[Ministry of Science and Technology: Systematic layout of a batch of major national science and technology tasks] September 29th, at the press conference on the theme of "Getting Started with the 15th Five-Year Plan" held by the State Council Information Office today (29th), Minister of Science and Technology Yin Hejun introduced that a batch of major national science and technology tasks will be systematically laid out in close compliance with the requirements of the "15th Five-Year Plan" plan and deployment. The first is to strengthen basic research. Closely follow the world's scientific frontiers and deploy basic theoretical research on mathematical theories and applications, and the control of physical states. Focusing on scientific issues in key fields such as biology, materials, energy, and information, we will deploy basic research tasks such as synthetic biology, materials genome, controllable nuclear fusion, and intelligent scientist systems. The second is in leading scientific and technological research. Focusing on cutting-edge areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and biomanufacturing, key areas such as integrated circuits and industrial motherboards, and strategic areas such as deep sea, deep space, and deep earth, the entire chain will promote key core technology research. The third is to improve the well-being of the people. Focusing on blue sky, clean water and good food, tasks such as environmental pollution prevention and control, resource recycling, agricultural biological breeding, and food safety are deployed; focusing on health, tasks such as innovative drug research and development, high-end medical equipment, and aging response are deployed. The fourth is to ensure the safety of key areas. In response to major natural disasters and extreme climate changes, tasks such as disaster monitoring and early warning, risk prevention and control, emergency rescue, meteorological and ocean forecasting are deployed. In order to improve social security capabilities, tasks such as public health security and production safety are deployed.
