• Core of the strategy:
Strength interaction between S&T innovation with the social and economical development
Break through the core and key technological bottleneck for future.
Improve the talent system
Build favorable policy environment.
Upgrade S&T openness and cooperation level
• Special Strategies: Internet +, Made in China 2025 etc.
The innovation-driven development strategy
The innovation-driven development strategy
Become one of top countries
with strong S&T innovation
and output to society.
Become one of leading
countries in innovation
Enter the teams
of innovative
nations

In May 2016, the Chinese government published the Outline of the
National Strategy of Innovation-Driven Development, which maps out
three major steps to promote the country’s innovation-driven development.
The national strategic goals
• Strengthening the reform of S&T project management and
improving the S&T fund application benefit in public finance
• Improving S&T macro management system, such as the
governance, scientific organization system and collaborative
innovation of industry, university and research
• Improving the cultivation and mobility mechanism of
innovative talents and forming the favorable atmosphere
beneficial to talent innovation and creation
• Intensifying the construction of S&T basic system and
promoting the opening and sharing of S&T resources
▓Deepening the Reform of S&T System and
Establishing the National Innovation System
2. Reform: Governance of S&T Innovation System in China

The 13th Five-Year Development Plan
of the National Natural Science Fund of
China
The NSFC – which is the major strategic support
for fostering innovation and supports the national
strategic goals – published the 13th Five-Year
Development Plan for National Natural Science
Fund in June 2016, which aims to promote basic
science in China and encourage innovation.
NSFC’s Mission
Support basic researches
Foster talented researchers
Strengthen international cooperation
Promote social and economic development
Strategic orientation: three concentrations
▓ Concentrating efforts on forward-looking deployment:
from the view of long term, cultivate new disciplinary
growth points, focus on major scientific issues, carry out
preliminary research, and nurture next generation talent for
national economic and social development.
▓ Concentrating efforts on scientific breakthroughs:
provide more fund to support cutting-edge scientific
research and encourage scientists to carry out important
research work.
▓ Concentrating efforts on precise management: integrate
using of funding tools, optimize the review process to
reflect the disciplinary differences, enhance efficiency and
performance.
Funding system: 4-in-1

Focusing on pushing the boundaries of
science and strengthening planning
Strengthening intellectual support
and fostering scientific talents
development of scientific
instruments and facilities
for novel researches
Focus on some key themes
and promote
interdisciplinary research
Promote cooperation
partnerships on a global scale
Strategic Goal: Three Parallels
Some special funding policy
• Create more opportunities for young scientists for their early research, especial after their PhD degrees and Post –Doctoral researches.
• More concern to women talents, including top women scientists.
• Concern to local researchers and excellent teams for some “under-developing” areas.
• more problem-oriented researches and innovation-driven development, with different merit reviews.
• stronger linkage to social and economical development, including joint fund with big enterprises.
• focus on priorities for some big and integrated issues
• Initial some new fundamental centers for frontiers
-------------------------
• Maintain enough concerns to the bottom-up ideas and curious-driven researches
• Balance the themes researches and the discipline
developments, to promote interdisciplinary researches
Priorities connect to disciplines
▓ Disciplines is important fundamentals for S&T developments.
▓ NSFC issued strategies for 18 disciplines, such as
mathematics, physics, chemistry, nano science, life, medicine
sciences, earth, space, marine, resources and environmental
sciences, and materials, energy, engineering, information, data
and computing sciences, and management science.
▓ Focus on16 interdisciplinary priority areas and 118
disciplinary priority issues in the 13th Five-Year period.
• Inner -
• Inter -
• Trans -
• Merge -
The NSFC’s institutional development vision
▓ Be FRIEND of scientists
• More flexible in management of S&T funding, to cut down unnecessary evaluations, so that scientists have more times to do research.
• Share more information among different funding agencies.
• More concern to scientific integrity and research credit.
Thank you!
