Abstract To address the urgent national strategic demand for high-level interdisciplinary talents,the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Beijing Institute of Technology(BIT) has systematically implemented a reform in top-notch innovative talent cultivation centered on the “Chemistry+” philosophy since 2016.Grounded in BIT’s distinguished defense heritage and disciplinary strengths,this study establishes a three-dimensional educational framework empowered by “National Defense-Driven·Integrated Innovation·Collaborative Education”. The approach reinforces mission-driven learning through a tripartite mechanism integrating values,knowledge,and practice;breaks disciplinary silos via a four-dimensional matrix pathway encompassing undergraduate-graduate articulation,specialized innovation classes,dual-degree programs,and micro-majors;and deepens industry-education integration through a four-pronged practical ecosystem involving curriculum innovation,national key laboratory resource utilization,elite competition engagement,and university-enterprise collaboration.Practice demonstrates that this system significantly enhances talent development quality,creating a distinctive,replicable “Chemistry+” paradigm for cultivating top-notch innovators.It provides valuable insights for similar chemical education reforms in higher education institutions.
