Strong foundation, solid foundation, improving quality and efficiency, seizing the commanding heights of science and technology

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that accelerating the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance is the only way to promote high-quality development. In the face of complex and fierce international competition, China urgently needs to seize the commanding heights of future competition in frontier and strategic fields, accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, and effectively guarantee national development and security. At present, we should start from the four aspects of strategic positioning, strengthening the construction of the main body, consolidating basic research, and promoting open cooperation, strengthen the foundation, improve quality and efficiency, and accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.
Strategic positioning is related to the direction of scientific and technological innovation. Facing the frontiers of world science and technology, facing the main battlefield of the economy, facing the major needs of the country, and facing the lives and health of the people, this is the direction that scientific and technological innovation needs to firmly grasp. The frontier of science and technology in the world is usually the most unknown, innovative and future potential field of science and technology, which often has a revolutionary impact on human life style, work style and social structure. The main economic battlefield is the carrier to promote high-quality economic development and the foundation and important support for scientific and technological innovation. The major needs of the country are the shortcomings and weaknesses that need to be resolved in my country's economic and social development, improvement of people's livelihood, and national defense construction. They are the key links that restrict my country's scientific and technological strength. People's life and health is the theoretical expression and realistic presentation of the "people-centered" ruling concept in the field of science and technology. Aiming at these fields to carry out scientific research and technological innovation is the key to solving key core technical problems, improving my country's independent scientific and technological innovation capabilities, and participating in the formulation of international scientific and technological rules.
The construction of the main body is the key link to improve the ability of independent innovation and achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. The national strategic scientific and technological force is the leader and important part of carrying out scientific and technological innovation and building a strong country in science and technology, and is an important starting point to lead the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. At present, the overall development of China's national strategic scientific and technological forces is still in its infancy, the main functions of the national strategic scientific and technological forces need to be strengthened, the construction and organizational mechanism is not perfect, and it has not yet been able to play a strategic supporting and leading role in key areas and key directions. there is an urgent need to cultivate the national strategic scientific and technological forces with systematic and holistic thinking, forward-looking, systematic scientific layout and organized. In this regard, first of all, we must have clear goals and clear positioning, and carry out top-level design of the fields, main research tasks and implementation paths that the national strategic scientific and technological forces are facing, and improve the overall layout of the national innovation system for high-level scientific and technological self-reliance; secondly, To be based on the functional positioning of national laboratories, national scientific research institutions, high-level research universities, and leading enterprises in science and technology, accelerate the construction of a collaborative innovation mechanism between different manifestations of national strategic scientific and technological forces, and form a strategic scientific and technological force complex that supports each other and connects upstream and downstream; third, it is necessary to accelerate the promotion of national strategic scientific and technological forces to achieve a leading role, and strengthen national strategic scientific and technological forces and various The integration and innovation of innovative subjects guides the national strategic scientific and technological forces to fully participate in the key links of the innovation value chain, in promoting the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, it forms a new pattern of cooperation with all kinds of innovation subjects with complementary functions and benign interaction.
Basic research is the source and fundamental driving force of scientific and technological innovation, and the key to coping with international scientific and technological competition, solving key technical problems from the source and the bottom, and achieving a high level of self-reliance. It is necessary to continuously consolidate basic research from the aspects of research layout, institutional guarantee, policy guidance, infrastructure construction, high-level personnel training and international cooperation, so as to provide strong support for independent scientific and technological innovation and breakthroughs in key core technologies. It is necessary to give full play to the advantages of the new national system, use the country as a major scientific and technological innovation organizer, and through innovative institutional arrangements, twist the government, market, society and other forces into a rope, unblock the industrial chain and innovation chain, and drive technology and talents., Regional and other all-round and multi-angle global innovation; it is necessary to continue to optimize the industrial innovation ecosystem and strengthen the synergy and interaction among various innovation entities, to realize the innovation ecology of multi-department, multi-level and multi-party cooperation, expand and strengthen the main body of enterprise innovation, encourage leading enterprises in the industry to take the lead in forming innovation consortia, carry out core technology research, and solve the problem of short board of key core technology in China.
High-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement should firmly grasp the initiative and leading power of scientific and technological innovation and development in their own hands, but it does not mean that they are completely closed behind closed doors. At present, the degree of openness of scientific research institutions, personnel and projects in China is insufficient, and there are still institutional obstacles in the flow of international scientific and technological talents and the use of international scientific research funds. International scientific and technological cooperation is a major trend, and the development of science and technology should have a global perspective. We should promote international scientific and technological exchanges with more open thinking and measures, actively integrate into the global innovation network, and use global innovation resources to enhance our scientific and technological innovation capabilities; focus on major common issues and challenges of global concern such as climate change and human health, actively promote exchanges and cooperation in talents, technologies and projects at home and abroad, actively open up large-scale scientific infrastructure and launch international large-scale scientific projects, we will enhance openness, trust and cooperation with the international scientific and technological community, continue to expand the network of international academic exchanges and cooperation, attract top outstanding scientists to jointly carry out research, and contribute to the well-being of mankind and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
