Xiaobao Xu is a leading figure in the strategic development of interdisciplinary scientific research in China. As a key contributor to the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Xu has been instrumental in shaping the framework and future direction of the Department of Interdisciplinary Sciences. Their seminal work, “Establishment, development and prospect of the Department of Interdisciplinary Sciences of National Natural Science Foundation of China” (2022), provides a comprehensive analysis of how interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for breakthroughs in fields ranging from global positioning systems to integrated circuits and national security. Although a relatively recent publication, this paper has already garnered attention for its forward-looking vision, laying out a roadmap for fostering innovation at the intersection of traditional disciplines. Xu’s contributions are pivotal in guiding funding policies and research priorities, ensuring that China’s scientific community remains agile and globally competitive. By championing the integration of diverse scientific domains, Xu is helping to cultivate the next generation of researchers who will tackle complex, real-world challenges through collaborative, cross-disciplinary approaches.
