Yu Jianyong: Improve The Manufacturing Of Independent Talent Cultivation Machine And Build A High-Level Innovative Talent Team

Recently, Guangming Daily published Yu Jianyong, president of Donghua University and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, signed an article titled "Improving the independent talent training mechanism to create a high-level innovative talent team". The full text is as follows.

The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese style Modernization (hereinafter referred to as the Decision) adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) proposed: "Deepen the reform of talent development system and mechanism. We will implement a more active, open and effective talent policy, improve the mechanism for independent talent training, and accelerate the construction of a national highland of high-level talents and a platform for attracting and gathering talents. " On June 24, at the National Science and Technology Conference, the National Science and Technology Award Conference, and the Academicians' Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Sciences, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "we should adhere to the need for scientific and technological innovation as the traction, optimize the discipline setting of colleges and universities, innovate the talent training model, and effectively improve the level and quality of independent talent training." To improve the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system, we must strengthen independent training, Create a team of innovative talents with a large scale, reasonable structure and excellent quality.

　　 Guided by the major demand for scientific and technological innovation

If science and technology prosper, the nation will prosper; if science and technology are strong, the country will be strong. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "We must fully understand the strategic leading position and fundamental supporting role of science and technology, anchor the strategic goal of building a strong country in science and technology by 2035, strengthen top-level design and overall planning, and accelerate the realization of high-level science and technology self-reliance." Entering the new era, China's science and technology cause has made historic achievements, undergone historic changes, and scientific and technological innovation continues to achieve new breakthroughs, Accelerate the realization of self-reliance and self-improvement in high-level science and technology. However, China's original innovation ability in science and technology is relatively weak, key core technologies are restricted by others, and top scientific and technological talents are scarce.

Highlight top-level design and accelerate the independent cultivation of national strategic scientific and technological forces. In the competition among the world's scientific and technological powers, the core competition is the national strategic scientific and technological strength. The national strategic science and technology force is the key core force to enhance the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system and realize the self-reliance and self-improvement of high-level science and technology. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, remarkable achievements have been made in the construction of national strategic scientific and technological forces, and China's comprehensive innovation capability has continued to leap. In the new development stage, it is necessary to strengthen top-level design and overall planning, constantly expand the depth and breadth of serving the country's major scientific and technological innovation needs, take the "scientific research proposition" of serving the country's major strategic needs and solving the "choke" key technologies as the "education proposition" and "education candidate proposition", and accelerate the promotion of national laboratories, national research institutions, high-level research universities The construction of national strategic scientific and technological forces such as science and technology leading enterprises, in particular, should strengthen the ability of independent talent training, and consciously fulfill the mission of self-reliance and self-improvement of high-level science and technology through the improvement of the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system.

Aim at the leading edge and focus, and accelerate the independent cultivation of key core technology capabilities. Problems are the voice of the times and the starting point of scientific and technological innovation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "scientific and technological breakthrough should adhere to the problem orientation, and run for the most urgent and urgent problems." Practice has repeatedly proved that key core technologies are not available, cannot be bought, and cannot be obtained. Only by holding key core technologies in their own hands, can we firmly grasp the initiative of innovation and development. Guided by the national strategic needs, we should improve the new nationwide system for tackling key core technologies, focus on solving the pain points that restrict national development and security, focus on breaking through the key and difficult points that occupy the forefront of future scientific and technological development, focus on seizing the bright spots and advantages that most have China's first mover advantage in the field of science and technology, and vigorously implement organized forward-looking scientific research in the new generation of artificial intelligence Energy and transportation integration, integrated circuit, new material research and development, medical and industrial integration, smart society and other innovative and leading major scientific and technological fields have been expanded and improved, and the independent cultivation of key core technical capabilities, especially talent cultivation, has been strengthened.

　　 Focusing on optimizing discipline setting in colleges and universities

Colleges and universities are an important combination of science and technology as the first productive force, talent as the first resource, and innovation as the first driving force. They shoulder the responsibility of scientific and technological innovation and independent talent training. The establishment and construction of disciplines and specialties in colleges and universities play a fundamental and guiding role in the allocation of educational and teaching resources. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that high-level research universities should "give play to the advantages of profound basic research and interdisciplinary integration, and become the main force of basic research and the fresh force of major scientific and technological breakthroughs". The Decision puts forward that "we should promote the reform of colleges and universities in a classified way, establish a discipline setting adjustment mechanism and talent training model driven by scientific and technological development and national strategic needs, urgently need disciplines and majors in an extraordinary layout, strengthen the construction of basic disciplines, emerging disciplines, interdisciplinary disciplines and top-notch talent training, and focus on strengthening the cultivation of innovation ability". We should thoroughly implement the strategy of revitalizing the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country through talents, and the strategy of innovation driven development, break the tangible and intangible barriers of disciplines, majors, and colleges, cultivate new interdisciplinary growth points, open up new fields and new tracks for the development of disciplinary structure, and constantly shape new driving forces and new advantages for development.

