On March 6, the Shanghai delegation to the Second Session of the 14th National People's Congress held an open group meeting to review the work report and answer questions from reporters. When asked how to effectively improve the scientific and technological innovation level of high-level research universities and how to improve the acceleration of achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance, Ding Kuiling, president of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, gave the answer: "follow-up" in resource investment, "run" in school-enterprise cooperation, and "lead" in seizing the commanding heights.
Representative Ding Kuiling.
'Keeping up' means that the growth rate of stable investment should keep up with the speed of the development of higher education, give full play to the leverage role of structural adjustment, and promote organized scientific research in colleges and universities. Ding Kuiling said that for a long time, many universities have faced the contradiction of mismatch between scientific research characteristics and scientific research investment. The data shows that since the official implementation of the basic scientific research business expenditure, the average annual growth rate is 987%, while the average annual growth rate of the total investment in scientific research and experimental development of universities is 1344%, much higher than the former increase.
Ding Kuiling believes that stable scientific research funding is the ballast stone for scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities, and the reassurance for scientists to devote themselves to scientific and technological research. Too much competitive funding may make scientific research change from "goal-oriented" to "project-oriented", affect the long-term and systematic layout of organized scientific research, weaken the energy and determination of scientists to tackle scientific and technological problems, and is not conducive to the formation of original and subversive innovation achievements. "It is necessary to further coordinate the investment of diversified resources such as **, localities, universities, and enterprises, and build a stable funding system covering different stages, different levels, and different groups. ”
The "parallel running" refers to deepening the collaboration and integration of universities and innovative enterprises, giving full play to the dual main role of strong coupling, forming an efficient and collaborative innovation system of production, education and research, and jointly promoting the development of new quality productivity. "Universities and enterprises are both important parts of the national strategic scientific and technological forces, and they should open their boundaries and form a collaborative mechanism of 'goal consensus, personnel commonality, task sharing, and achievement sharing'. Ding Kuiling pointed out.
In Ding Kuiling's view, the successful development of the HarmonyOS system by Shanghai Jiaotong University and Huawei is a typical paradigm of "running together" between schools and enterprises. Based on practical exploration, Ding Kuiling summarized several experiences: first, universities and enterprises should find a good entry point, and the consensus on the goal determines the depth of cooperation; secondly, to break through the traditional limitations of talent flow and assessment, so that talents can balance on-campus research and industrial implementation in a flexible way; In addition, the two sides should perform their respective duties and show their strengths, so that university teachers can focus more on solving scientific and technological problems, and enterprises should solve engineering verification and iteration problems; Finally, universities and enterprises should have a more mature and flexible achievement sharing mechanism to fully stimulate the vitality of both parties on the basis of mutual benefit.
'Leading' refers to accurately grasping the strategic focus of the commanding heights of science and technology, playing the role of the head goose guiding the direction, and leading the process of scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities. Ding Kuiling said that scientific and technological innovation can not be brutal and blind, we must have a baton, a sense of direction, adhere to the road of scientific and technological innovation with Chinese characteristics in combination with China's national conditions, find the right commanding heights that need to be overcome, and form a competitive barrier that I have, people have my superiority, and people have my speciality.
In order to seize the commanding heights of science and technology, we not only need to cultivate more strategic scientists with an overall concept and forward-looking judgment, but also introduce more world-class scientists in frontier fields and outstanding young scientists with development potential, so as to form a talent echelon with the potential of strategic scientists, and become a 'leader' in promoting the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement in the process of seizing the commanding heights of science and technology. Ding Kuiling said.
