The development of scientific instrumentation industry needs to guard against arrogance

The state attaches great importance to scientific instruments, and some instrument development companies and original research and development teams have greatly benefited, greatly promoting the development of scientific instruments. However, some units that did not necessarily have the ability to develop have also begun to invest in them. For example, the planning of talents and R&D direction has begun to show quick success.

To implement the National Medium and Long-term Science and Technology Development Plan (2006-2020) and the National Twelfth Five-Year Science and Technology Development Plan, improve the independent innovation capability and self-equipment level of scientific instruments and equipment in China, and support scientific and technological innovation. In terms of service economy and social development, the central government has set up a special national scientific instrument and equipment development project (hereinafter referred to as the special project).

The state attaches great importance to scientific instruments, and some instrument development companies and original research and development teams have greatly benefited, greatly promoting the development of scientific instruments. However, some units that did not necessarily have the ability to develop have also begun to invest in them. Therefore, they have brought out some new problems (may be similar in many fields, some people are omnipotent talents, and which areas have money, he Which field is it?)

1. Scientific instrument development talents are limited, what about talents? Some units started from scratch and immediately recruited people into the army of scientific instrument development, making the original few people more dispersed. Some units raise their wages and raise the cost of talent to a certain height.

On October 30, the Organization Department of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee explained the implementation opinions on promoting the talent agglomeration project. In the next five years, Guangzhou will realize the key introduction and cultivation of about 2,000 high-level talents. The total number of college graduates or above is about 3.2 million people, and initially built an international talent port that radiates South China, serves the whole country, and connects the world.

When this news came out, some netizens pointed out that Guangzhou was quick to make a profit. Coincidentally, on October 18th, the China Youth Daily reported that Liaoning had awarded 5 million yuan to the unit that introduced the Yangtze River Scholars.

Talent cultivation often takes time, and many of them are recruited from talents in electronics, mechanics, optics, and software; it takes time to understand the requirements of the scientific instrument industry. In theory, if these people stay well and become R&D talents for scientific instruments, from the perspective of talent cultivation, it is good in the long run. However, some people will change jobs during the training process. In particular, those who quit the job do not reach a certain level, because they have taken a higher salary and are not willing to accept a new job with a lower salary. It has an impact on the development of the industry and on the development of individuals. The former has raised the wage level of the industry. The latter, it is very likely that this person will find a suitable and satisfactory job in the future.

2. In order to participate in the competition of the project, some units unreasonably increased the indicators of the instruments to be developed, or in order to get the project, constantly propose new concepts. The negative impact is that on the one hand, the leadership believes that the domestic level is really high, it is possible to leapfrog development, and there are unreasonable expectations and expectations. On the other hand, the units that are actually working on the instrument do not necessarily apply for the project, or instead It is considered that the level is not high.

In fact, scientific instrument development requires a good team base and a good industrial base, and both of them are difficult to develop to a higher level in the short term. Scientific instruments are a catch-up process in our country. They come up with instruments of similar level to foreign countries. Even if the performance of the instruments is stable, even if the technical indicators are almost the same, it is already very good. There is already a good reference, and there is no need to mention higher indicators or new concepts.

After more than 30 years of development, China's scientific instrument industry has been developing and producing capacity, but it still faces some problems: the performance index and stability of the instrument, and the reliability are poor; the state has not invested enough in the research and development of scientific instruments; Develop machine technology advantages combined with production.

Therefore, the scientific instrument industry can not become the same as the IT industry, becoming an industry that burns money; the scientific instrument industry cannot be an industry that is quick and profitable.
