Reducing burdens and empowering young scientific and technological talents
2023-03-21
Continuously expand the scientific and technological leading talent team and first-class innovation team. Youth is the future of the motherland, the hope of the nation, and the future of innovation. Young scientific and technological talents are a new force for China to cope with international scientific and technological competition and achieve high-level self-reliance and self-reliance. They are also an important human resource for strengthening basic research and solving key technical issues from the source and bottom, and are also a source of motivation for building a technological power and innovating China. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a number of significant scientific and technological innovation achievements have emerged in China: the "Heavenly Palace" scenic spot, the "Chang'e" flying to the moon, the "Jiaolong" entering the sea, and the "Beidou" navigation. Behind them, there is a surge of youthful strength with an average age of less than 40 years. According to the Research Report on the Development of Science and Technology Human Resources in China (2020), by the end of 2020, China's science and technology human resources have exceeded 110 million people, including nearly 80% of young talents aged 39 and below. In the future, their characteristics and trends of youth will become more evident. Practice has fully proven that young scientific and technological talents possess enormous innovation potential. They are the most innovative group in China's basic research talent team, with strong energy, strong innovation vitality, and more sensitive perception and capture of new things. They can carry both heavy responsibilities and heavy responsibilities. If we reduce the burden and empower them at their growth juncture, thicken the "soil" for innovation and creation, and provide richer "nutrients", it may shorten the talent development cycle and promote more innovation and create excellent results. However, it should also be noted that young scientific and technological talents engaged in basic research are at the initial stage of personal growth and career development. They are not only facing pressure from various aspects such as learning, work, and life, but also facing some difficulties, such as fewer opportunities to emerge, narrow growth channels, frequent evaluation and assessment, and heavy transactional burdens. Currently, some universities generally adopt the academic bidding competition system of "go or go", and many young scientific and technological talents bear too many academic and administrative tasks for this purpose; Individual universities and scientific research institutions have even adopted the KPI key performance indicator assessment method, which has worn away the passion and innovation motivation of some young researchers. In addition, basic research is mostly cross professional, cross industry, and cross disciplinary, time-consuming, slow to achieve results, and has a high risk of failure. It requires researchers to invest more resources, consume more energy, and manpower, which inevitably makes them wonder and cringe at "research". To support young scientific and technological talents in carrying out major tasks in basic research, it is necessary to reduce their burdens and empower them, cultivate a fertile land for growth, and expand the broad space for innovation and creation. In this way, they can sit on the "cold bench" with peace of mind, conduct free exploration and original innovation, create more "from 0 to 1" or even "from 1 to N" leaps, and let more innovation and creativity flow in competition. First, we should build a new space for systematic and high-level growth and deepen platform empowerment. Relevant departments are planning
