Provincial Lab | 大咖云集，“广以智脑”助力广东省实验室建设

1月16日，化学与精细化工广东省实验室举行第二届理事会成立大会，省实验室第二届理事会正式成立。汕头市委副书记、市长曾风保担任化学与精细化工广东省实验室理事会理事长；中科院院士、中山大学教授陈小明担任化学与精细化工广东省实验室第二届主任；中科院院士、中山大学校长高松担任化学与精细化工广东省实验室学术委员会主任。中国科学院院士、广东以色列理工学院校长龚新高担任理事会副理事长；广东以色列理工学院副校长林丹明担任理事会成员。

化学与精细化工广东省实验室是广东省委省政府布局建设的唯一面向化学化工领域的核心省实验室。在随后举行的产学研“面对面”对接活动期间，来自广东以色列理工学院、中山大学、华南理工大学和汕头大学等知名高校的院士、专家们从成果转化、人才吸引、机构与企业的沟通合作等方面，提出了一份份启迪思维的建议，为企业送上科技创新的”大礼包”。

中国科学院院士、广东以色列理工学院校长龚新高说：“‘工业立市、产业强市’‘三新两特一大’这些定位和发展思路，是根据汕头市当前发展状况制定的。其中在‘三新’里面，比如说新能源、新材料、新一代电子信息技术，一定要有很强的科技含量，才能在国内、国际的市场站稳脚跟。在汕头有两所高校——汕头大学和广东以色列理工学院，还有化学与精细化工省实验室，一定会为汕头实现‘工业立市、产业强市’起到积极推动作用。”

以科研创新为基石，助力产业革新。作为理工科研究型大学，广东以色列理工学院具有世界一流的教学科研团队，重视基础研究与成果转化，并持续推进校企合作与产学研交流：开展校企合作交流对接会、共建对口产业实习基地、举办精细化工产业培训班……未来，广东以色列理工学院将继续与企业及各科研院所深化合作，积极实现科技成果转化，为汕头乃至广东的产业发展提供有力支撑。
