Strengthen basic research {123567}
At the above-mentioned press conference, Wang Zhigang pointed out that strengthening the dominant position and role of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation is a very important task in scientific and technological work, and stressed that enterprises should participate in major top-level design and major decisions of science and technology, guide enterprises to increase R & D investment, and see how large enterprises play a leading and supporting role, Provide opportunities, ecology and guarantee for the innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises.
At the same time, enterprises should also be the main force and new force in basic research.
Among the more than 860 national key R & D plans approved in 2021, more than 680 were led or participated by enterprises, accounting for 79%. 76% of China’s R & D investment in the whole society was invested by enterprises. But Wang Zhigang also pointed out that in terms of structure, there may be less basic research, and there is not enough balance between different types of enterprises. “We hope that more enterprises will devote more efforts to scientific and technological innovation. In this regard, the state will encourage the addition and deduction of R & D expenses, and bring tangible benefits to enterprises in scientific and technological innovation.
”
According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics recently, China’s basic research expenditure last year was 169.6 billion yuan, an increase of 15.6% over the previous year.
In this regard, Wang Zhigang pointed out that basic research problems can be condensed through engineering and technology, or generated through exploration. In terms of basic research itself, it is a very important link in the whole scientific and technological activities and must be strengthened. In particular, China’s science and technology is developing, and the more it moves forward, the more it enters the stage of expanding the knowledge boundary, expanding the technology boundary, and pursuing the achievement principle and application principle. At this level, the better we do basic research, the stronger our initiative and foresight in scientific and technological development.
Wang Zhigang further said that basic research is no longer a matter of individuals, but as an important part of national strategy and science and technology strategy, there should be top-level design and system deployment; And increase investment; We should respect the characteristics and laws of basic research; We should strengthen basic research around people.
\u3000\u3000 “Many basic research methods and research paths are uncertain, the success rate is not high, and the time is relatively long. So what kind of people can engage in basic research? They need to be able to stand loneliness and have academic skills. To really raise basic research questions, it is that this question belongs to the scope of basic research and from which perspective. We also need to strengthen services and change the way The evaluation of basic research should be different from other scientific research activities. ” Wang Zhigang pointed out.
