Beijing, May 5 (Reporter Sun Zifa) The Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Academy of Sciences) and the Chinese Academy of Engineering announced on May 31 that the co-selection of academicians of the two academies in 5 was officially launched on the same day, with a total of 31 co-opted academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2023 and no more than 2023 co-opted academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 79.
According to the 2023 co-opted guidelines for academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the 79 co-opted places are tilted towards key fields and basic disciplines, emerging disciplines and interdisciplinary disciplines urgently needed by the country; Preference for researchers who have made outstanding contributions to national defense and national security; Tilt towards scientific researchers who undertake major national scientific research tasks, major scientific and technological infrastructure construction and major projects and make outstanding contributions. Among them, there are 13 students from the Department of Mathematical Physics, 12 from the Department of Chemistry, 14 from the Department of Life Sciences and Medicine, 12 from the Department of Geosciences, 9 from the Department of Information Technology Science, 13 from the Department of Technical Sciences, and 6 in specially recommended fields.
According to the 2023 co-optation guidelines for academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the total number of academicians co-opted this time is no more than 90, including 10 from the Department of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, 10 from the Department of Information and Electronic Engineering, 10 from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, 10 from the Department of Energy and Mining Engineering, 10 from the Department of Civil, Water Conservancy and Construction Engineering, 8 from the Department of Environment and Light Textile Engineering, 10 from the Department of Agriculture, 12 from the Department of Medicine and Health (including 2 from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine), and 6 from the Special Channel. The four places are used to support candidates who have worked in remote western areas (Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia 4 provinces and autonomous regions and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps) for more than 9 years. At least 20 place in each department of the Chinese Academy of Engineering is used for emerging interdisciplinary fields, and at least 1 places in the whole academy are used for candidates for expert teams who undertake major national projects, major scientific research tasks and major scientific and technological infrastructure construction and make outstanding contributions.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences emphasized that in 2023, the co-election of academicians has established a co-optation supervision system that combines self-discipline and other disciplines, and specially formulated a negative list for academician co-optation, methods for preventing intercession and greeting, and codes of conduct for recommended persons, etc., to strengthen the sense of responsibility for consciously resisting improper behavior and prevent unhealthy tendencies in the co-optation process.
The Chinese Academy of Engineering has studied and revised a series of institutional documents such as the "Implementation Measures for the Co-election of Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering", further improved the supervision system, and effectively controlled the "entrance gate" of the academician team.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering also simultaneously launched the co-selection of foreign academicians in 2023. The Chinese Academy of Sciences requires that when recommending foreign academician candidates, attention should be paid to the distribution of disciplines, majors, countries, etc., and due attention should be paid to candidates from large developing countries and small and medium-sized countries with strong scientific and technological strength, as well as countries along the "Belt and Road".
The number of co-opted foreign academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2023 is no more than 24. The consent of the foreign academician candidate should be obtained when requesting nomination; It is necessary to proceed from the reality and overall situation of China's scientific, technological, economic and social development, pay attention to the candidates' major, country and age on the premise of adhering to standards and conditions, and strengthen attention to candidates from countries along the "Belt and Road".
It is understood that the academician system is an important system established by China to establish respect for knowledge, respect talent orientation, and condense outstanding talents to serve the country. Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering and foreign academicians are co-elected every two years. (End)
