Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Popularization of Science and Technology in the New Era" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), making systematic arrangements for strengthening the popularization of science and technology in the new era and putting forward specific requirements.
In the current context, what is the significance of the issuance of the document? How to understand that science popularization has entered a "new era", and what new tasks are we facing? In response to the difficulties in the development of science popularization, what cracking measures have been revealed in the document? On September 4, a reporter from Science and Technology Daily interviewed Wang Zhigang, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Reporter: What is the background and significance of the "Opinions"?
Wang Zhigang: The CPC Central Committee and the State Council have always attached great importance to popular science. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important instructions for popular science work many times. At the "Three Sessions of Science and Technology" in 2016, he emphasized that "scientific and technological innovation and scientific popularization are the two wings of realizing innovation and development. Scientific and technological innovation is equally important”; at the 2020 Scientist Symposium, it was emphasized that “the guidance and cultivation of scientific interests must start from children”; at the 2021 Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the 10th National Congress of the China Association for Science and Technology. , "to form a fashion of advocating science, so that more young people have scientific dreams and establish innovative aspirations."
The promulgation of the "Opinions" is a practical measure to implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the popularization of science and technology, and it is a programmatic document to guide the popularization of science and technology at present and for a period of time in the future. With the issuance of the "Opinions", the Party Central Committee and the State Council have put forward new and clear requirements for popular science work in the new era, which is a major opportunity to promote the innovative development of popular science in the new era.
Over the years, my country's science popularization has made great progress. Entering a new era, building a world power of science and technology, and achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance have put forward higher requirements for science popularization, and are also the historical mission of scientific and technological innovation entrusted by the times. The "Opinions" focus on solving the problems and institutional obstacles faced by the high-quality development of popular science, provide strong support for the development of popular science, give full play to the important role of popular science in national strategic tasks and missions, and give full play to the role of popular science in cultivating scientific spirit and cultivating scientific and technological innovation talents. It plays an important role in promoting the development of science popularization and effectively serving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance.
Reporter: How do you understand that the popular science work mentioned in the document has entered a "new era"?
Wang Zhigang: From an international perspective, the world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. The international balance of power has been profoundly adjusted. Peace and development are still the themes of the times. The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At the same time, the international environment is becoming increasingly complex, and the international economic, technological, cultural, security, and political patterns are undergoing profound adjustments. The global pandemic of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has accelerated the evolution of this great change. To deal with global issues such as climate change, energy resources, and public health, it is urgent to form a consensus on international science and technology governance. This requires science popularization to better play the role of bridge and link, deepen scientific and cultural exchanges, promote mutual learning among civilizations, learn from more advanced international experience, and share more Chinese scientific and technological achievements with the world. Contribute more "Chinese wisdom" to better serve the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
From a domestic perspective, my country has turned to a stage of high-quality development, with significant institutional advantages, improved governance efficiency, long-term economic growth, solid material foundation, abundant human resources, broad market space, strong development resilience, and a stable social situation. Continued development has many aspects. advantages and conditions. However, the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development in my country is still prominent, the task of reforming key links in key areas is still arduous, and the innovation capability does not meet the requirements of high-quality development. In order to implement the major decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and promote high-quality development, it is necessary to give full play to the cornerstone role of science popularization in the innovative development of Ceyuan, build the strategic support of "soft power" for popular science, and better serve economic and social development .
