This general report, sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, presents a pa-noramic scenario for Chinas modernization drive to 2050. It analyzes the evolution and laws governing the development of science and technology, describes the decisive impact of science and technology on the modernization process, predicts that the world is on the eve of an impending S&T revolution, and calls for China to be ful-ly prepared for this new round of S&T advancement. Based on its detailed study of the demands on S&T innovation in Chinas modernization, it draws a framework for eight basic and strategic systems of socio-economic development with the support of science and technology, works out Chinas S&T roadmaps for the relevant eight basic and strategic systems in line with Chinas reality, further details S&T initiatives of stra-tegic importance to Chinas modernization, and provides S&T decision-makers with comprehensive consultations for the development of S&T innovation consistent with Chinas reality. Supported by illustrations and tables of data, the general report pro-vides researchers, government officials and even entrepreneurs with guidance con-cerning research directions, the planning process, and investment. It also serves as a preamble for the eighteen detailed field-specific reports of the committees assigned to craft roadmaps for each sphere of development.
Founded in 1949, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the nations highest academic institution in the natural sciences. Its major responsibilities are to conduct research in basic and technological sciences, to undertake nationwide integrated surveys on natural resources and ecological environment, to provide the country with scientific data and consultations for governments decision-makings, to undertake government-assigned projects with regard to key S&T problems in the process of socio-economic development, to initiate personnel training, and to promote Chinas high-tech enter-prises through its active engagement in these areas.
