The transformation ability of scientific and technological achievements is an important part of a region's innovation ability and a powerful driving force to promote economic and social development. Colleges and universities are the main body of scientific and technological achievements transformation. Accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in colleges and universities is conducive to promoting scientific and technological progress, enhancing the ability of basic industries and the modernization level of industrial chains, and cultivating new kinetic energy for development.
As a major province of science and education, the number of R&D personnel, R&D funds, R&D projects, patent applications and authorizations of universities are among the highest in China. However, the number, contract amount and patent conversion rate of science and technology export contracts in colleges and universities in our province rank lower in the whole country, which shows that the quantity, quality and efficiency of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in colleges and universities need to be improved.
There are many factors restricting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in colleges and universities, one of which is the lack of incentive mechanism for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. For a long time, there have been some outstanding problems in the evaluation mechanism of science and technology in colleges and universities, such as emphasizing individuals over teams, emphasizing standards over project papers over achievements transformation, and single evaluation subject and method, which have restricted the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
From June 5438 to June 2020 10, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued a general plan for deepening the reform of educational evaluation in the new era, proposing "to improve the evaluation of scientific research of university teachers, highlight quality orientation, and pay attention to evaluating academic and social contributions". Colleges and universities in our province should take this opportunity to deepen the reform of scientific and technological evaluation, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, give full play to the advantages of higher education resources in our province, and better serve the implementation of the strategy of "three highs and four innovations".
