Innovation is the key to the future, and reform is the key to the fate of the country.
Grasping the internal logic of innovation and reform, General Secretary Xi Jinping has a vivid analogy: "If scientific and technological innovation is compared to the new engine of our country's development, then reform is the essential ignition system to ignite this new engine."
On June 24, the National Science and Technology Conference, the National Science and Technology Award Conference, and the General Assembly of Academicians of the two academies, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly summarized the important experience of the new era of scientific and technological development of "eight adherence", which is precisely the focus of the reform: "adhere to the deepening of reform to stimulate the vitality of innovation. ".
"The field of science and technology is the one that needs constant reform the most." Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, has taken the field of science and technology as an important aspect of comprehensively deepening reform, and planned to promote the reform of the scientific and technological system in a comprehensive manner, make multiple breakthroughs, and develop in depth.
Only the reformer advances, only the innovator is strong, only the reform and innovation wins. Since the new era, the reform of the science and technology system to open up a new situation, the full flow of innovative sources, innovative achievements continue to emerge, the development of new quality productivity is booming, China among the ranks of innovative countries. This historic leap, comprehensive deepening of reform is a strong support and key variable.
Overall Planning
Innovation is a systematic project, reform must be comprehensively deployed
The waves of the Dadu River are rolling, and the silver wires of the transmission towers are being pulled to the other side of the river.
10 days of intense operation, Jinsha River upstream - Hubei ± 800 kV UHV DC transmission project across the Dadu River section of the conductor exhibition operation is finally completed.
Sheng Yuqiang, the construction team leader from State Grid Sichuan Power Transmission and Distribution Company, has participated in five UHV projects, witnessing China's UHV technology from "starting from scratch" to "leading the world". Now, almost all international standards in the field of UHV are developed by China.
Behind the lighting of all the lights is the joint efforts of thousands of units and the participation of hundreds of thousands of people, which epitomizes the magnificent practice of the new national system.
"There is no unit, only positions", the government, the market, the community organic combination, collaborative research, focusing on doing big things - General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the "give full play to the advantages of the new type of national lifting system ", leading the deep-seated reform of the science and technology system, giving birth to one milestone scientific and technological achievements: looking at the firmament, the moon back sampling, Beidou network; overlooking the earth, high-speed rail speeding, shield sudden advancement; exploring the deep sea, 10,000 meters of deep dive, seabed mining ......
Innovation is a systematic project, "Reform is not enough to engage in only one or a few links, it must be comprehensively deployed and unswervingly pushed forward."
In the mid-spring of 2023, a reform was in the spotlight: the formation of the Central Science and Technology Commission (CSTC) and the reorganization of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). "Strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee on science and technology, and promote the construction of the national innovation system and the reform of the science and technology system" has become the key focus of this important deployment.
Reform as a game, both need to look at the overall situation of the top-level design, but also need to focus on the precise fall.
Key areas anchor the sharpness of reform. "The development of new quality productivity, must further deepen the reform in a comprehensive manner". The deeper the reform, the more surging the innovation. Open the mechanism blockage, crack the transformation problem, the new quality of productivity "nutrients" more abundant.
China's high-speed magnetic levitation train ran out of 600 kilometers per hour, is the reform to stimulate the vitality of innovation a vivid footnote. Enterprises led the implementation of the attack, integrated around the application of the results of repeated breakthroughs in technology, aerodynamic resistance reduced by 17%, energy savings of more than 30% ...... high-speed magnetic levitation train has been included in the planning of the transportation network in many places, will be redefined to the world of the "speed of China".
The 143 reform tasks of the Implementation Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Science and Technology System have been completed, and the three-year program for reforming the science and technology system is being implemented one after another, and reforms can only be carried out when a mountain opens up a road or a bridge meets the water.
Focus on the key
Further open the channel between science and technology and economic and social development
"Scientific research and the economy is not closely linked to the problem, is a major chronic problem for many years."
Crack scientific research, economic "two skins", General Secretary Xi Jinping clear methodology: "to solve this problem fundamentally rely on reform" "reform has only one goal, that is, to further open up the channel between science and technology and economic and social development. There is only one goal of reform, and that is to further open up the channel between science and technology and economic and social development.
Open the channel, the main body of innovation is the "power source".
"General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the importance of strengthening the status of enterprises as the main body of science and technology innovation. This is regarded as a key initiative to deepen the reform of the science and technology system and promote the realization of a high level of scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, as well as to promote the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements.
Dongting Lake, the breakthrough dragon. Extreme 77 hours of rescue and relief, merging more than 10 hours faster than the expected time. Behind, the power of science and technology is indispensable.
Along the embankment water surface, unmanned measuring ship shuttle back and forth, probe the underwater terrain and water velocity, for rescue and embankment construction to provide key water parameters.
This unmanned measurement boat, from Shanghai Huaji Navigation Technology Company.
