[quick news] Nov. 13, 2019: Ministry of science and technology: support the construction of national synthetic Biotechnology Innovation Center

Ministry of science and technology: Recently, the website of the Ministry of science and technology released a letter on supporting the construction of the national synthetic biotechnology innovation center, agreeing in principle to the construction plan of the national synthetic biotechnology innovation center In response to the letter from Tianjin Municipal People's government and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is pointed out that the layout and construction of the national synthetic biotechnology innovation center is of great strategic and practical significance to break through the bottleneck constraints of China's pharmaceutical, food, petrochemical and other fields of industrial technology, seize the commanding height of global biotechnology and industrial development, and promote the green and sustainable development of economy and society The letter made it clear that the innovation center should take key technology research and development as its core mission, and provide the source technology supply for the development of synthetic biology related industries We need to accelerate the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, build innovation and entrepreneurship incubation service carriers, support scientific researchers to carry out innovation and Entrepreneurship with the transformation of scientific and technological achievements as the core, and cultivate and incubate a number of small and medium-sized scientific and technological enterprises with core competitiveness.

Under the new situation of expanding education and opening up, many universities are actively planning and preparing to "go out" to carry out overseas education activities For more than 20 years, the overseas running of colleges and universities has been advancing in the exploration, and it has gone through the development process from being an administrative examination and approval item of the government to being an autonomous category of running schools without administrative permission According to the data, as of September 2019, China's colleges and universities have held 128 overseas institutions or projects (including 25 ones independently held after the cancellation of approval) These institutions and projects are held in 48 countries and regions in Asia, Europe, the United States and Oceania by 84 colleges and universities in 21 provinces and municipalities in the mainland Relevant data show that some countries and regions have increasingly strong demand for training high-level specialized talents for overseas universities in China, and there are not a few countries and regions that actively invite Chinese government and universities to run overseas schools http://epaper.gmw.cn/gmrb/html/2019-11/12/nw.D110000gmrb_20191112_2-14.htm
