Minister of Science and Technology: Grant researchers greater decision-making power over technology routes, scientific research funding allocation, and resource scheduling.

On July 30th, Jin10 News reported that Yin Hejun, Secretary of the Party Group and Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, stated that the next step will be to further stimulate the innovation and creativity of scientific and technological personnel. We will adhere to the principles of delegating power and empowering others, granting scientific researchers greater decision-making power over technical routes, research funding allocation, and resource scheduling, expanding the scope of the ‘responsibility system’, and providing better institutional guarantees for scientific researchers to concentrate on research. We will also implement new methods such as ‘publicly posting positions’, ‘horse racing system’, and ‘chain owner system’, reduce the frequency of assessments, strengthen the assessment of ‘milestone’ Nodes, and improve project implementation performance.
