On January 9, 2026, the School of Microelectronics at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) successfully hosted the 2026 "Global Scientists" Forum at Chongwen Zhiyuan. The forum brought together ten distinguished scholars from leading universities and research institutions across China, the United States, Europe, and South Asia to engage in in-depth exchanges and discussions on cutting-edge topics in the field of integrated circuits.

The forum featured two parallel sessions, "Devices" and "Circuits," moderated by Professor Xin Cheng, Dean of the School of Microelectronics, and Professor Xiaoguang Liu, respectively. Over twenty faculty representatives, including Professor Quan Pan, Associate Dean of the School, and Associate Professor Fengwei An, participated in the forum both online and offline.

At the outset of the forum, Dean Cheng Xin extended a warm welcome to the attending scholars on behalf of the School. He introduced the rapid developments at SUSTech and the School of Microelectronics in faculty development, talent cultivation, scientific research, and industry-university-research collaboration. Dean Cheng noted that strategically located in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, a key national strategic region, SUSTech, despite its relatively short history, has rapidly grown into a high-level research university with international influence. He sincerely welcomed global talents to join and contribute to the construction and development of the microelectronics discipline.

Subsequently, Professor Liu Xiaoguang provided a systematic introduction to the School, covering our faculty strength, teaching system, research layout, and platform construction. He emphasized that the School consistently takes original innovation in integrated circuit science and technology as its mission, is committed to cultivating high-quality microelectronics professionals, and continuously improves the quality of independent talent cultivation by deepening the integration of science and education and using high-level research to nourish teaching, thereby providing solid support for establishing the Greater Bay Area as a world-class talent and innovation hub.

During the academic sharing session, the attending scholars delivered excellent keynote reports on various frontier directions, including microelectronic devices and integrated circuit design. The atmosphere was lively, with scholars and faculty members engaging in in-depth and constructive discussions on relevant academic issues. Through this forum, the participating scholars gained a more comprehensive and intuitive understanding of the development trajectory, research environment, and cultural atmosphere of SUSTech and its School of Microelectronics, expressing strong interest in potentially joining or collaborating with the institution in the future.

The "Global Scientists" Forum is a high-level talent recruitment brand event meticulously organized by the School of Microelectronics. It aims to build a platform for outstanding scholars from around the world to exchange ideas, foster interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation, and optimize the School's faculty structure while enhancing its research capabilities. To date, the School has successfully held six forums, recruiting nearly 20 outstanding scholars to join its faculty, achieving remarkable results.

The successful conclusion of this forum further enhanced the School's influence within the global academic community and injected new vitality into its continuous efforts to build an internationalized faculty and achieve high-level disciplinary development. The School of Microelectronics will continue to align with the world's technological frontiers and national strategic needs, welcoming talents from all over to jointly shape the future of integrated circuit industry and academic development.
