[Shi Yigong: West Lake University abandons quantitative indicators for scientific research and does not set up scientific research awards] On September 19, at the 6th New Cornerstone 50² Forum, Shi Yigong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of West Lake University, said that the current total number of teachers and students at West Lake University is 5,000, and is expected to reach 7,200 in 2030, which is about one-tenth of the size of similar domestic research universities. He mentioned the new science and technology evaluation standards of West Lake University: abandoning the "four principles", giving up quantitative indicators for scientific research, and not setting up any form of scientific research rewards. Teachers at Westlake University are not allowed to hold part-time jobs, and there are no internal scientific and technological rewards of any kind. There is no annual scientific research evaluation of assistant professors, associate professors, and professors' articles. Instead, they adopt a style of fighting for scientific issues.