Huamei Navigation is located in Shanghai Beidou Xihongqiao base, focusing on strengthening the main position of enterprise science and technology innovation reform objectives, and promote the layout of innovation elements around the needs of enterprises. Enterprises can seamlessly dock with relevant key research institutions without leaving the park.
Since the "14th Five-Year Plan", the proportion of R&D investment by enterprises in society as a whole has exceeded 77%, and the status of the main body of scientific and technological innovation has been further emphasized.
The innovation platform is the "gas pedal" to open the channel.
China Innovation Challenge has been held for 8 consecutive sessions. In 2023, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, the main competition, 13 major technology needs to attract 52 teams on the spot to unveil the challenge. "In the past, enterprises could not buy the technology they wanted, and researchers could not find buyers for their achievements, so this national event accurately matches industrial demand and technology supply." Chen Shanfu, deputy director of Ningbo Science and Technology Bureau, shared the changes.
Where the demand for innovation is, the reform will follow up to where. China Innovation Challenge is a vivid practice of the reform of the organization of scientific and technological research, adopting the "list + fight" approach to promote the accelerated transformation of scientific research results. 8 years of the tournament brought together more than 34,000 items of enterprise innovation needs, signed more than 5,500 contracts of intent.
The reform of the organization of major projects continues to deepen, and the Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan proposes the implementation of the system of "unveiling the list of commanders". This is also the first time that the "list of commanders" is written into the five-year plan, and the creativity of more than 90 million scientific and technological workers can be more fully stimulated.
The transformation and application of scientific research results is a world problem. The hot exploration of the point into a surface, accumulation of thick into potential, to solve the problem, looking forward to China's program.
Systematic Advancement
Deepen the education, science and technology personnel system and mechanism of reform as a whole
On June 24, the National Science and Technology Conference, the National Science and Technology Award Conference, the General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "we should enhance the concept of system, and deepen the reform of education, science and technology personnel system and mechanism as a whole".
For the first time, the report of the 20th CPC National Congress combined education, science and technology, and talents into one part for deployment. The three are internally consistent and mutually supportive, and should be "organically combined and integrated to form a multiplier effect to promote high-quality development".
Science and technology system reform, put in education, science and technology, talent "trinity" framework, a progressive logic is clear and powerful: scientific and technological innovation depends on talent, talent training depends on education.
Talent for innovation - "talent is the first resource of innovation" "innovation drive is essentially talent-driven", convergence of first-class innovation talent, in order to condense first-class scientific and technological achievements.
"We can't let endless statements and approvals delay the energy of scientists!"
General Secretary Xi Jinping's words spoke to the hearts of science and technology workers, and more reform has set the direction.
"The application form for the National Key Research and Development Program has been reduced from 57 pages to 11 pages." Wang Jun, an associate researcher at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Resources (IGSR) in Beijing's Olympic Village Science and Technology Park of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), put a thin pile of statements into a file bag.
The statement becomes thinner, the sense of obtaining becomes real. 4 years 3 rounds of scientific researchers to reduce the burden of special action, to reduce the law to increase vitality.
Through the "broken four only" competition, Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, "local experts" Cui Fenggao rated on the researcher, rounded out the wish for many years.
Once "a ruler measure to the end" talent evaluation model, the shift to "each in their place, each show their talents.
Education for talent - "to create education to cultivate creative talents, to create talents to create an innovative country."
Not long ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote a letter to Yao Zhizhi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Tsinghua University, hoping that Prof. Yao would "lead us to continue to explore the independent training mode of innovative talents" and "build a high-level base for talent cultivation and scientific and technological innovation".
In Tsinghua Park, the seeds of talent training model reform have already broken ground and grown.
"Keeping young people curious and full of creativity is what we need to do most." Prof. Yao Zhizhi said, "In 'Yao Class', students can have a wide range of exposure to various research work according to their interests. A class or a project may become the starting point for deep research."
Since the new era, around the independent cultivation of innovative talents, the "Battling Plan" has entered the 2.0 stage, and has built 288 bases for cultivating outstanding students in basic disciplines; the "Strong Foundation Program" has been launched and implemented over the past four years, with 39 pilot universities focusing on the needs of the country's major strategies. The program has been implemented for four years, 39 pilot universities focusing on national major strategic needs, selecting and cultivating talents ......
Drums sound, day marching and month levy, from the realization of the goal of building a strong scientific and technological country, only 11 years.
"We have to make this strategic goal a reality step by step with the firm determination and tenacious will of 'sharpening a sword in ten years', striving only for the best, working hard, and taking one step at a time." General Secretary Xi Jinping's words are resounding.
The wind of reform is strong, the tide of innovation is more surging, China's huge ship will certainly in the Chinese-style modernization comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country, the national rejuvenation of the great cause of the magnificent voyage, breaking the waves forward.
