In the next five years, we will support 20 major scientific and technological achievements transformation projects of central colleges and universities in Sichuan every year, and the supporting funds for each project shall not exceed 5 million yuan in principle. On May 20, Sichuan Science and Technology Department held a meeting to deploy the newly launched action of “gathering sources and prospering Sichuan” for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of central colleges and universities in Sichuan. This is the first time that Sichuan Province has carried out strong project support for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of central colleges and universities in Sichuan.
According to the work deployment of the provincial government, the first implementation of the “gathering sources and prospering Sichuan” action will focus on 53 central scientific research institutes in Sichuan, including China Nuclear Power Design Institute, and 6 Central Universities in Sichuan, including Sichuan University and University of Electronic Science and technology; Focus on the new generation of information technology, intelligent equipment, rail transit, clean energy and other advantageous innovation fields of colleges and universities in Sichuan and the advantageous and characteristic industries in Sichuan.
“In the future, these projects will be based on the innovation and industrial foundation of the province, accelerate the forward-looking layout of strategic emerging industries and future industries, and promote the transformation of the central government’s innovative resource advantages in Sichuan into Sichuan’s high-quality development advantages.” The relevant person in charge of Sichuan Provincial Department of science and technology said that the project will promote the integration and innovation of Central Universities and institutions in Sichuan and Sichuan enterprises, help the implementation, transformation and industrialization of major scientific and technological achievements in Sichuan high-tech zones at all levels, promote the building of industrial clusters and promote industrial transformation and upgrading.
According to the deployment, this batch of projects will select major high-quality projects around the level of achievements, intellectual property rights and expected social benefits. The shortlisted project achievements need to have key core technologies to achieve breakthroughs, or reach international advanced or China leading or above; Fill the gap in the industry and realize domestic substitution for import; Disruptive technological achievements that can promote industrial change, etc. At the same time, the achievements need to come from the central colleges and universities in Sichuan and have independent intellectual property rights; Achievements formed by obtaining provincial and ministerial science and technology awards, undertaking national science and technology plan projects and major provincial projects. “Finally, these achievements also require rapid application, promotion and demonstration to form a demonstration base or pilot test line.” The relevant person in charge of the science and Technology Department of Sichuan Province said that according to the plan, these achievements will also be able to quickly carry out application, promotion and demonstration, and form a pilot production line, or new products, new processes and new equipment; During the implementation period of the project, the cumulative sales revenue can be more than 100 million yuan or the profit and tax can be more than 30 million yuan, or significant social or ecological benefits can be generated.
“The new deal strengthens the connection between scientific and technological innovation achievements and industries, provides guidance and points out the direction for scientific research institutions to carry out the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.” The action of “Sichuan Institute of science and technology is responsible for promoting the development of large-scale and high-value industrial clusters and promoting the integration of Sichuan Institute of science and technology and Chengdu Institute of science and technology’s relevant industries” will help to promote the development of high-quality industrial clusters and the upgrading of Sichuan Institute of science and technology’s relevant industries.
