“Coordinate and push forward the reform of the system and mechanism of education, science and technology and talents as a whole” ‘Establish a mechanism for adjusting the setting of disciplines and a model for training talents that is guided by scientific and technological development and the needs of the national strategy’ ”Promote the integration of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation ““Insist on authorizing the main body of employers and loosening the constraints for talents”...... The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reforms in a Comprehensive Way and Promoting Modernization in Chinese Style (hereinafter referred to as the Decision), which was considered and passed by the Third Plenum of the 20th CPC Central Committee, has made great contributions to building a system that supports comprehensive innovation. ), to build support for comprehensive innovation system and mechanism to make deployments, put forward “to promote education, science and technology talent system and mechanism as a whole reform”.
Experts interviewed by the “Economic Reference News” reporter said that scientific and technological innovation relies on talent, talent training relies on education, with the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change in-depth development, our country more and more need to take the road of independent training of talents. To open the channel from the strong talent, science and technology to industrial strength, national strength, and effectively transform the system advantage into a competitive advantage in science and technology, helping to achieve a high level of scientific and technological self-reliance.
Integrated deployment of “one” reforms
The report of the 20th Party Congress for the first time will be education, science and technology, talent into a part of the chapter to make a special deployment, and from the Communiqué of the Third Plenary Session of the Third Plenary Session, education, science and technology, human resources, institutional reform of a separate paragraph, put forward the need to implement in-depth the strategy of science and education, talent and innovation-driven development strategy, and to promote the reform of education, science and technology, human resources, institutional reform of the one system, to improve a new type of national system, to enhance the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system. The overall effectiveness of the national innovation system will be enhanced.
Minister of Education Huai Jinpeng pointed out at a press conference to introduce and interpret the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee that with the deep development of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change, the international competition around high-quality talents and scientific and technological heights has never been more intense. “This urgently requires us to take the road of independent training of talents and realize high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. To this end, the Plenary “decision” to deepen the education, science and technology talents system mechanism as a whole reform made an important deployment. A series of new deployments and new requirements fully reflect the profound insight into the nature and laws of innovation.” Huai Jinpeng said.
“Innovation-driven is essentially talent-driven, the growth of talent can not be separated from education, talent for the development of science and technology to provide intellectual bearing, science and technology to promote education to achieve modernization and development. Need to promote education, science and technology talents system mechanism as a whole reform, really open from talent strong, science and technology strong to industry strong, national strong channel.” Ding Minglei, a researcher at the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategy, said in an interview with reporters.
Innovative talent training model for the needs
Education is a major plan of the country and the party. Focusing on deepening the comprehensive reform of education, Huai Jinpeng pointed out that it is a systematic leap and qualitative change from a large country of education to a strong country of education, and the Decision emphasizes accelerating the construction of a high-quality education system, and coordinating the reform of the way of educating people, the mode of school running, the management system, and the guarantee mechanism.
“As industrial upgrading continues to deepen, the demand for talents in cross-cutting and emerging disciplines is also growing.” Huang He, Director of Development Planning Department of Jilin University, pointed out, “In this context, the ‘Strengthening the construction of basic disciplines, emerging disciplines, cross-disciplines and the cultivation of top-notch talents’ put forward by the Decision comes at the right time. It is suggested to focus on the frontier areas of discipline crossover, lay out the forward-looking directions and areas of discipline crossover such as digital humanities and life and health, use the catalyst of discipline crossover integration, build a pilot discipline crossover center, and cultivate new growth points of disciplines.”
Ding Minglei also believes that it is necessary to improve the whole chain of independent training system for innovative talents, establish and improve the mode of training that is oriented by the national strategic talent demand, pulled by the national major projects and major talent projects, and deeply involved in the efficient synergy of industry, academia and research. At the same time, we will increase the strength of joint cultivation of talents by schools and enterprises, and rely on enterprise R&D platforms to drive the cultivation of innovation teams.
Institutional reform to stimulate the vitality of science and innovation
Around the “deepen the reform of science and technology system”, the “decision” also made a series of deployments. The “decision” puts forward, “to promote the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation,” “to strengthen the status of the main body of enterprise scientific and technological innovation,” “to deepen the transformation of scientific and technological achievements mechanism reform” and so on.
The transformation of scientific and technological achievements in China has continued to advance in recent years. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in the year 2023, China signed a total of 950,000 technology contracts, and the turnover of technology contracts amounted to 6,147.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 28.6%.

However, Li Quanming, director of the Institute of Science and Technology and director of the Center for the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements of the Northern Polytechnic University, also pointed out that the current scientific and technological innovation achievements of some universities still have the problem of “no turn,” “will not turn,” “do not want to turn,” “turn bad,” and “turn bad. “ “turn bad” the reality of the dilemma.However, the director of the Institute of Science and Technology of the North Polytechnic University and the director of the Center for the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements, Li Quanming also pointed out that the current scientific and technological innovation achievements of some universities there is “no turn”, “will not turn”, “do not want to turn “ “turn bad” the reality of the dilemma.
“In promoting R & D results and industry to further effective connection, for universities and industry demand at both ends, not only to strengthen the potential results of systematic excavation and assessment, but also need to focus on key areas, and constantly in-depth understanding of the specific technical needs of enterprises, to promote the efficient interface between the two sides.” Yang Xiaoniu, director of Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said.
Wu Hailong, chairman of KU Silicon Valley Service Platform (Anhui) Co. Ltd, said in an interview that the transformation of scientific and technological achievements needs to give full play to the role of the market in the allocation of resources for scientific and technological innovation, especially with the in-depth development of scientific and technological innovation, the transformation of the resources and support needed to become more and more diversified. “It is necessary to accelerate the integration and interaction of 'government, industry, academia, research and gold taking' in a market-oriented manner, as mentioned in the Decision, 'accelerating the layout and construction of a number of proof-of-concept and pilot test and validation platforms', and focusing all kinds of resources to promote the transformation of achievements .” Wu Hailong said.
Strengthen the incentive mechanism for talents to untie
Deepen the reform of the institutional mechanism for talent development, the Decision emphasizes “the implementation of a more active, more open, more effective talent policy, improve the mechanism for the independent training of talent.”
“Talent incentives can not be separated from the establishment of a correct talent evaluation system, the key lies in the real establishment of innovative ability, quality, effectiveness and other oriented talent evaluation system.” Li Quanming said, “Talent evaluation not only needs to stand in a more long-term cycle to establish a long-term evaluation mechanism, but also needs to be for different types of different fields, to develop evaluation methods in line with the laws of science, so as to better play the effect of talent incentives.”
In Ding Minglei's view, playing the role of talent also needs to further untie the talent. “The Decision proposes 'allowing scientific and technological personnel to have greater autonomy in the distribution of proceeds from the transformation of scientific and technological achievements' and other content is intended to stimulate more subjective initiative of talents. By authorizing the main body of employers, adopt more diversified and targeted empowerment distribution mechanism, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of talents.” (New Look News Agency)
