Recently, many members of the Jiu San Society expressed that they must work hard and innovate in their own scientific research work, and contribute to the new journey of China's innovative country construction and socialist modernization.

  Pan Jianwei, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Jiu San Society, chairman of the Anhui Provincial Committee, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and executive vice president of the University of Science and Technology of China, said that the current period of historical intersection between a new round of scientific and technological revolution and China’s innovation-driven development strategy, especially in the current international In the context of the complex and changeable environment and China’s coming into the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally presided over a symposium for scientists, which fully demonstrated the importance of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on scientific and technological innovation, and promoted innovation-driven development and accelerated the pace of technological innovation. Pointed the way.

  He pointed out that in addition to working diligently and striving to innovate in their own scientific research work, the majority of members of the Jiu San Society should also take up the responsibilities of democratic parties in participating in and discussing politics, advising and making suggestions for the promotion of technological innovation.

At the same time, we should also strengthen the work of popular science and strive to create a social atmosphere that upholds science and encourages innovation.

  Based on his own work, he said that the approach of the Beijing Graphene Research Institute is "two-wheel drive", one wheel is driven by the will of the country, and the other is driven by the market.

The "two-wheel drive" model helps to balance reality and the future, and steadily promote the development of graphene and other high-tech industries.

  Qian Feng, member of the Central Committee of the Jiu San Society, deputy chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and vice president of East China University of Science and Technology believes that the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century.
