Characteristics of engineering consulting units in scientific research departments
Generally speaking, all kinds of engineering design institutes have strong design work strength in their respective professional fields and accumulated good performance. Therefore, when some investment owners or project construction units need to carry out engineering consultation or pre-project work, they often entrust engineering design units to complete it, so as to maintain the continuity of future engineering design and construction. Of course, there are also investors or project construction units who like to go to engineering consulting units in scientific research departments. So, what is the reason?
As we all know, scientific research institutes are also divided into basic theoretical research and applied research. As a research unit focusing on applied research (including applied basic theory research), its main task is to carry out a series of scientific research activities based on the discipline field of the unit, combined with major scientific and technological problems related to national economic construction or technical problems that need to be solved urgently, and finally put forward scientific research achievements needed by national economic construction in the form of new technologies, new processes, new methods and new materials. Some investors are beginning to realize the important role of science and technology in the national economy. They realize that if they want to occupy a favorable position in the highly competitive market, they must choose those high-tech and good-growth technology industries to invest, so as to get rich investment returns. Therefore, we seek engineering technical advice from scientific research departments, hoping that they can recommend some scientific research achievements that are mature or will soon have industrialization conditions. Some owners are eager to establish cooperative relations with scientific research departments for long-term benefits, and even invest in research and development, so as to enjoy scientific research results in the future. This combination of Industry-University-Research will also shorten the cycle of industrialization of science and technology.
From the scientific research department itself, with the deepening of the reform of the scientific and technological system, some researchers engaged in applied research are working hard in scientific research every day. If they can't come up with a decent result recognized by the society (which can be tested by the market), they have objectively proved that all their work is invalid. Therefore, they pay close attention to market trends from the beginning of the topic selection, strengthen investigation and research, and always test whether each step of their research and development can stand the test of the market and whether future achievements can play a role in national economic construction. Therefore, in the process of research and development, they hope to get the cooperation of engineering consulting units who are familiar with the market dynamics and understand the engineering construction business, and help them bring scientific research results to the market in time. Engineering consulting units play a bridge role between investment and construction departments and scientific research departments, and promote scientific research achievements to the main battlefield of national economic construction.
The involvement of engineering consultation in scientific research activities can shorten the cycle of scientific research industry.
Scientific research activities have an inherent set of procedures. For example, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to go through laboratory tests, small tests, pilot tests and industrial tests, and the whole research and development cycle is long. Under the planned economy system in the past, most research topics were arranged from top to bottom. The research method used by researchers is how to explore scientific laws, draw several curves and write several academic papers. Judging from his knowledge and experimental methods, he can be said to be very expert, but he knows little about engineering construction knowledge and market knowledge, so his research ideas are often divorced from production practice, and he is good at getting into the dead end, which makes his research results put into production practice.
At present, engineering consulting units are generally equipped with information collection, processing and transmission equipment, and some units have also established their own databases. Most technical and economic professionals have rich reading ability in their research work. They not only have a scientific knowledge base, but also have knowledge of engineering construction and economy. If these engineering consultants participate in scientific research activities, they can give full play to their professional advantages and help R&D activities. For example, in the project initiation stage, the background information such as the development trend of science and technology at home and abroad, some key problems that need to be solved urgently in national economic construction, the current situation of market supply and demand, and the forecast of development prospects are provided to scientific researchers, and based on the frontier of scientific and technological development, research topics that are close to the needs of national economy and have development prospects are selected. Another example is to conduct a follow-up technical and economic evaluation at each stage of the experimental research process, analyze the various components of the research object, find out the key links, and focus on research and solution. For example, when studying a chemical process, there are thermodynamic problems, kinetic problems, catalyst screening problems, reactor structure problems and raw material purity problems. We can't study every aspect by permutation and combination, but we should grasp the key links to study and solve key problems. For another example, when the test reaches a certain stage, through technical and economic analysis, it is found that the existing test results can meet the purpose of practical application, or at most, it is enough to supplement some data, and there is no need to carry out the next stage of the test. In addition, it may be found that the project is too far from the actual application requirements, and the research and development work can be stopped immediately to avoid unnecessary waste. In short, in the process of experimental research, with the help of technical and economic analysis, we can judge the effect of experimental research at any time, simplify the experimental process and shorten the cycle of scientific and technological industrialization.
