2025-06-13
"Independent innovation in science and technology" and "independent training of talents" are the key support for Chinese path to modernization, and they are interrelated and mutually reinforcing. On May 26th, General Secretary Xi Jinping made an important statement in a letter congratulating Fudan University on its 120th anniversary, stating the importance of promoting a positive interaction between independent innovation in science and technology and independent talent cultivation. This further deepened the understanding of the relationship between "independent innovation in science and technology" and "independent talent cultivation". We should deeply study and understand the profound theoretical connotation and methodology of this important conclusion, accurately grasp the positive interaction between "independent innovation in science and technology" and "independent cultivation of talents", deepen the reform of the system and mechanism of education, science and technology talents, and constantly make new contributions to comprehensively promoting the construction of a powerful country and national rejuvenation with Chinese path to modernization. 1. "Technological independent innovation" provides strong support for "talent independent training". Talents are strategic resources for achieving national rejuvenation and winning the initiative in international competition. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "cultivating talents is a major plan for the long-term development of the country and the nation, and the competition for talents in today's world is primarily a competition for talent cultivation. China is a major country, and its demand for talent quantity, quality, and structure is comprehensive. To meet this demand, we cannot do without the comprehensive mechanism of independent talent cultivation through technological innovation. This innovation mode has defined the development direction for independent talent cultivation around the needs of building a strong country through science and technology and talents. At the same time, with advanced and complex facilities and institutional arrangements, it provides superior material and technological conditions for the independent cultivation of talents, and with its clear and reliable scientific paradigm, provides feasible and effective processes and models for the independent cultivation of talents. Technological independent innovation clarifies the strategic direction of talent cultivation. Our country's independent innovation in science and technology is to adhere to the forefront of world science and technology, the main battlefield of the economy, major national needs, and people's lives and health, and accelerate the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement. This series of important requirements and principles clarifies the strategic direction of independent talent cultivation. We should accelerate the implementation of strategic and forward-looking national major scientific and technological projects based on the urgent and long-term needs of national development, gather strength to carry out original and leading scientific and technological research, dare to propose new theories, open up new fields, explore new paths, constantly overcome "bottleneck" problems, continuously advance towards the breadth and depth of science and technology, write papers on the land of our motherland, and apply scientific and technological achievements to the great cause of realizing socialist modernization. The material and technological conditions for strengthening the independent cultivation of talents through technological innovation. The construction of national laboratories and research institutions is conducive to accelerating the construction of original innovation source areas, accelerating breakthroughs in key core technologies, and independently cultivating top scientific and technological talents. High level research-oriented universities are the main body of independent innovation in education, technology, and talent. They should fully leverage the advantages of deep basic research and interdisciplinary integration, strengthen exploration of cutting-edge foundations and breakthroughs in key technologies, and contribute to the cultivation of more outstanding talents. Leading technology enterprises have made contributions to the research and development of common key technologies in the industry, the transformation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and the sharing of scientific and technological resources, promoting the deep integration of innovation chain, industry chain, capital chain, and talent chain, and continuously cultivating high-end cutting-edge talents. In addition, the technological infrastructure and research equipment and instruments that are essential for independent technological innovation demonstrate irreplaceable value and role in talent cultivation. The achievements of independent technological innovation are not only the output of scientific research innovation, but also the "equipment and instruments" for talent cultivation. The facilities and equipment such as the Spallation Neutron Source, the Quantum Computing Prototype "Nine Chapters", and the Programmable Superconducting Quantum Computing Prototype "Zuchong" are not only advanced technological products, but also good schools for independently cultivating talents. Technological independent innovation improves the process mode of independent talent cultivation. Technological independent innovation revolves around the urgent needs and emerging fields of national strategy, based on scientific research practice, and puts outstanding talents in real frontline scenarios through "learning by doing" and "learning by creating", achieving the integration of scientific research innovation and talent cultivation. Organize industry university research collaboration around national key areas and industries, and independently cultivate talents in major scientific research tasks. For example, China has achieved significant innovation in fields such as manned spaceflight, supercomputers, quantum information, and biomedicine, which are also major achievements in the independent talent cultivation model. To accelerate the construction of a world important talent center and innovation highland, China must rely on a series of major scientific and technological projects and engineering projects such as "Science and Technology Innovation 2030- Major Projects" to vigorously cultivate strategic scientists and leading talents in science and technology. In addition, we should adhere to cultivating basic research talents in scientific research practice, focus on young talents in policies, formulate and implement special projects for basic research talents, provide long-term stable support for a group of young talents who have achieved outstanding results in the field of natural sciences and have obvious innovation potential, guide the development of original and non consensus innovative research, implement long-term evaluations, provide high-intensity support, promote the output of major original achievements and the emergence of outstanding young talents, and comprehensively improve the quality of independent talent training. 2. "Independent talent cultivation" provides sustained impetus for "independent technological innovation" to achieve the grand goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement are key. