The newly revised Law of the People's Republic of China on Scientific and Technological Progress (hereinafter referred to as the Law on Scientific and Technological Progress) adds the content that scientific and technological personnel should vigorously promote the spirit of scientists and abide by ethical norms; it emphasizes giving full play to the role of talents as the first resource, and writes May 30 of each year as the National Day of Scientific and Technological Workers into law; and adds a new chapter on international scientific and technological cooperation. These provisions are specific measures to implement the party's innovation theory, and also provide legal compliance for the China Association for Science and Technology to deepen the governance of scientific and technological communities in the new development stage and serve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance. Wang Jinjin, member of the party group of the China Association for Science and Technology and secretary of the Secretariat, said in an interview with a reporter from Science and Technology Daily recently.
Science and technology associations are community organizations composed of scientific and technological workers, with cross-departmental, cross-industry, cross-regional and even cross-border characteristics. In the implementation of the Law on Scientific and Technological Progress, the China Association for Science and Technology, as the "home of scientific and technological workers", regards "deepening the governance of scientific and technological communities and gathering magnificent forces for high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance" as an important work direction.
Vigorously carry forward the spirit of scientists and cultivate excellent study style
"Scientific achievements are inseparable from spiritual support. The spirit of scientists is an integral part of the spiritual genealogy of chinese communists. Looking back at history, generation after generation of scientists have made outstanding contributions to the development of the mainland's scientific and technological undertakings, and have condensed the spirit of scientists with practical actions in the practice of scientific salvation, national service, rejuvenation of the country, and strengthening the country. Wang Explained.
In 2019, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Opinions on Further Promoting the Spirit of Scientists and Strengthening the Construction of Work Style and Study Style, which elaborated on the spirit of scientists. The revised Law on Scientific and Technological Progress further clearly stipulates that scientific and technological personnel should vigorously carry forward the spirit of patriotism, innovation, truth-seeking, dedication, coordination, and educating scientists, abide by academic and ethical norms, abide by professional ethics, and be honest and trustworthy.
Carrying forward the spirit of scientists and cultivating a good study style not only requires scientific and technological workers to practice what they preach, but also requires the joint efforts of the whole society to create a clean and healthy scientific research environment and create a good atmosphere of respect for science and talents.
Wang Jinjin said that the organization of the Association for Science and Technology has always regarded the promotion of the spirit of scientists as a powerful grasp of ideological and political guidance, and has silently done the work of meticulous people's hearts. The first is to improve the mechanism of "scientists giving party lessons" and organize activities such as the investigation of the national conditions of strategic scientists and the study of scientific and technological leading talents. The second is to implement the "Science Master Famous School Publicity Project", in the past 10 years, mobilizing 17 universities such as Tsinghua University to create and rehearse 18 scientist-themed stage plays. The third is to dig deep into the rich carrier of the "spirit of scientists", rely on the former residences of scientists such as Qian Xuesen and Zhu Kezhen, build a spiritual education base for scientists, promote the construction of the Museum of Chinese Scientists, and continue to implement the "Old Scientists Academic Growth Data Collection Project". The fourth is to carry forward the excellent study style and inherit the action. Support more than 220 colleges and universities, and mobilize more than 100,000 young students to participate in the creation and dissemination of study style works. Support colleges and universities to establish 159 "study style conservation studios". The fifth is to vividly tell the touching stories of scientific and technological workers, excavate and publicize more than 6,000 "most beautiful scientific and technological workers", and the sense of value identity of scientific and technological workers has been greatly improved.
Do a good job in talent contact services, strengthen talent recommendation and incentives

"One of the highlights of the revised Science and Technology Progress Law is that May 30 of each year is written into law as the National Day of Science and Technology Workers, and national science and technology workers have their own festivals in the law." Wang Jianjin said, "This is a great encouragement to scientific and technological workers, the science and technology association system is very exciting, since the approval of the State Council, 2022 is already the 6th National Science and Technology Workers Day." According to reports, the theme of this year's National Day of Science and Technology Workers is "Striving for Innovation, Self-Reliance and Self-Reliance," and a series of volunteer service activities for the people will be carried out through science and technology, the ties with grass-roots front-line scientific and technological workers will be strengthened, practical work will be done for scientific and technological workers, and a good atmosphere will be created to greet the victory of the party's 20th National Congress.
"The Law on Scientific and Technological Progress also clearly stipulates that we should adhere to the strategic position of talent leading development, give full play to the role of talent as the first resource, create a social environment of respecting and caring for talents, and make institutional arrangements; encourage organizations or individuals at home and abroad to set up science and technology awards, providing legal support for the establishment of science and technology awards by national societies on the mainland." Wang said.
"The China Association for Science and Technology fully implements the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the Central Talent Work Conference, implements the Law on Scientific and Technological Progress, and regards the realization of the value of scientific and technological talents as the greatest value of the Association." Wang Jinjin said that the first is to formulate the "14th Five-Year Plan" talent work plan and opinions of the China Association for Science and Technology, comprehensively deploy talent work, and encourage the vast number of scientific and technological workers to be the vanguard of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. The second is to do a solid job in the contact service of strategic scientists, scientific and technological leading talents and innovation teams, young scientific and technological talents, and outstanding engineers. Strengthen the research of the identification index system for strategic scientists to help build a national strategic talent force. Promote the construction of a database of clinical case results, incorporate clinical case results into the types of representative works and apply them on a pilot basis in the evaluation of professional titles, and simultaneously develop a case library of traditional Chinese medicine and a case library of scientific research instruments to help the evaluation and reform of scientific and technological talents. The third is to optimize the commendation and reward of scientific and technological talents, actively participate in the establishment of the National Engineer Award, strengthen the recommendation of young scientific and technological talents, and optimize the selection mechanism of the China Youth Science and Technology Award.
