What are the highlights of the opinions? How to adapt to the new trend of the Internet era? How to build a big science pattern of co -participation of the whole society? At the State New Office conference held on the 5th, the person in charge of the relevant departments answered.

Strengthen popular science supply to adapt to the new trend of informatization

Scientific and technological innovation and science popularization are the wings of innovation and development. In recent years, my country's popular science capacity building has achieved remarkable results. The proportion of citizens' scientific quality has increased from 3.27%in 2010 to 10.56%in 2020. Science popularization has provided effective support for the construction of innovative countries and the realization of high -quality economic and social development.

"The introduction of opinions shows the high attention of the Party Central Committee for popular science work, and also reflects the increasing importance of the popularization of popular science work support and serving the overall situation of national scientific and technological innovation in the new era." Li Meng, deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

As a programmatic document that promotes the high -quality development of science popularization in the new era, the opinions have proposed that by 2025, citizens will have a scientific quality ratio of more than 15%; by 2035, citizens will have a scientific quality ratio of 25%.

According to reports, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of my country, the content form of popular science spread in China has become increasingly rich. Popular science and science fiction works have shown a diverse and popular development trend. The plane is developing in the direction of digitalization and intelligence in line and offline. The opinions put forward the full use of information technology, further promoting the development of science popularization informatization, and vigorously develop online popularization.

"Opinions adapt to the trend of networking and intelligence, the concepts and methods of innovating popular science work, emphasizing full use of information technology, continuously enriching the form and communication channels of science popularization works, so that the public continues to improve scientific literacy in the process of in -depth experience and interaction." Li Meng said.

Meng Qinghai, the vice chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology and Secretary of the Secretariat, said that in order to implement the requirements of the good opinions, the Chinese Association of Science and Technology will increase the supply of high -quality science popularization resources, focus on the creation of science popularization short videos, and promote high -quality popular science creation action plans. Joint mainstream media and online platforms to jointly implement the "science popularization China" platform construction project and "science popularization China" creation joint operation to provide the whole society with more and more high -quality popular science resources supply.

Grasp the shortcomings of popular science and push key measures

In recent years, my country's popular science industry has flourished, but issues such as insufficient popularization of popular science venues, insufficient emerging industries and cutting -edge science science popularization, and insufficient emergency science popularization have still existed.

From "encouraging the construction of science popularization bases with geographical, industry, disciplines, etc.", "comprehensively improving the service capabilities of science and technology museums" to "focusing on strategic -oriented basic research and cutting -edge technologies such as technology innovation, targeted science popularization" "Promoting science and technology science popularization change"……

"Opinions adhere to the problem -oriented, and focus on solving the prominent problems, shortcomings, and deficiencies facing the current popular science work." Li Meng said that focusing on the issue of restricting the healthy development of the science popularization cause, the opinions have proposed a series of targeted measures.

For example, while in -depth popularization of popularization of science popularization in my country and the general public, false popular science information and scientific rumors have also circulated in the network space. In this regard, the opinions required to strengthen the construction and supervision of science popularization positions. In the name of rectifying the name of popular science, they deceived the masses in the name of science, disrupting society, and affecting stability.

Wang Ting, director of the China Institute of Science, said that in August 2019, the Chinese Association of Science and Technology and the Department of Emergency Management and other departments on the Science and Health Commission and the Emergency Management Department launched a scientific rumor platform to organize scientists to carry out rumors in a timely manner. As of July this year, the platform has released 3911 rumors, with a total number of users of 7.56 million, and the cumulative amount and topic of topics have exceeded 7.32 billion times.

In order to maintain clear network space and improve the scientific quality of the whole people, the next step, the Chinese Association for Science and Technology will continue to promote the construction of scientific rumors, continue to build a team of experts, enhance platform professional capabilities, strengthen cooperation with social groups and media platforms, create core competitiveness, improve Platform operation mechanism.

Build the whole society to participate in the new pattern of popular science

Creating a social atmosphere of popular science is of great significance for promoting the popularization of science and the improvement of the scientific quality of citizens. According to opinions, by 2025, the role of popular science service innovation and development has improved significantly, and the large science popularization pattern of science and science in the whole society will be accelerated.

"In 2020, the government's funding is about 80%." Li Meng said that it is necessary to further formulate policy measures and encourage and guide social funds to invest in science popularization through the construction of science popularization venues, set up science popularization funds, and popular science activities.

The opinions are put forward to promote the integration of science popularization into all aspects of economic and social development, strengthen collaborative linkage and resource sharing; formulate policies and measures to encourage social forces to establish science popularization services in accordance with the law. Wu Yuanbin, director of science and technology talents and science and technology popularization of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that it is necessary to cultivate and strengthen the popular science industry and promote the integration and development of science popularization and culture, tourism, and sports.
