I. Introduction to the Forum

Since the founding, Hainan University has always tightly followed national strategies. The old generation of scholars have been working together to create brilliance for the southern part of China with a sincere heart, whose groundbreaking contributions in natural rubber and tropical agriculture have strongly promoted China's national defense and the economic and social development of the tropical zone. In the new era of all-round opening up, the new initiative of building a high-level free trade port has brought the new generation of Hainan University to a new historical node. General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly pointed out that "we should support Hainan University to create world-class disciplines", which has given Hainan University a new significant historical mission. In order to better implement this historical mission and serve the national strategic needs and the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, Hainan University has organized four consecutive International Young Scholars Forums, through which a large number of outstanding young scholars from home and abroad have joined the team of the new Hainan University and become the backbone of the university's leapfrog development.

The free trade port facing the world urgently desires talents from all sides, and Hainan University is thirsty for young people who are capable of going global. For this reason, we intend to continue to hold the 5^th International Young Scholars Forum, and sincerely invite outstanding young scholars with different academic backgrounds from home and abroad to the island of Hainan with the azure sea and blue sky, green trees and white sands, and to the free trade port which is in full swing with high speed development, to set up their career in new Hainan University and to make achievements in the new era.

The forum is intended to carry out academic discussions and cooperation on multidisciplinary academic frontiers and hot issues, including "Free Trade Port Development and Institutional Innovation", "Ecological Civilization", "Culture and Tourism", "Southern Propagation and Tropical High-Efficiency Agriculture", "Marine Science and Technology", "One Health", and "Information Technology", seven sub-forums in seven research areas.
