Since China's founding novel coronavirus pneumonia has made remarkable achievements in science and technology in China. The vast numbers of scientists and technicians have made great contributions to the summit and made brilliant achievements. They have made important contributions in coping with the new crown pneumonia epidemic situation and protecting the lives and health of the people. China has opened a new course of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. We should take Xi Jinping's new socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics as the guide, take the new development stage into consideration, implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, promote the development of high quality, persist in the core position of innovation in the overall situation of our modernization, and comprehensively improve the ability of scientific and technological innovation. We will widely stimulate the creative potential of society and shape new development advantages by relying on scientific and technological innovation. Li Keqiang pointed out that we should focus on the major strategic needs of the country, speed up the tackling of key core technologies, promote major scientific and technological projects, and promote mechanisms such as "showing leadership" so that those who are willing to innovate, dare to innovate and can innovate have the opportunity to show their skills. We will continue to strengthen basic research, respect scientific laws, promote the organic combination of free exploration and problem orientation, maintain the determination and patience of "grinding a sword in ten years", strengthen long-term stable support, guide enterprises and social capital to increase investment, deepen the reform of basic education, and strengthen the construction of basic disciplines in Colleges and universities. Create a good scientific research ecology that encourages innovation and tolerates failure, support researchers to be down-to-earth and work for a long time, and create more original achievements "from 0 to 1". Li Keqiang said that it is necessary to strengthen the dominant position of enterprise innovation and promote the in-depth integration of industry, University and research. Formulate more inclusive policies to encourage innovation and promote the agglomeration of innovation factors to enterprises. We will promote the integration and innovation of upstream, middle and downstream industries, large, medium and small enterprises, strengthen the protection and application of intellectual property rights, and open up a fast lane for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Li Keqiang pointed out that greater efforts should be made to break the red tape restricting innovation and creation, deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system, and effectively untie and reduce the burden on scientific researchers. Establish and improve a sound management and supervision system, implement the responsibility system, and ensure that the delegated powers and responsibilities can be connected and managed well. We will improve the evaluation and reward mechanism for science and technology. Cultivate a soil and environment conducive to innovation, so that more mass entrepreneurship and innovation entities can take root, blossom and bear fruit. Promote more young talents to come to the fore. Deepen international scientific and technological cooperation and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results in expanding opening up. Han Zhengzheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, presided over the meeting.
