工程创新视野下的应用基础研究
On Applied Basic Research from the Perspective of Engineering Innovation
摘要
Abstract
Currently,the world is undergoing unprecedented and far-reaching changes,and the competition between countries in the realm of science and technology is intensifying.It is imperative for a nation to achieve a prominent position in international competition that it achieves significant technological breakthroughs.These breakthroughs are reliant on robust support for basic research.However,simply prioritizing the allocation of funds towards basic research,particularly in universities and independent research institutions,although resulting in the generation of new knowledge,may struggle to effectively translate this knowledge into practical applications within the industrial sector.Consequently,this may lead to a phenomenon known as"idle research,"where basic research fails to contribute to the solution of major technical challenges.Therefore,it is crucial to emphasize the significance of"applied basic research",which refers to basic research conducted within engineering application scenarios and geared towards practical engineering applications.Only through this approach can we find better solutions to these challenges. This paper examines the nature and status of applied basic research,explores the relationship between applied basic research and engineering innovation,discusses the governance mechanism of applied basic research,and specifically analyzes the policy issues of applied basic research in China.The findings reveal that applied basic research is the primary battleground for basic research and can be classified into two types:free exploration applied basic research and organized applied basic research.Furthermore,there exists a complex relationship between applied basic research and engineering innovation,which is not a straightforward causal relationship.In terms of governing applied basic research,it is crucial to leverage the advantages of both centralized power,which enables coordinated efforts to achieve significant advancements,and decentralized power,which allows for greater autonomy and initiative.These two approaches complement each other and interact to establish a mutually beneficial"big innovation pattern"for applied basic research.To achieve this,deeper system reforms are necessary to empower Chinese enterprises and industry ministries to take the lead in applied basic research and related major engineering innovations,thereby bearing significant responsibilities,rather than overemphasizing the importance of universities,research institutes and even the Ministry of Science and Technology in innovation activities.Such reforms will effectively reduce institutional barriers and foster true integration between applied basic research and major engineering innovation.关键词
