Education, science and technology, and talents are the basic and strategic support for Chinese modernization. A few days ago, the "Implementation Opinions on the Overall Promotion of the Integrated Reform of Education, Science and Technology Talents in Qingdao West Coast New Area" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Opinions") was released, clarifying the overall thinking, main objectives and key tasks of the reform, accelerating the integrated reform of education, science and technology talents, and promoting the priority development of education, self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, and talent-led driving in the West Coast New Area, so as to continuously shape new momentum and new advantages for high-quality development.
The "Implementation Opinions" is the general and guiding document for the new area to promote the integrated reform of education, science and technology talents in the next five years. In terms of overall thinking, we adhere to the system concept and collaborative linkage, adhere to the problem-oriented, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, adhere to the solution-oriented thinking and efficient implementation, promote the deep integration of the education chain, innovation chain, talent chain and industrial chain, comprehensively empower the "5+5+7" industrial system in the new area, and create a new highland for the integration and high-quality development of education, science and technology talents in the new era.
In terms of the main goal, the "Implementation Opinions" proposes that by 2028, an integrated development pattern of education, science and technology talents with "mechanism integration, integration of industry and education, integration of industry and research, integration of industry and talent, and ecological harmony" will be initially formed, and a model and benchmark will be set in the reform of the national comprehensive innovation system and mechanism. Specifically, it is necessary to achieve three more: first, the supporting role of education foundation is more powerful, the transformation mechanism of colleges and universities is gradually improved, vocational education is deeply coupled with the industry of the new area, and more than 20,000 high-quality skilled talents are added every year; Second, the role of science and technology incentives and feedback is stronger, with more than 100 new science and technology innovation platforms above the municipal level, more than 3,600 science and technology enterprises, more than 21 billion yuan in R&D investment of enterprises above the designated size, more than 40 billion yuan in technology contract turnover, and more than 1,000 technology brokers; Third, the leading role of talents has become more prominent, with a total of more than 1.1 million talents, and the talent introduction, education and retention system has become more sound, creating a good innovation and entrepreneurship ecology.
The "Implementation Opinions" mainly cover five major reform actions and 18 key tasks.
