On Sep. 24th, 2019, Tianjin University hosted the inaugural High-End Forum on Atomic and Close-to-atomic scale Manufacturing (ACSM) – China's first dedicated symposium on atomic-scale manufacturing technologies. On Dec. 2nd-5th, 2021, the China Association for Science and Technology organized the 1st Young Scientist Symposium on ACSM, marking the first national-level academic event targeting early-career researchers in this field. The 2nd Young Scientist Symposium was successfully convened at Southern University of Science and Technology from May 23th-24th, 2024.
The newly unified Frontier Forum on Manufacturing Paradigm III (formerly separate "High-End Forum" and "Young Scientist Symposium") represents strategic integration of academic resources. This consolidation establishes a systematic platform for cross-generational collaboration, formally initiating the Manufacturing Paradigm III Research Series to advance disruptive innovation across fundamental and applied research dimensions.
