[Xinhuanet] Bao Xinhe, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress: Build a team of undistracted and creative scientific and technological talents

Xinhua Beijing, March 10 During the Two sessions in 2022, Bao Xinhe, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of the University of Science and Technology of China, received an interview from Xinhuanet.com. Referring to the proposals put forward at the two sessions this year, Bao Xinhe said that this year's focus on low-carbon energy development strategy, put forward two suggestions: "First, it is recommended to pay attention to the stage of scientific research on coal clean efficiency on the basis of systematic in-depth research." In recent years, we should pay attention to promoting the transformation of energy saving and carbon reduction of coal power and cogeneration, and emphasize the flexible transformation of future-oriented renewable power efficiency rate and efficiency consumption; In the future, we should pay attention to the deep coupling of green electricity and green hydrogen generated by renewable energy, realize the quasi-refining of coal molecules, and gradually realize the near-zero emissions of coal conversion and utilization. Second, it is proposed to combine the efficiency utilization of coal and the development of new efficient heating methods, pay attention to the coupling and complementarization of energy and resources in typical industrial processes, conduct in-depth scientific research and technological research, and vigorously promote energy conservation and carbon reduction in steel, chemical and building materials industries."

Focusing on training scientific and technological talents to support the national development strategy, Bao Xinhe took the training concept of the University of Science and Technology of China as an example to elaborate his own views. He believes that the cultivation of talents should first ensure that the "foundation is generous and solid", and then "involve a wide range of".

"Scientific and technological progress has led to the development of multiple disciplines. Taking medicine as an example, there is a cross integration of multiple disciplines, and a complex problem often involves multiple fields. Bao Xinhe said that the university's talent training should adapt to the needs brought by the progress of science and technology, and on the premise of laying a solid foundation for students' majors, it is necessary to give students space to get involved in other fields, so that the knowledge of different disciplines can be fused to produce chemical reactions, rather than simply superimposed together.

Due to the long period of basic research, many uncertain factors, slow results and other reasons, some people will be more inclined to do hot research or "short and quick" research that is easy to produce results. Bao Xinhe believes that in the current context of "breaking the four only", in order to build a team of undistracted and creative scientific and technological talents, three premises need to be guaranteed. "The first is not to forget the original intention, the second is to keep pace with The Times, the third is to lead the development, so that you can do one thing without distractions."

Bao Xinhe further explained that the "do not forget the original heart" in scientific research requires that scientific and technological workers can calm down between "short and fast" and "long research cycle", clear their own scientific research direction, adhere to their own scientific research direction, go all out, and not go with the flow. "Advancing with The Times" requires scientific and technological workers to refuse to "stand still", to constantly accept new things, pay attention to new changes in relevant research fields, and apply advanced experience in their own research. "Leading development" requires that scientific and technological workers should not only be satisfied with solving problems, but also play a leading and driving role in their own deep fields, and promote the research in related fields to a deeper field. "Undistracted", we must not only have the courage and persistence to sit on the bench, but also have the confidence and action to cover the hot bench.
