截止目前，在各位校领导的多方协调和大力推动以及学校各职能部门和学院的关心支持下，研究所自2010年创建、2012年启动以来，基本完成了初期建设目标。未来将继续围绕建所方案和建设目标，秉承校领导的指示—“研究所的发展要考虑短期目标，更应该看重长远目标，筹建研究所时要考虑建立一个长效机制，以利于研究所的长远发展”，“做好顶层设计，形成制度保障, 探索国际化办学、人才培养和科研协作创新机制，为学校建设世界一流大学的国际化措施提供经验和示范作用”，分阶段、按计划实施各项建设工作：
With the coordination and promotion of SYSU’s leadership as well as the importance attached and support given by SYSU’s functional departments and schools, LIFM has accomplished its preliminary goals from its establishment in 2010 and inception in 2012 till now. In the future, LIFM will continue to follow leadership’s instructions – « in developing LIFM, we should not only consider short-term targets but pay more attention to long-term goals; a long-term and effective mechanism should be established for LIFM’s long-term development » and « we should have a sound top-level design to offer institutional guarantee and develop an innovation mechanism for internationalized school running, talent training and collaboration on scientific research, providing SYSU with experience and model in building a world-class university with internationalized measures » — and accomplish various tasks according to its development plan and development goals.
(一)、建设初期（2011-2015）目标完成情况和实施成效
(I) Target Fulfillment and Performance in Phase I (2011-2015)
在学校的大力支持下，研究所的筹建工作基本初具规模，已完成高水平国际科学家聘任、研究方向布局、仪器平台建设，实现中外科学家和研究人员的互派互访，实现研究生、博士后的联合培养，维持研究所仪器平台、科学研究和人才培养的稳定运行，为研究所的发展奠定基础。
With SYSU’s support, LIFM has shaped up and completed such preparations as engagement of high-quality international scientists, definition of research directions, establishment and maintenance of an instrument platform, exchanges and visits of Chinese and foreign scientist and researchers, joint training of graduates and postdoctoral researchers as well as stable running of scientific research and talent training, laying a solid foundation for its development.
1. 一期建设期间学校投入经费共计2700万，全部用于硬件条件建设。目前已基本建成一个设备先进、功能完善、校内外共享的公共仪器平台，成为化学院最先进、最开放的大型仪器平台，有力地支撑了化学一级学科的建设和高水平科学研究。同时装备了近600平方米具有国际先进水平的仪器、实验和办公用房，保障Lehn功能材料研究所外籍PI团队的科研运行，有力支撑了研究所的前期科研工作。研究所日常科研业务、人才培养、管理运行目前全部依赖自筹经费维持，包括Lehn教授“广东省引进领军人才”项目（500万元）、外专引智项目（76万元）、“111”国家引智项目，研究所青年教师、博士后、博士生获得的国家自然科学基金项目、国家博士后基金项目、国家自然科学外国青年学者基金项目、国家和地方的留学生资助项目，以及研究所中方教授获得的各类国家和地方基金项目。目前大型公共仪器平台和实验室已投入正常运行，研究所外籍教师招收的博士生、博士后超过20人，中外科研人员互访工作、研究生联合培养全面展开。但鉴于国家当前财务政策要求，完全由科研基金项目支撑研究所公共平台和实验室的管理运行、外籍导师研究生联合培养的方式难以长期维持。
During Phase I, SYSU has invested RMB 27 million in hardware. So far, a public instrument platform with advanced equipment and complete functions for sharing on and off campus has taken shape, serving as a large instrument platform of the School of Chemistry, which is the most advanced and open one supporting the development of first-level disciplines regarding Chemistry and high-quality scientific research. Furthermore, a zone covering an area of nearly 600 square meters integrates a lab, which is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, and an office, supporting the scientific researches run by LIFM’s foreign PI team and the preparations for scientific research. At present, the regular scientific research, talent training, management and operation of LIFM are all financed by itself, using the funds granted to Prof. Lehn through Guangdong Province: Program for Leading Talents Introduction (RMB 5 million) and Program for Foreign Experts Introduction (RMB 760,000) and 111 Project; NSFC Funds, National Postdoctoral Science Funds, NSFC Research Fund for International Young Scientists and other national and local funds for international students won by LIFM’s young instructors, postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students; and various national and local funds conferred on LIFM’s Chinese professors. So far, a large public instrument platform and labs have been put in operation; LIFM’s foreign supervisors have enrolled more than 20 doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers; and mutual visits between Chinese and foreign researchers as well as the joint training of graduates have been carried out comprehensively. However, according to the requirements prescribed by the current national financial policies, it is difficult to maintain the management and operation of the public platform and labs as well as the foreign supervisor-graduate joint training for a long term with the funds for scientific research only.
