On the morning of 3th, May, 2013, the launching ceremony of the Research Institute of Fundamental and Interdisciplinary Science was held in the Science Hall. Ning Bin, the president of Beijing Jiaotong University made a speech and inaugurated the Research Institute of Fundamental and Interdisciplinary Science with Ma Zhiming, the academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Feng Qibo, the dean of the School of Science, presided over the inauguration ceremony. Shen Yan, the chairman of the first academic committee, the academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the deputy director of the national natural science fund committee, Guo Lei and Chen Yongchuan, the academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hong Tao, the Chinese Academy of engineering, and Jin Ho Kwak, the South Korean Academy of Sciences attended the launching ceremony as well as heads of many departments such as Office of the President, Science and Technology Department and Personnel Department and parts of students and teachers of the School of Science.
 
 
 
Mr Ning pointed out in his speech that the major achievements in science and technology depend on the intersection between different disciplines increasingly. And as a multiversity with strong academic background, Beijing Jiaotong University always insists on promoting multidisciplinary and coordinated development and put the “new interdisciplinary emerging, basic subjects making breakthroughs” as the important strategy of building the first-rate discipline layout. And he stressed that a series of important scientific research achievements have been produced in our University.
The esatablishment of the the Research Institute of Fundamental and Interdisciplinary Science is an event of great importance in the field of discipline construction and scientific research of our university and it is also one of the important measures of promoting reform and development, innovation of science and technology management system and mechanism. Of course, it will inject new power and vitality for us to build the distinctive world-class university.
 
 
Ma Zhiming, the academician Chinese Academy of Sciences, addressed the ceremony, pointing out that, in the more than 300 years of science development, from the beginning of the early philosophy scientific research, our human gradually deepen their understanding about the natural phenonmenon and master the rule of science and technology.
During this period, we classify disciplines and correspondingly education is classified according to different majors and fields.  After entering Into the 21st century, it was found that the development of modern science and major scientific and technological achievements, is increasingly dependent on cross-integration between different disciplines, many influential scientific and technological achievements are made at the point of interaction and intersection of several disciplinaries.
      With the great advantage in the field of basic subjects and technology subject, many characteristics disciplines of Beijing Jiaotong University have reached the domestic or international leading level, which laid a good foundation for building the research platform of interdisciplinary. We have been thinking several questions such as, how to integrate these high quality resources to build a high level of academic exchange platform and how to keep the high quality teachers focusing on conquering important scientific problems, so under this background, the research institute was founded.     
 
 

  Then as the chairman of the first academic committee, Shen Yan, the academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, deputy director of the national natural science fund committee, introduces the basic responsibility of the academic committee on behalf of all the academic committee of the institute.
 
 
        After the ceremony, the first session of the academic committee meeting of the research institute of Fundamental and Interdisciplinary Science was held in the School of Science in Beijing Jiaotong University which deeply elaborated the plan of construction in the next five years.
    In order to strengthen developing our leading subjects such as basic science and information technology, management, transportation and some emerging disciplines such as life science and technology, several outstanding schools which engaged in the foundation and interdisciplines research over a long period of time such as School of Science, School of Electronic and Information Engineering, School of Computer Science and Technology, School of Traffic and Transportation and School of Economics and Management start and make up the Institute of Fundamental and Interdisciplinary Science. At the moment, there are three research centers set up here, referring to the random structure and data science research center, the combination and the optimization research center, life information and interdisciplinary science research center. This institute aims at building team-based personnel training platform which crosses disciplines and colleges, and promoting the cultivation of inter-disciplinary talents who are needed urgently in our society as well as lying solid foundation for building our university into the world-class university with distinctive characteristics.
