Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Education issued the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Professional Title System for Experimental Technical Talents" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions") to clarify measures and deploy and promote the reform of the professional title system for experimental technical talents.
The "Guiding Opinions" pointed out that experimental technical talents are an important part of the talent team of schools and scientific research institutions, and are an important force in promoting scientific and technological research and teaching, and strengthening scientific and technological practice and innovation. It is necessary to follow the law of experimental technology development and talent growth, establish a professional title system that conforms to the professional characteristics of experimental technical talents, fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the majority of experimental technical talents, and provide institutional guarantee and talent support for comprehensively promoting the development of scientific research practice.
The "Guiding Opinions" are clear and a sound system. The titles of experimental technical personnel are set up at the elementary, intermediate, and senior levels. The elementary level is divided into the staff level and the assistant level, and the senior level is divided into the deputy senior level and the senior level. We should improve the evaluation standards, put ideological and moral character and professional ethics in the first place in the evaluation of professional titles of experimental technical talents, get rid of the tendency of only academic qualifications, qualifications, papers, awards and projects, and focus on the contributions of experimental technical talents to the personnel training, scientific research, experimental safety, technology development or discipline and professional development of their units. Innovate the evaluation mechanism, further improve the industry evaluation mechanism based on peer expert review, flexibly adopt a variety of evaluation methods, explore the evaluation mechanism of representative results, and pay attention to the quality, contribution and influence of representative results. The power of professional title evaluation will be delegated to qualified universities, scientific research institutions and other different types of employers, so as to give full play to the main role of employers in the evaluation of professional titles. Establish a green channel for the evaluation of professional titles, and encourage experimental technical personnel to devote themselves to research and make outstanding contributions. Strengthen the supervision of professional title evaluation, improve the selection mechanism of evaluation experts, clarify the responsibilities of evaluation experts, implement open policies, open standards, open procedures, and open results, strengthen the supervision and management of the entire process of professional title evaluation, strengthen self-discipline and external supervision, and highlight the fairness of evaluation.
The guiding opinions emphasize that the reform of the professional title system of experimental technical personnel is an important measure to strengthen the construction of the team of experimental technical personnel. All regions and departments should fully understand the importance of the reform, strengthen leadership and make careful arrangements, so as to create good conditions for the reform of the professional title system of experimental technical personnel and ensure the smooth and orderly progress of the reform.
