On 11^th Oct，2015，the conference on the New Generation 10m Class Optical/Infrared Telescope was successfully held in Kunming,based on the project of the scientific distribution research of Chinese ground based astronomical major science equipments。

The conference was hosted by Department of Mathematical Physics，Chinese Academy of Sciences，and undertaken by Yunnan Astronomical Observatory and Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology。

About 30 representatives including three Chinese Academicians，Prof.Dingqiang Su，Prof.Nenghong Zhu and Prof.Xiangqun Cui，from National Astronomical Observatories (NAO)，Peking University (PKU)，Beijing Normal University (BNU)，Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP)，Nanjing University (NJU), University of Science and Technology of China (USTC)，Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO)，Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology (NIAOT) and Yunnan Astronomical Observatory (YNAO) were present at the conference。

During the conference，Prof. Xiangqun Cui introduced the conference background，and Prof.Dingqiang Su introduced the concept and optical design of the new generation 10m class optical/infrared telescope。Related experts respectively introduced the scientific application requirements of the 10m class telescope in fields such as galaxy cosmology，star physics，exoplanet exploration，and heatedly discussed the various questions concerning scientific requirements，telescope design plan，site selection and construction budget。

The experts attending the conference all agreed that it is very necessary and urgent to build the Chinese new generation 10m class optical/infrared telescope，and advise for the pre-research of the telescope project as soon as possible。

Before the conference was convened，advisory expert group made first-hand investigations in two western astronomical site candidates of Ali Tibet and Mount NONAME in Daocheng Sichuan，have had a better understanding of the Chinese astronomical site survey，and would make suggestions for the scientific distribution of the Chinese astronomical major equipments。

The Department of Mathematical Science，Chinese Academy of Sciences actively organized the mass academicians to carry out advisory research work centered on the national development major strategic issue，to provide scientific evidence and policy suggestions for national macro-decision and scientific guide to the public。

In Oct，2014，at the 11^th meeting of the 15^th standing committee from Department of Mathematical Sciences，Chinese Academy of Sciences，the advisory project on the scientific distribution research of the Chinese ground based astronomical major scientific equipments was approved to establish according to disposition from the advisory review committee in the department and to investigate the scientific distribution of the Chinese astronomical major scientific equipments in astronomical science drive, talent requirement, expertise team building and site survey etc。
