The Paper was informed at the scene that since 2018, the China Association for Science and Technology has mobilized science and technology workers extensively and organized national societies, society consortiums and enterprise science and technology associations to continuously carry out collection activities for major scientific issues, engineering technical problems and industrial technology issues.

In 2023, Wan Gang, Chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology, served as the director of the final selection committee for major issues , emphasizing the importance of identifying the cutting-edge, strategic, innovative, and leading nature of the issue, grasping the development trend of science and technology and the direction of frontier development of disciplines, and ensuring steady service to scientific and technological workers. To serve the country and the people as the rudder.

This year’s collection and release event received a total of 590 questions and problems recommended by 89 national societies and societies, and some corporate science and technology associations, covering basic mathematics, physics and chemistry, earth science, ecological environment, manufacturing technology, information technology, advanced materials, resources Ten major fields including energy, agricultural technology, life and health, and aerospace technology. During the collection process, extensive mobilization was further carried out, and a group of well-known academicians, experts and overseas science and technology organizations were called on to participate in the concise recommendation of difficult issues through targeted invitations and other methods; during the selection process, high-level expert evaluation and guidance were further highlighted, including the China Association for Science and Technology’s academic exchanges and 117 academicians and experts, including members of the Journal Publication Committee, conducted strict evaluation and inspection through re-selection, final selection and other links.

Over the past six years since the event was implemented, more than 150 national societies, leading enterprise science and technology associations and other organizations have selected and recommended 3,362 forward-looking, innovative and leading issues. A number of national societies have established a release mechanism for issues in this field, and focused on The released issues carry out academic exchanges, think tank advice, popular science interpretation and collaborative research. The China Association for Science and Technology will continue to track the issues and problems released, guide scientific and technological workers to carry out original and leading research, and accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.
