This weekend, the "First Global Frontier Science 50 Think Tank Forum" with the theme of "Global Vision, China's Cornerstone, Frontier Crossing, and Strategic Front" was held in Chengdu.
The first forum brought together more than 450 people, including the world's top scientists, academic and industrial experts and scholars, to discuss the development trend and future prospects of the global frontier scientific field from different perspectives. It is reported that this think tank forum is a public welfare nature, and a group of outstanding award winners and heavyweight experts in the interdisciplinary fields of artificial intelligence and information technology, biological science, energy technology, aerospace science, and humanities will be invited to attend every year to discuss macro topics such as the sustainable development of human destiny and future scientific and technological change and innovation.
The world's top scientists were unveiled
Seek scientific and technological innovation, the sea of stars
Today, with the global surge in scientific and technological innovation, the mainland is actively promoting scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation at home and abroad to meet future challenges and promote sustainable development. "New quality productivity" presents the characteristics of disruptive innovation technology-driven and high-quality development, leading development through the integration of scientific and technological innovation resources, relying on digital innovation and artificial intelligence platform innovation drive is the key, bringing new opportunities and hopes for leading the comprehensive revitalization of the industry.
In this context, the "Global Frontier Science 50 Think Tank" was officially unveiled, which as a global academic alliance gathering the world's top scientists and scholars, will bring new thinking to the formation of "new quality productivity" driven by "cutting-edge scientific and technological innovation".
At the opening ceremony, experts and scholars from all walks of life delivered keynote speeches on the current problems faced by human society, and their speeches brought new perspectives.
Chang Jin, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, "At present, the paradigm of scientific research has undergone profound changes, the transformation cycle of basic research has been significantly shortened, and the international scientific and technological competition has moved forward to the basic frontier. ”
Lei Chaozi, vice president of the China Association for the Promotion of Industry-University-Research Cooperation and former director of the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Education, said that the purpose of the forum "global vision" means to transcend national boundaries and cultural restrictions, comprehensively understand and respond to the trends and challenges of global scientific and technological development, "China's cornerstone" emphasizes China's important role in global scientific and technological development, "frontier crossing" is the key and breakthrough point of scientific and technological innovation, and "strategic front" means that it is necessary to foresee the future and formulate a long-term scientific and technological development strategy.
Li Ming, Founding Director of the UNESCO Higher Education Innovation Center, Secretary-General of the International Network Education Institute, Chair Professor of Southern University of Science and Technology, and Vice Chairman of the Global Frontier Science 50 Think Tank, said that scientific and technological change and industrial revolution have brought great challenges to higher education, and the future model of "artificial intelligence + higher education" needs to form a consensus, rely on multilateral partnerships, organize higher education stakeholders to work closely together, adopt an effective governance framework, and continuously promote the innovation of policies and best practices.
