China News Service, September 27. According to the website of the Ministry of Education, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of Go deep.

Quantitatively, in the past ten years, colleges and universities have won more than half of the three national science and technology awards; in terms of quality, colleges and universities have won 60% of the first prizes of the National Natural Science Award and 90% of the first prizes of the National Technology Invention Award in the past ten years. It is the main force of my country's basic research and the source of major scientific and technological breakthroughs.

  Over the past ten years, the Ministry of Education has successively organized and implemented a number of major strategic actions such as the "Innovation Capability Improvement Plan", "Independent Innovation Action in Key Fields", and "Basic Research Everest Plan", as well as rural revitalization, the Belt and Road Initiative, artificial intelligence, and carbon neutrality. A series of special action plans for scientific and technological innovation such as blockchain, blockchain, etc.; organized colleges and universities to build a number of national key laboratories and national engineering (technology) research centers, actively deployed and built cutting-edge science centers, and integrated major platforms for tackling key problems. 688 key laboratories of the Ministry of Education and 448 engineering research centers of the Ministry of Education have formed a scientific and technological innovation system of colleges and universities with clear levels, reasonable structure and strong support. strong support.

  1. Strong support for national self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology

  Technological self-reliance and self-improvement is the foundation of a country's prosperity and security, and we must firmly grasp the lifeblood of technology in our own hands.

In the past ten years, the number of three national science and technology awards won by colleges and universities as the first completion unit has exceeded 1,000.

Quantitatively, in the past ten years, colleges and universities have won more than half of the three national science and technology awards; in terms of quality, colleges and universities have won 60% of the first prizes of the National Natural Science Award and 90% of the first prizes of the National Technology Invention Award in the past ten years. It is the main force of my country's basic research and the source of major scientific and technological breakthroughs.

  2. Independently cultivate a large number of scientific and technological innovation talents

  Colleges and universities are the main fronts for talent training and agglomeration, as well as an important part of the national strategic scientific and technological strength, and undertake the dual mission of scientific and technological innovation and talent training.

The Ministry of Education continues to deepen the integration of science and education, strengthen scientific research and education, and the group of strategic scientists and leading talents in colleges and universities has grown steadily.

In the past ten years, more than 350 academicians of the two academies have been newly added in colleges and universities. In the past three new academicians of the two academies, the proportion of colleges and universities has exceeded 50%; more than 1,500 new recipients of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars have been added. Nearly 70% of the total number of fund recipients.

According to the survey statistics, in 2021, more than 1 million graduate students will participate in the research and development projects of science, engineering, agriculture and medicine in colleges and universities, doubling from 2012.

National development depends on talents, and national rejuvenation depends on talents.

Over the past ten years, scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities has strongly supported the independent training of innovative talents, provided the source of living water for the construction of national strategic talents, and accumulated important forces for high-quality economic and social development.

  3. Vigorously promote the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements

  Only when scientific and technological achievements are transformed into real productivity can the motive force of innovation-driven development be truly released.

In the past ten years, the number of university patent transfer and licensing contracts has exceeded 65,000, and the amount of patent transformation has increased from 820 million yuan to 8.89 billion yuan, an increase of nearly ten times.

There are two key factors that determine the effectiveness of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. The quality of the scientific and technological achievements itself is the internal cause, and the policy incentive measures are the external cause.

In recent years, the Ministry of Education has combined with the actual situation of colleges and universities, and started from two major factors, on the one hand, to improve the quality of achievements and strengthen the source supply of scientific and technological achievements. Several Opinions on Transformation and Application", take the lead in adjusting the patent subsidy incentive policy, promote the implementation of the pre-application evaluation system, and reverse the bad orientation of "emphasizing quantity over quality" and "emphasizing application over implementation" of patents in universities; on the other hand, increasing policy incentives and adopting Various measures have been taken to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.

Increase the incentives for the transformation of achievements and stimulate the enthusiasm of scientific researchers.

At present, colleges and universities generally increase the reward ratio to 70%, and some colleges and universities have a reward ratio of more than 90%, accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in colleges and universities into real productivity.

In the past ten years, the quality of supply of scientific and technological achievements in universities and the efficiency of transformation have been significantly improved, providing strong support for high-quality economic and social development.

  4. Actively serve regional innovation and development strategies

  Colleges and universities are the talent centers and innovation highlands of regional development, as well as the innovation source and power engine of regional development.

Over the past ten years, the Ministry of Education, 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have jointly deployed and constructed 229 collaborative innovation centers jointly built by provinces and ministries, and strengthened in-depth cooperation with leading enterprises in the industry and local governments to provide industry and regional development. Provide strong support.

Universities provide comprehensive services and are deeply integrated into the construction of international science and technology innovation centers in Beijing, Shanghai, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which strongly supports the Chengdu-Chongqing region and Wuhan to accelerate the construction of science and technology innovation centers with national influence.

In the past ten years, colleges and universities have given full play to their advantages in location and subject talents, through innovation leadership, strengthening the role of radiation and accelerating the accumulation of scientific and technological resources, and helping to build regional innovation growth poles.

  In the next step, the Ministry of Education will continue to promote high-level and high-quality free exploration in colleges and universities, while strengthening organized scientific research to make new and greater contributions to high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
