The core is to design our R&D tasks based on the urgent needs of our high economic level and social. quality development “. Resource allocation of the Ministry of Science and Technology Xie Xin, director of the Department of Management, said that in the implementation process, the “military order” and other reform measures were used to consolidate responsibilities, and finally the end users were required to evaluate our results.
“Young people are already the main force in the implementation of our science and technology plan. During the period of the ‘XIV Five-Year Plan’, we must provide them with a higher and larger platform so that outstanding young researchers can take the initiative, lead the organization of national projects, and be bold in project implementation. Innovation, but also for the development of science and technology in our country to cultivate a group of young reserve forces who can lead the way in the future, “said Xie Xin.