Promote the reform of discipline structure, and pay attention to the independent cultivation of interdisciplinary. The reform of discipline structure should have an overall vision and a long-term perspective. With the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous progress of society, a single subject knowledge system has been difficult to solve complex practical problems. At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was proposed to "strengthen the construction of basic disciplines, emerging disciplines and interdisciplinary disciplines, and accelerate the construction of world-class universities and advantageous disciplines with Chinese characteristics". The interdisciplinary integration is a significant advantage for colleges and universities to independently cultivate top-notch innovative talents. The in-depth collision and integration of different disciplines may produce new ideas and innovative achievements. In today's era, it is necessary to optimize the structure of disciplines and specialties in colleges and universities, break the barriers of disciplines and specialties, promote the cross integration of disciplines, specialties, and courses, and build a multi-level and interdisciplinary professional development ecology guided by major scientific issues and social development needs. We will deploy key strategic areas in advance, promote research on cutting-edge and disruptive technologies, and effectively improve our original and independent innovation capabilities through independent training, so as to inject tremendous momentum into building an educational power.

Increase the construction of basic platforms and strengthen the independent cultivation of basic disciplines. "Those who seek for the strength of trees must consolidate their roots; those who want to flow far must dredge their sources." Basic research is the source of scientific and technological innovation and the foundation of scientific and technological self-reliance. Throughout the history of human science and technology development, almost all major core technologies that affect the world originate from basic research. Seeking the original innovation of "from 0 to 1" requires cultivating a large number of basic research talents. In recent years, China's scientific and technological strength has continued to increase, but compared with the requirements of building a world scientific and technological power and innovation highland, the weakness of basic scientific research is still prominent. We should vigorously improve the talent cultivation ability of basic disciplines, attach importance to the creation of a common basic platform for disciplines, optimize the talent cultivation system for basic research in an all-round and full chain way, provide rolling support for cutting-edge, basic and strategic original innovation and interdisciplinary cross research, and strive to break through a number of "killer" technologies related to national strategy The "choke" technology that restricts high-quality development, the key technology to build the first mover advantage, and the cutting-edge technology to lead the future development will spare no effort to create a new track for the development of "track changing overtaking".

　　 Take innovative talent training mode as the core

Talents are the foundation of the future. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly regards "implementing the strategy of revitalizing the country through science and education and strengthening the talent support for modernization construction" as a separate part, makes an integrated deployment of science and technology, education and talent work, and emphasizes that "education, science and technology, and talent are the basic and strategic support for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way". The Decision emphasizes that "education, science and technology, and talents are the basic and strategic support for Chinese modernization", and proposes to "accelerate the construction of national strategic talent force, focus on training and bringing up strategic scientists, first-class scientific and technological leading talents and innovation teams, focus on training and bringing up outstanding engineers, great country craftsmen, and highly skilled talents, and improve the quality of all kinds of talents" "Improve the mechanism for discovering, selecting and cultivating young innovative talents". The promotion of Chinese style modernization is inseparable from the strategic support of talents.

Based on demand driven, improve the ability of independent talent cultivation. Scientific and technological innovation needs talent support, and talent training depends on the development of education. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that "the competition in today's world is, in the final analysis, the competition for talents and education." At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform is deepening. It should be driven by the innovation needs of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and adhere to the strategic orientation of facing the world's scientific and technological frontier, facing the main battlefield of the economy, facing the major needs of the country, and facing the people's life and health, Improve the ability of independent talent cultivation in integrated circuits, industrial machines, basic software, advanced materials, scientific research instruments, core sources, etc., and cultivate more high-quality technical and skilled talents, craftsmen, and craftsmen from large countries. Give full play to the enthusiasm of colleges and universities, scientific research institutes and enterprises, further strengthen the cooperation between colleges and enterprises, create a practical training system driven by projects and driven by solving actual scientific and technological needs, and achieve win-win cooperation through two-way empowerment. We will further strengthen humanistic quality, scientific foundation, and engineering education, and strengthen the independent cultivation of top-notch innovative talents, so as to provide talent support for tackling key core technologies in China.

