The Advanced Innovation Center for Soft Matter Science and Engineering focuses on soft matter systems as its research subject. By applying multidisciplinary integration spanning chemistry, chemical engineering, materials, biology, and environment, it addresses critical scientific and technological challenges in energy, environment, and life science fields. The Program adopts an integrated science-engineering approach for talent cultivation, offering five primary academic tracks: Chemical Engineering and Technology, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Environmental Science and Engineering, and Bioengineering.

The discipline of Chemistry achieved significant milestones: it was granted the authority to award Master's degree in 1996 and Ph.D degree in 2000, recognized as a key discipline of Beijing Municipality by Beijing Municipal Education Commission in 2001, gained the authority to award Ph.D degree in its primary discipline and established a postdoctoral research station in 2006,  and was designated as a key primary discipline of chemistry in Beijing Municipality in 2012. The discipline of Chemistry entered ESI global Top 1% in March 2018 for the first time, and ESI global Top 100 in May 2019 for the first time.
