On August 5th, the website of the Ministry of Science and Technology announced Order No. 23, "Decision of the Ministry of Science and Technology on Abolishing Some Regulations" and "Decision of the Ministry of Science and Technology on Declaring Invalid Normative Documents". This is a centralized review of policy documents by the Ministry of Science and Technology since the comprehensive launch of a new round of technological system reform. Previously, the Ministry of Science and Technology conducted three rounds of cleaning up of science and technology policy documents. The cleaning up of science and technology policy documents is an important foundational work to implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourse on scientific and technological innovation, and to eliminate institutional barriers to scientific and technological innovation from the source. ”On August 5th, a person in charge of the Second Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology said in an interview with reporters that currently, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, and technological innovation has entered an unprecedented period of intensive activity. This means adapting to changes in the situation and the requirements of productivity development, constantly adjusting and improving corresponding policies, continuously deepening the reform of management systems and mechanisms, and fully mobilizing and stimulating the enthusiasm and creativity of innovative entities. In recent years, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has kept pace with the times to adjust and improve the leadership system for science and technology. The Ministry of Science and Technology and related departments have conscientiously implemented the requirements of reform deployment, comprehensively strengthened the coordination of policy measures, adhered to deepening reform to stimulate innovation vitality, formulated a number of policy documents such as "Several Policy Measures to Accelerate the Construction of a Science and Technology Financial System to Strongly Support High level Science and Technology Independence and Self improvement", and revised and improved management systems such as "Interim Measures for the Management of National Key Research and Development Plans". In this context, some old policy documents have been replaced and some businesses have been adjusted. To ensure the integrity, effectiveness, and synergy of the science and technology policy system, the Ministry of Science and Technology has conducted a centralized cleaning of existing effective regulations and normative documents. Following the requirements of abolishing all regulations and making all necessary changes, it has decided to abolish 5 regulations and declare 76 invalid normative documents. Relevant departments have also simultaneously carried out "rectification and abolition". When it comes to how to make good policies more beneficial to innovation entities and researchers in the future, the relevant person in charge of the Second Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology stated that the Ministry of Science and Technology will fully implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the National Science and Technology Conference, closely track the development trend of science and technology, continuously strengthen the coordination and implementation of science and technology policy measures, and further create a favorable institutional environment for innovation. We will anchor the goal of building a strong country in science and technology, deepen the reform of the science and technology system, coordinate and promote the 'reform and abolition' of science and technology policies, strengthen the review and control of the consistency between various policies and scientific and technological innovation, promote the linkage, coordination, and functional complementarity between science and technology policies and related policies such as finance, education, talent, industry, and finance, and promote the filling of gaps, streamlining and systematizing of science and technology policies, forming a joint force to promote scientific and technological innovation. ”The person in charge said that at the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the promotion and implementation of science and technology policies, provide more precise and detailed guidance for innovation entities to understand and enjoy policies, and promote the precise and efficient delivery of policy dividends to various innovation entities. The reporter learned that in the future, the Ministry of Science and Technology will strengthen the regular monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of science and technology policies, identify policy bottlenecks, gaps, and problems in implementation, and improve the policy "evaluation feedback adjustment" chain; Guide and support local and departmental science and technology policy pilot programs, establish a mechanism for summarizing and evaluating policies that have been implemented and are suitable for replication, promote pilot policies with good results in a timely manner, and promote their solidification into laws and regulations in a timely manner.
