Concentrate superior forces to climb to the "peak" of innovation

In this year's government work report, scientific and technological innovation is a "high-frequency word", and a series of support policies highlight the government's determination and strength to implement the innovation-driven development strategy. On the afternoon of January 21, the Fifth Session of the Twelfth CPPCC Provincial Committee held a joint group meeting to make suggestions and suggestions on accelerating scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and making greater efforts to build a modern industrial system that is independent and controllable.

It is recommended to focus on the deployment of application-oriented basic research

"This year's government work report points out that it is very encouraging to accelerate the promotion of scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, deeply implement the innovation-driven development strategy, and concentrate superior forces to climb to the 'peak' of innovation." Yan Kai, member of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, chief expert of China State Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd., and director of the Science and Technology Committee of the 702nd Research Institute, said that it is necessary to persist in placing original innovation in a more prominent position, face the basic frontier, follow scientific laws, focus on the deployment of application-oriented basic research, and strive to achieve more original breakthroughs from 0 to 1.

"As a major province of science and education and a strong economic province, Jiangsu is fully equipped to focus on the needs of strategic emerging industries, mobilize all parties to invest in basic research, carry out in-depth original innovation work, and support an independent and controllable industrial system." In this regard, Member Yan Kai suggested that we should refer to Guangdong's practice and consider setting up a "major basic and applied research plan in Jiangsu Province", a joint fund project with the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and a joint fund with local or large enterprises. In addition, it is also necessary to attract high-level talents from all over the country to Jiangsu or cooperate with Jiangsu units from the policy level.

It is recommended to focus on large scientific devices and accelerate the construction of a comprehensive national science center in Nanjing

Strengthening basic research is an inevitable requirement for scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, and the country's major scientific and technological infrastructure, also known as large scientific devices, is a "sharp weapon" for giving birth to original innovation and cutting-edge scientific research achievements.

Zheng Limin, a member of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Nanjing University, said that through the construction of large scientific devices, it is possible to effectively promote basic frontier research and comprehensive cross-exploration, and provide an important platform and key means for the mainland's high-tech research and development and breakthroughs in key core technologies. Through the construction of large scientific devices, it can also provide the best scientific research platform for scientific and technological workers, so as to become a highland for condensing talents and attracting talents, promoting high-level international scientific and technological cooperation, and ultimately promoting the development of social economy, technology and industry.

"Hefei is a good example, it is one of the most densely populated cities in the country, after Beijing and Shanghai." Member Zheng Limin said: The impact of the construction of large scientific devices on Hefei City is obvious. Considering Nanjing's comprehensive advantages in science and education, it is recommended that our province focus on large scientific devices and accelerate the construction of Nanjing Comprehensive National Science Center.

Member Zheng Limin said that this particularly requires the strong support and escort of provincial and municipal governments at all levels, and it is necessary to formulate an efficient provincial and municipal linkage mechanism to steadily advance and ensure the smooth landing, construction, and open operation of large scientific devices.

Provincial Department of Science and Technology:

Jiangsu supports top scientists to lead the implementation of 10 cutting-edge major basic research projects

The relevant person in charge of the Science and Technology Department of Jiangsu Province said that by 2022, the proportion of the province's total social R&D investment in the regional GDP will reach about 3%, the output value of high-tech industries will account for 48% of the industrial output value above designated size, the number of high-value invention patents owned by 10,000 people will reach 14.6, and the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress will reach 67%.

In 2022, Jiangsu will cultivate strategic scientific and technological forces with higher standards supported by improving the efficiency of major science and technology platform construction. Seize the opportunity of the state to strengthen its strategic scientific and technological strength, fully promote the construction of Purple Mountain Laboratory, Gusu Laboratory, Taihu Laboratory, and Zhongshan Laboratory, introduce a special "talent scientific research special zone" policy, strive to undertake more strategic scientific and technological tasks, and actively strive to create a national laboratory (base). Actively strive for the pilot project of the reorganization of the national key laboratory in the province, plan to build a number of new national key laboratories, and pay close attention to starting the reorganization of the provincial key laboratory. Build a national biopharmaceutical technology innovation center with high standards, fully support the construction of the Nanjing base and Suzhou base of the third-generation national semiconductor technology innovation center, build a provincial-level technological innovation center around the layout of marine engineering, high-end medical equipment, advanced carbon materials, smart grid, etc., and accelerate the creation of a national technology innovation center.

For the members to put the original innovation in a more prominent position, the Provincial Science and Technology Department also responded in the report, in 2022, Jiangsu will enhance the original innovation ability as the goal, more practical measures to strengthen basic research. Strengthen the orientation of originality and demand, formulate long-term planning for basic research and applied basic research, explore long-term funding mechanisms that adapt to the characteristics of basic research, and actively strive for national basic discipline research centers. Support top scientists to lead the implementation of about 10 cutting-edge major basic research projects, explore joint funding with innovative leading enterprises, and jointly solve strategic and forward-looking major scientific problems. Increase the funding intensity of the provincial outstanding youth project, deploy and promote 150 key basic research projects, and strive to achieve a number of original results "from 0 to 1".