Give full play to the intermediary role of engineering consultation in scientific and technological innovation
At present, the world has entered the era of knowledge economy, and the competition between enterprises and even countries is based on knowledge resources. Knowledge economy must be a global economy. The trend of economic globalization continues to develop, the world's scientific and technological progress is advancing by leaps and bounds, and the competition for comprehensive national strength is becoming increasingly fierce. The focus of international competition is no longer the final product of a certain production activity, but the result of a certain knowledge activity. It is found that the front of competition has moved forward to the stage of product development or even basic research.
China's national economy is mainly in the form of industrial economy, which is currently in the period of economic transformation, that is, from the development stage with resource consumption and capital investment as the main driving force. Innovation is not a simple scientific and technological problem, but a series of activities from the emergence of new ideas to the design, trial production, production, marketing and marketization of products. It is also a process of knowledge creation, transformation and application, and its essence is the production and commercial application of new technologies. Now the state proposes to speed up the construction of a national innovation system, which refers to the network formed by the interaction of relevant departments and institutions within the country. It is necessary to create a policy environment conducive to innovation at all levels, so that innovation becomes the conscious action of every economic and social component and the conscious driving force of social and economic progress. Only in this way can the competitiveness and comprehensive national strength of the whole country be improved. From the composition of the national innovation system, enterprises, scientific research institutions, universities, intermediaries and government departments are the main departments of the innovation system.
Undoubtedly, enterprises engaged in innovation under the incentive of market mechanism are the main body of innovation investment, operation and income. Scientific research institutions and universities are important sources of technological innovation, and scientific knowledge is the basis for the development of technological knowledge. In today's era of knowledge economy, scientific research institutions and universities are playing an increasingly important role in the national innovation system. Intermediary is an important link to communicate knowledge flow, especially between scientific research departments and small and medium-sized enterprises. Many countries regard the construction of intermediary institutions as an important way for the government to promote the diffusion of knowledge and technology. With its unique functions, government departments plan and guide the production, dissemination and application of scientific and technological knowledge as a whole.
Since the reform and opening up 20 years ago, China's innovation system has begun to take shape. He has made positive contributions to the country in terms of prospering science and technology, cultivating talents, developing economy and national defense. Meanwhile, there are still some problems. For example, in the process of innovation, the interactive relationship between government and market has not yet been established; The main position of enterprises as technological innovation has not really been established; At a high level, the system problem of combining science and technology with economy has not been well solved; Intermediary institutions and supporting service systems are still weak and cannot meet the needs of technological innovation of enterprises.
Engineering consulting unit is the link between scientific research institutions and small and medium-sized enterprises.
After years of scientific and technological system reform, especially since the pilot work of knowledge innovation project was carried out in depth, great changes have taken place in China's scientific and technological front, and a large number of scientific research institutes affiliated to state ministries and commissions have entered the main battlefield of national economic construction; The innovation pilot orientation of Chinese Academy of Sciences is to establish a national base in the fields of basic research and strategic high technology. After three years of reform, on the basis of reducing institutions, streamlining personnel and optimizing personnel structure, a capable scientific and technological team will be stabilized.
Generally speaking, national scientific research institutions must have a high-quality scientific and technological team as the main force of basic research and strategic high-tech research; It has a well-equipped national key laboratory and a relatively complete pilot or industrialization base for R&D facilities; Have the ability to undertake and successfully complete major national scientific research projects and engage in scientific and technological innovation. As far as China's actual situation is concerned, only a few large enterprises or super-large enterprises have established their own scientific research bases, with huge funds and technical talents, engaged in product innovation and large-scale technological innovation, and implemented technological innovation strategies. For a large number of central enterprises, except for small science and technology enterprises, they generally do not have the ability of technological innovation. It is also an important form for our country to promote the scientific and technological innovation system and give full play to the main role of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation if we rely on intermediary institutions such as engineering consulting units and make use of the strength advantages of one party's scientific and technological innovation and the favorable parts of the other party's technical innovation implementation base to establish a close cooperative relationship with Industry-University-Research.
