I. Introduction

Focusing on the global frontier and major scientific issues in supramolecular new substance creation, the Workshop aims at the world sci-tech frontier, economic progress, major national needs, and people’s life and health by relying on the industrial advantages of the Yangtze River Delta, research strength of Zhejiang University and the innovative mechanism of ZJU-Hangzhou Global Scientific and Technological Innovation Center (HIC). It is expected that the Workshop will develop into a world-class center for the basic research and frontier research on the creation of new supramolecular substances. The Workshop, led by the Department of Chemistry, Zhejiang University, with the participation of multiple disciplines and solid scientific research, has introduced Prof. HUANG Feihe as Executive Dean. Prof. HUANG is a top world-class scientist, member of the Discipline Review Group of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council, scholar of Cheung Kong Scholar’s Program, recipient of National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars and National Ten Thousand Talents Program as well as the chief scientist of New Material Creation Convergence Research Program of Zhejiang University. The Workshop mainly studies the creation of new assembly primitives, the development of new assembly strategies and materials.
