The Chinese Society of Computational Mathematics has decided that starting from 2005, the "National Higher Education Computational Mathematics Annual Conference" will be held every four years, taking place in September or October. The most recent conference was successfully held in Dalian from October 17-20, 2005, in conjunction with the 8th National Youth Computational Mathematics Seminar. The conference was organized by the Higher Education Working Committee of the Chinese Society of Computational Mathematics and hosted by Dalian University of Technology. Ten renowned scholars from various universities and research institutes, including Academicians Zhongci Shi and Qun Lin, were invited to deliver special reports. The Feng Kang Prize was awarded at the opening ceremony to Yunqing Huang, Qiang Du, and Wei Cai, who also delivered special academic presentations.

During the conference, the 2nd Outstanding Young Computational Mathematicians Paper Competition was held, with awards presented at the closing ceremony. First prizes were awarded to Sihong Shao from Peking University, Xia Ji (female), and Shipeng Mao from Zhengzhou University. Second prizes went to Yun Xu (female) and Huipo Liu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science.

Additional activities included the editorial board meeting of the "Journal of Higher Education Computational Mathematics," the "Information and Computational Science Series" editorial board meeting by the Science Press, and the Computational Mathematics Teaching Seminar organized by the Teaching Research Working Committee of the Chinese Society of Computational Mathematics.

In total, 263 official delegates, including 106 students and 157 teachers and other researchers from 69 colleges and research institutes, attended the conference. This included five scholars from Hong Kong, the UK, and the USA with part-time positions at mainland institutions. The conference featured 15 major reports and 119 group reports. Thanks to the collective efforts of all parties, the conference was a resounding success.