Follow the laws of science and technology to improve the quality of independent talent training. Achieve with merit and expand with talents. "All the history of science and technology has proved that whoever has first-class innovative talents and scientists can take advantage in scientific and technological innovation." Talent competition has become the core of the competition in comprehensive national strength. Without a strong talent team as the backing, independent innovation is water without a source and a tree without roots. We should seize the important historical opportunity of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, pay attention to the internal contradiction drive of knowledge and technology system, connect the key elements of revolutionary breakthroughs in scientific and technological development, respect the law of talent growth, follow the law of scientific and technological innovation, establish the concept of scientific and technological development with priority of quality and efficiency, and work hard and for a long time in the new generation of information technology, artificial intelligence In the scientific and technological innovation in the fields of quantum technology, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, etc., we have brought together the talents and wisdom of the world. Comprehensively improve the political quality of the talent team, guide scientific and technological talents to establish the great ambition of serving the country through science and technology, inherit the good qualities of the older generation of scientists who are realistic, pragmatic, serving the country and the people, and selfless dedication, uphold the supremacy of national and people's interests, and truly write scientific and technological innovation on the motherland.

　　 Take the path of integrating global smart resources

Science and technology are the cornerstone of human civilization and progress and the engine of modernization. The Decision emphasizes that "opening up is a distinctive symbol of Chinese style modernization". Scientific and technological progress is a worldwide and epochal subject, and only open cooperation is the right way. The more complex the international environment is, the more we need to open our minds and doors, coordinate openness and security, and achieve self-reliance in open cooperation.

Opening up and cooperation is the right way. We should strengthen independent training in win-win cooperation. If we do not refuse to flow, we will become a river and a sea. Emphasizing the independent cultivation of talents does not mean self isolation. Instead, we should embrace development opportunities with greater openness, seek mutual benefit and win-win results with better cooperation, expand international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, strengthen the construction of an international scientific research environment, and form an open and innovative ecology with global competitiveness. Data shows that China has established scientific and technological cooperation relations with more than 160 countries and regions, participated in or led nearly 60 international major science programs and major science projects, and deeply implemented the "Belt and Road" scientific and technological innovation action plan. The "China Tianyan", Beidou navigation satellite system, China space station and other major powers have become an important platform and carrier for China to participate in international cooperation. At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has developed in depth. The world is facing global scientific problems such as climate change, energy revolution, public health, and so on. More than ever, international scientific and technological cooperation is needed. The Decision proposed that "we should improve the support and guarantee mechanism for overseas talent introduction, form a talent system with international competitiveness, and explore the establishment of a migration system for high-tech talents". We should adhere to the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, adhere to the global vision and world vision to plan and promote talent training, strengthen in-depth cooperation with world-class universities, high-level scientific research institutions, and "sophisticated" enterprises and industries, promote the coordinated cultivation of talents by all forces, and transform cutting-edge innovation advantages into a winning trend of independent talent training.

Self reliance and self-improvement promote development, and speed up independent cultivation in the process of self-improvement. "To promote Chinese style modernization, we must adhere to independence, self-reliance and self-improvement, put the development of the country and the nation on the basis of our own strength, and firmly hold the destiny of China's development and progress in our own hands.". Looking back at history, the CPC has led the Chinese nation to strive for self-improvement and stride forward in a magnificent historical scroll; To win the future, we should adhere to self-reliance and self-improvement in open cooperation, and create a broader space for scientific and technological innovation for high-level scientific and technological talents. Anchoring the strategic goal of building China into a scientific and technological power by 2035 requires a forward-looking thinking on the overall planning of independent talent training and building an innovation highland that gathers global wisdom resources. On the one hand, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, implement phased, differentiated and precise training, rely on national major scientific and technological tasks and innovation platforms, strengthen the layout of disciplines and high-level team building, and create a social influential science and innovation competition and academic exchange display platform; On the other hand, we will continue to optimize the whole chain talent ecology of "introducing, cultivating and retaining", and effectively realize the sharing, win-win and mutual promotion of advantageous resources of global basic research talent training through independent training, joint training, academic visits, cooperative school running, intelligence introduction and other forms, so as to make greater contributions to the progress of human civilization with more major original innovations and core technology breakthroughs.

On the journey of becoming a powerful country through science and technology in the new era, scientific and technological workers shoulder a heavy responsibility and have great prospects. We should vigorously carry forward the spirit of scientists, strengthen the training of young scientific and technological talents, maximize the innovation and creativity of talents, accelerate the training of a large, reasonably structured and high-quality team of innovative talents, and build a modern socialist country in an all-round way to achieve self-reliance and self-improvement in high-level science and technology To contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization.
