Chinanews.com, Beijing, May 29 (Hao Lingyu) Li Xiaohong, President of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered a work report on the 29th at the 15th Academician Conference of the Academy, in which he talked about deepening the reform of the academician system.

He said that we must formulate a negative list of academician behaviors, zero tolerance for violations of academic ethics, violations of regulations and disciplines, and strictly improve the academician withdrawal system to eliminate negative factors that affect the construction of the academician team.

  Li Xiaohong said in the report that day that in recent years, the reform of the Chinese academician system has achieved a series of results in improving the selection and review mechanism, optimizing the discipline layout, implementing the retirement withdrawal system, and strengthening the construction of academic style.

The original intention of the academician system is to condense the elites of the scientific and technological circles to develop ideas and tackle difficulties for the country's economic and social development, and to inspire the vast number of scientific and technological workers to contribute their wisdom and talents to the country's prosperity and national rejuvenation.

  He proposed that it is necessary to deeply grasp the urgency of deepening the reform of the academician system, and dare to face the crisis and respond to the challenges.

Over the years, the Academy of Engineering has conscientiously implemented the requirements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on improving and deepening the academician system and deepening the reform of the academician system. The construction of the academician team has achieved remarkable results, but some long-standing outstanding problems have not been fundamentally resolved.

  Regarding the existing problems, Li Xiaohong cited the imbalance in the discipline and regional structure, the policy of academician co-election needs to be further optimized, the academician management mechanism needs to be further improved, and the influence of the academician title carrying non-academic factors has not yet been fundamentally resolved. Academicians are invited to participate in various activities unrelated to their academic fields, and phenomena such as unreasonable platforms and facades still occur from time to time. Some academicians are hired in two or more units and are "running academicians" who have been criticized by the society. The phenomenon has been repeatedly banned.

The misconduct of a very small number of academicians has damaged the reputation and image of the academician group and caused very bad effects.

  "We must also be aware of the various problems that currently exist in the academician system. Some are historical, some are mechanism, and some are corroded by bad social trends, but the most critical issue is ideological. It is conceptual. We must have the courage to admit that we are humans and not gods." Li Xiaohong emphasized that we must dare to face problems, face deficiencies squarely, strengthen self-reliance, strengthen the sense of urgency to deepen the reform of the academician system and the sense of imminent crisis, dare to bite hard bones and dare. We are involved in dangerous beaches and daring to cross deep waters. We should give full play to the guiding role of the academician system in gathering talents and build up a team of academicians that serve the needs of the country and the people.

  Li Xiaohong further proposed several measures to deepen the reform of the academician system.

The first is to further exert the leading role of the academician team in the self-reliance of science and technology to stimulate innovation; second, to eliminate the influence of non-academic factors, and to maintain a clean scientific research environment; the third is to avoid the abuse of academician titles and strengthen the management of the academician team; The entrance to the selection of academicians will be well secured and the quality of the academician team will be improved.

  “We must further strengthen our own system construction and implementation, strengthen communication and coordination with relevant departments, and promote the establishment of a mechanism to ensure scientific research energy and time of scientific research personnel. Academicians must also strengthen self-discipline, strengthen team management, and focus more on scientific research. Focus on this professional field and consciously resist being invited to participate in evaluation, appraisal, platform and other activities that have nothing to do with your academic profession." Li Xiaohong said.

  On the issue of avoiding the abuse of academician titles, Li Xiaohong said that we must establish a corresponding management system, further regulate academician part-time jobs, try our best to remove the interest binding attached to academician status, and promote coordination with relevant departments not to use academic functions, interests, and resources that are not related to academics. Linked to academician titles.

Don't be an "almighty academician", resolutely reject names or titles that have no substantive significance, and don't accept the so-called "double-appointed academician" and similar titles, consciously resist all bad habits, and deserve the solemn national emblem on the academician certificate.

"We must formulate a negative list of academician behavior, zero tolerance for violations of academic ethics, violations of regulations and disciplines, and implement measures such as suspending nomination rights and review rights within a certain period of time. Strictly improve the academician withdrawal system and eliminate negative factors that affect the construction of the academician team "Li Xiaohong said.

  On the issue of the entrance gate for good academicians' co-election, Li Xiaohong emphasized that we must give full play to the guiding role of academician co-election, close the entrance for good academicians, and vigorously break the "group culture" and "circle culture" in the selection of academicians, and eliminate non-academicism. Under the influence of factors, accept social supervision and maintain the purity of the academician title.

Broaden the channels for the recommendation of academician candidates, strengthen nomination responsibilities, and lean toward experts who have long been rooted in the front line and devoted themselves to learning.
