On the afternoon of April 16th, the annual assessment of the construction and operation of the key sci-tech innovation platform was held in the conference room 269 of Xipu Campus. Prof. He Chuan, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Zhang Wengui, Prof. Guo Jun, Prof. Xu Zhigen, Prof. Kang Guozheng and Prof. He Zhengyou attended the meeting chaired by Prof. Wang Ping, the director of Research Management Office (RMO).
Prof. Wang Ping first introduced the general requirements of the national sci-tech system reform and the national outlook for strategically strengthening scientific research forces. He stressed that the ultimate goal of our research reform in the new era is to empower the sci-tech innovation capacity, guiding the research for an ever-higher level while keeping to the strategic “Four Directions”. For the assessment, the RMO, after a wide survey along with several rounds of discussion, has already established a diversified and multi-dimensional evaluation index, aimed to improve our capacity for sci-tech innovation,including steering basic research toward "zero-to-one" technology, breakthroughs in the "bottleneck" technology, and the development of the first set of instruments and equipment. Wang promised that the RMO would endeavor to implement the reform of the national scientific research evaluation system, and to a remove the institutional barriers that restrict the high-quality sci-tech growth as well.
Then, 6 national sci-tech innovation platforms and 4 key laboratories of the Ministry of Education, such as National Engineering Research Center for Rail Transit Electrification and Automation High-speed Railway Line Engineering, reported their work successively, and got assessed respectively.
Vice Chancellor He Chuan summed up the assessment. He gave a high praise of these innovation platforms for their reform trials ; once again he stressed national significance of the construction of key platforms. He required the RMO of a further improvement of the assessment system and a trail-breaker in scientific innovation reforms; the platforms of a promotion construction by this evaluation, an improvement in their capability of platforms for undertaking major national research tasks and solving major scientific problems, and of building themselves into an important "bearing area" or an organic component of the national strategic research force.
