The Fifth Plenary Session of the XIX Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to insist on the central position of innovation in the overall situation of China’s modernization drive, and to consider scientific and technological self-reliance as a strategic support for national development and place it first in all planning tasks. The implementation of new concepts and development services to build a new development pattern in the scientific and technological innovation work of colleges and universities requires the transfer of school style, quality improvement, accelerating the construction of an innovation system quality and promote the development of high-quality higher education in the new era.
1. Study and apply the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and clarify the beacon of the new stage of university science and technology.
In-depth study and understanding of a number of important strategic judgments and deployments made by the plenary session, it is necessary to deeply understand and accurately understand the gap between university scientific and technological innovation and the new stage of development, the new concept development plan and the requirements of the new development pattern.
The first is to grasp the new stage of development and recognize the opportunities and challenges of innovation. Today’s world is undergoing major changes that have not been seen in a century. Technological innovation is a key variable in it, which is related to the fortune of the nation. China has moved to a high-quality development stage, but the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development remains prominent. The scientific and technological work of colleges and universities should place the promotion of original innovation capacity in a more prominent position and strive for further “0 to 1” breakthroughs.
The second is to implement the new development concept and adhere to the core position of innovation. Adhering to the central position of innovation in the overall situation of China’s modernization unit is a prominent requirement to implement the new development concept. To build a high-quality education system, colleges and universities must aim for high-quality development, cultivate innovative talents and enhance innovation capabilities, deepen education assessment reform, lead a culture of innovation, and cultivate the ground. for innovation.
The third is to serve the new development pattern and play a supporting role for innovation. It is our initiative and long-term strategy to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the dual national and international cycles promoting each other. The technological innovation of colleges and universities must be updated, transformed and developed, improve the quality and capacity of service contribution, support the independent control capacity of key core technologies, and help science and technology become self-sufficient.
2. Implement the new development concept and promote the transformation and updating of technological innovation in universities.
In order to implement the new development concept and meet the country’s needs for scientific and technological innovation in colleges and universities in the new era and new stage, the Ministry of Education will carry out the “transfer style and improve quality” of scientific and technological innovation in schools and universities as of 2020 to promote the transformation and development of scientific and technological innovation in schools and universities, and guide the establishment The new culture of innovation in scientific research leads to the formation of values and searches for pragmatic values and the search for truth.
Adhere to demand-oriented and problem-oriented, with the evaluation reform as a guide, change the pursuit of value. In early 2020, the Ministry of Education issued “Various Opinions on Improving the Quality of Patents in Colleges and Universities to Promote Transformation and Enforcement” and “Various Opinions on Regulating the Use of Related Indexes of Documents of SCI in colleges and universities to establish a correct evaluation guidance “to remove the” SCI first “from documents and improve universities The quality of patents is a breakthrough to promote the deepening of the reform of scientific and technological evaluation in universities, guide university researchers to focus on research, and promote a sense of responsibility, dedication, and feelings of family and country. Emphasize that basic research must really make discoveries and strengthen research “from 0 to 1”, technological innovation must truly solve problems, and transformation of results must be truly effective.
Create a national strategic force for scientific and technological innovation in universities and strengthen scientific research organizations with the construction of innovation bases as a starting point. In terms of basic research, build several state-of-the-art scientific centers; in terms of technological innovation, build a great platform for integrated research; In terms of transformation of achievements, build several collaborative innovation centers. The key to building all three platforms is “practice.” According to the requirements of physical space, research team, objective and task, and investment guarantee, a group of scientific research teams will be supported to carry out long-term stable research around issues core frontier and key key technologies, and will strive for significant penetration.
3. Serve the new pattern of development and support high-quality economic and social development with high-quality technological innovation.
Colleges and universities should accelerate the implementation of the strategic deployment of the Ministry of Education, combine the actual work of the school and take the “transfer style and quality improvement” as a systematic and long-term project, develop policies, implement them and achieve results, so that scientific and technological innovation can be implemented. .
First, the orientation of the evaluation should be pragmatic and efforts should be made to create a good innovation ecology. To create a practical and innovative atmosphere, the orientation of the assessment is an important part. We must make great determination, make real efforts, soften the reform ideas and accelerate the introduction of various specific policies and systems according to the requirements of “one school, one policy” on the basis of the formulation of reform plans. The development of universities and disciplines must avoid homogeneity and emphasize characteristic development. Relevant institutions can provide diagnostic evaluations for universities. It is recommended not to make rankings or publicly disclose the so-called evaluation rankings to avoid cheating or even hijacking the development of universities.
Second, the scientific research team must be practical and accelerate the progress of organized scientific research. Secretary-General Xi Jinping repeatedly pointed out that there is a need to strengthen strategic research and judgment and forward-looking deployment in major innovation fields, pay close attention to the arrangement of national laboratories, reorganize the national system of key laboratories, build important innovation foundations and innovation platforms, and enhance the industry-university-research collaborative innovation mechanism. The purpose of the innovation base platform is to carry out organized scientific research. The prerequisite for organized scientific research is that the scientific research team is strong and that continuous long-term collaborative research is carried out around major scientific goals. The objectives must be clear, the tasks must be clear and the guarantees must exist. At the same time, it is necessary to resolve the three relationships between scientific research and teaching, platform and departments, and individuals and teams through the construction of platforms.
The third is to make scientific research tasks realistic and write articles about the land of the mother country. We must persevere in facing the frontiers of science and technology in the world, face the main economic battlefield, face the main needs of the country, face the life and health of the people, and continually march towards the breadth and depth of life. science and technology. Researchers at universities and colleges should adhere to demand- and problem-oriented selection of scientific research topics. They cannot do what is good, do what is easy to produce results, and pursue what is fashionable. They cannot use the number of articles and patents for the purpose of scientific research. To return to the original aspirations of academics is to generate scientific value or solve practical problems.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the XIX Central Committee of the Communist Party of China presented new and higher requirements for work in education and science and technology, and also outlined goals and directions for the high-quality development of higher education and science work. and technology in universities. Colleges and universities should know your family background, combine it with the school’s future development direction, strengthen the design and high-level organization, increase the design of the innovation base platform construction, create a good atmosphere of innovation and focus on enhancing innovation capabilities, to achieve high-quality development of higher education and build socialism. A modern and powerful country brings an important force.
