provide a reference for experimental teaching in higher education institutions.

Key words: Chemistry experiment, Demonstration center, Teacher training
