On September 5, the National New Affairs Office held a new era to strengthen the popularization of science and technology. Li Meng, deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that at the time of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Office and the National Office issued the "About the new era about the new era. The Opinions of Further Strengthening the popularization of science and technology "demonstrate the importance of the Party Central Committee's high attention to popular science work, and also reflect the increasing importance of the support of science popularization work support and serving the overall situation of national scientific and technological innovation in the new era.

How to put science popularization in the same important position as scientific and technological innovation? Li Meng pointed out that the "Opinions" put forward the work ideas, institutional arrangements, and policy measures of "equivalent and important". In particular, they pay special attention to emphasizing the strengthening of institutional guarantees, and requiring party committees and governments at all levels to ensure investment in science popularization. Improve the incentive mechanism of science popularization, strengthen the supervision and evaluation of science popularization work, improve the law system of science popularization, and actively promote the revision of the "Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China". in

"Adhere to the problem orientation and focus on solving the outstanding problems, shortcomings and shortcomings facing the current popular science work." Li Meng takes insufficient coverage of popular science venues as an example. At present, there are more than 1,500 scientific and technological venues in the country, and the number of venues is far lower than the public. In actual needs, most venues are comprehensive venues. The content form is relatively single, and the attractiveness and appeal need to be further improved. Some venues even have problems with inaccurate content. in

To this end, the "Opinions" specifically proposed that it is necessary to encourage the construction of science popularization bases with regional, industry, and disciplines to comprehensively improve the service capabilities of science venue. in

It is worth noting that the current emerging industries and scientific research science and technology are insufficient. "Many of our cutting -edge popular sciences are greatly promoted through hot issues. For example, the new crown epidemic has brought about the popularity of virus." Li Meng admits that the phenomenon of widespread popularity among the public through hot issues such as virus communication can be seen. Out, the general public urgently needs to understand the latest knowledge of cutting -edge, because if you do not understand the situation and do not understand the advantages and disadvantages, it will cause some confusion. in

The "Opinions" emphasized that it is necessary to play the leading role of scientific and technological innovation in popular science work, focus on basic research and cutting -edge fields, popularize new scientific discovery and new technological achievements to the public, and promote popularization of science and technology resources. in

Facing the problem of insufficient emergency science science, especially the professional fields of emergency avoidance and emergency rescue in fire prevention, shock -proof, epidemic prevention, flood prevention, drought resistance, etc., "Opinions" clearly clearly that the competent authorities of various industries must strengthen the coordination of the organization and coordination of science popularization work in the industry field. , Service guidance, public emergency, supervision and evaluation. It is necessary to establish an emergency science science mechanism and coordinate daily and emergency science. in

Talking about how to build a socialized science popularization development pattern of coordinated promotion of the government, society, and markets, Li Meng said that the Ministry of Science and Technology will promote the implementation from five aspects: line-height = "29.75">

Relying on the national science popularization work joint meeting mechanism, we will strengthen the coordination of science popularization work. Strengthen the responsibility of key departments, promote the formation of a coordinated promotion mechanism with clear division of labor, resource sharing, and complementary advantages, set up the science and popularization projects of the central land and department, and build a popular science work pattern of upper and lower links and a nationwide chess. The joint meeting mechanism of the popular science work is led by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Central Propaganda Department, and the Chinese Association of Science and Technology. More than 40 departments participated. As long as these 40 departments take the lead in implementing the "Opinions", I believe the "Opinions" will quickly land and produce results. in

Give full play to the role of online popular science forces. Network space has become an important position for science popularization. It is necessary to support and cultivate the network science popularization team as an important new forces, guide them to spread positive energy, enhance science, and serve the masses more conveniently. Of course, it is necessary to rectify the contents of anti -science and pseudo -science in the network dissemination, and to deceive the masses in the name of popular science, disturb the society, and affect stability.
launched a batch of infectious and influential popular science works. Focusing on the "four aspects", focusing on cutting -edge technology that involves a wide range of faces, great influence, and high public concern, such as green dual carbon, artificial intelligence, gene editing, quantum technology, high -speed mobile network, etc. Customized and special methods have launched a number of high -quality popular science works that promote positive energy and public likes, and vigorously enhance the original ability of science popularization in my country. At the same time, we must pay attention to discovering and cultivating popular science creative talents. in

Support the construction of high -level professional science venues. We are studying and carrying out the improvement of the content of popular science venues, enhancing the accuracy and popularity of the display content, and continuously improving the ability and intelligence level of science and technology venues. To plan to build a national science popularization base system that meets the requirements of the new era, on the basis of building a national science popularization base with various departments and localities, a number of scene bases representing national levels and the public in -depth participation in interaction must be launched. Work. In particular, we must vigorously promote the patriotic spirit of the older generation of scientists with the motherland and scientifically reporting to the country. Base, we must deeply excavate and widely publicize, support these venues to carry out various forms of popular science, and achieve the purpose of combining patriotism education and science education. in

Create a social atmosphere that pays attention to science popularization. Science popularization must have a deep social foundation and social atmosphere. Therefore, the "Opinions" encourages social forces to invest in the establishment of science popularization. We must encourage and guide social funds to invest in science popularization venues, set up popular science funds, and carry out various forms of popular science activities to invest in science popularization. It is also necessary to build a popular science forum with international influence to enhance the international influence of Chinese science popularization; support large scientists to talk about science popularization, support foreign scientists to tell science, and tell Chinese science and technology stories and Chinese stories.