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "in order for China to achieve high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, it ultimately depends on high-level innovative talents. Technological innovation is essentially a creative activity of human beings, and talent resources are the most active and positive factor in innovation activities. To better grasp the major opportunities of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, promoting independent innovation in science and technology through talent cultivation is an inevitable choice. We must give more prominence to cultivating talents urgently needed for national major strategies, focus on cultivating top-notch innovative talents, accelerate the establishment of competitive advantages in talent resources, and consolidate the foundation of innovative development talents. Independent talent cultivation is conducive to winning the strategic initiative of independent technological innovation. On the one hand, technological innovation is accelerating its evolution, and scientific research is expanding towards the macro level, deepening towards the micro level, advancing towards extreme conditions, and making comprehensive efforts towards the extreme. In response to the bottleneck constraints in key areas such as integrated circuits, industrial mother machines, basic software, and advanced materials, we will increase efforts to cultivate talents independently and always firmly grasp the development direction leading scientific and technological innovation. On the other hand, the unprecedented global changes are accelerating, with frequent local conflicts and turbulence, intensifying global issues, and the interweaving of technological revolution and great power games. The high-tech field has become the forefront and main battlefield of international competition, and the competition for talents around the technological high ground is constantly intensifying. Only by attaching more importance to the independent training of talents can we win strategic initiative in the increasingly fierce international competition. Independent talent cultivation is conducive to consolidating the resource foundation for independent technological innovation. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "key core technologies cannot be obtained, bought, or obtained. Only by mastering key core technologies in our own hands can we fundamentally ensure national economic security, national defense security, and other security. Strengthening innovation in basic research is an inevitable requirement for technological self-reliance and determination to win the battle against key core technologies. Talents are the key to independent innovation, and top talents are irreplaceable. We must make efforts to build a systematic and high-level basic research talent training platform, and solidly cultivate the Chinese genes of basic research innovation. We will adhere to the path of independent training of basic research talents, deeply implement the "Talent Plan", "Strong Foundation Plan", "Top notch Students in Basic Disciplines Training Plan", optimize the basic discipline education system, give full play to the main force of basic research talent training in universities, especially "Double First Class" universities, and strengthen the cultivation of high-level talents urgently needed by the country. Independent talent cultivation is conducive to enhancing the sustained guarantee of scientific and technological innovation. Innovation driven is essentially talent driven, and talent is the primary resource. We should take technological development and national strategic needs as the driving force, focus on improving innovation capabilities, improve the adjustment mechanism of university discipline settings and talent cultivation models, and make extraordinary arrangements for urgently needed disciplines and majors. We should strengthen the construction of basic disciplines, emerging disciplines, interdisciplinary disciplines, and the cultivation of top-notch talents. Give full play to the role of universities as the main force of basic research and the source of major scientific and technological breakthroughs, improve the organization level of basic research, implement breakthrough plans for basic disciplines and interdisciplinary fields, establish an effective mechanism for mutual support between scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation, and drive the high-quality development of disciplines. 3. Strengthening the system design to promote the benign interaction between the two is the key core and latest development of the integrated reform of the education technology talent system and mechanism, which aims to promote the benign interaction between independent technological innovation and talent cultivation. The report of the Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) for the first time deployed a special chapter for education, science and technology talents, and made it clear that we should adhere to the priority development of education, self-reliance in science and technology, and talent leadership drive, and accelerate the construction of a strong country in education, science and technology, and talent. The Third Plenum of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the National Education Conference further deepened the understanding of educational technology talents, believing that educational technology talents are internally consistent and mutually supportive. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need to deepen education and research reform, promote independent innovation in science and technology, and foster a positive interaction between talent cultivation. This includes both the autonomy and interactivity of education and technology talents, further clarifying the new requirements for coordinating and promoting the integrated reform of the education and technology talent system and mechanism, as well as new expectations for high-level research-oriented universities to play a role in it. We need to enhance our system awareness, deepen the integrated reform of the education technology talent system and mechanism, and promote the development of education, technological innovation, and talent cultivation as a whole. Strengthen the Party's leadership over independent innovation in science and technology and independent talent cultivation. The leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for the success of China's independent innovation in science and technology, as well as the fundamental guarantee for accelerating the development of talent cultivation. The Party's management of talents means that the Party must lead the implementation of the strategy of building a strong country through talents, promote high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, strengthen political guidance for talent work, provide all-round support and assistance to talents, and make every effort to cultivate and achieve talents. With a keen eye for recognizing talents, sincerity in loving talents, courage in using talents, magnanimity in accommodating talents, and a good way to gather talents, the Party should focus on gathering outstanding talents from all aspects within and outside the Party, domestic and foreign countries into the great struggle of the Party and the people. Party committees (party groups) at all levels should improve the talent work pattern of unified leadership by party committees, with organizational departments taking the lead in overall management, functional departments performing their respective duties and closely cooperating, and social forces widely participating. Coordinate and promote the integrated reform of the education technology talent system and mechanism. Promote the collaborative operation of the Education Technology Talent Work Leading Group, implement a regular consultation mechanism, formulate integrated development work plans and key task lists, promote the resolution of key and difficult issues in integrated development, and build a three in one collaborative development work pattern. Scientifically formulate a task book, timetable, and priority sequence for the integrated reform of the education technology talent system and mechanism, clarify the implementation subjects and responsibilities of each reform, and incorporate the progress of implementation into the content of supervision, inspection, and patrol. The reform will be tested based on actual results and the satisfaction of the people. Deepen the reform of education and scientific research. Improve the layout of higher education, accelerate the construction of Chinese characteristic and world-class universities and advantageous disciplines, promote the reform of universities by classification, establish a discipline setting adjustment mechanism and talent training mode driven by scientific and technological development and national strategic needs. Optimize the organizational mechanism for major scientific and technological innovations, coordinate and strengthen the tackling of key core technologies, promote the systematization, institutionalization, and synergy of scientific and technological innovation forces, factor allocation, and talent teams. Strengthen the construction of national strategic scientific and technological strength, and improve the country
