Main Achievements in administration of Sci-tech Program Projects (2007 & 2008)
The projects included
in the municipal sci-tech program were established and related subsidies granted
according the following principles: to focus on reform and upgrading of industries
with local advantages, giving priorities to the implementation of key sci-tech projects;
to foster emerging industries and develop high-tech ones; to accelerate R&D, promotion
and demonstration of energy-saving and emission-reducing technologies; to promote
sci-tech progress in both agriculture and social development to ensure balanced
development of both local economy and society; and to enhance research capabilities
in soft science. In 2007, subsidies of over RMB 60 million were granted to scientific
research projects, which are more technologically advanced and have contributed
more to the upgrading of local industries than those in last year.
In 2008, a yearly
S & T budget of RMB 74 million was made and implemented for the projects included
in the municipal sci-tech program. The WMSTB conducted innovation in the management
of the funds by taking the following measures: initiatively form-
sulating sci-tech projects according to the city’s needs for S&T development with
financing stress laid on major ones and released 166 such major projects and 61
projects for generic key technologies to openly recruit their undertakers; strengthening
the man-
agement of the sci-tech achievements from the municipal sci-tech program projects;
attaching importance to examine enterpr-
ises’ R&D input in the appraisal for establishing projects they applied for; granting
part of R&D subsidies for projects after they are accomplished instead of giving
all of them before their accomplishment as usual so that the whole process of innovation
chains could be financed by the subsidies; effecting the transition of local governments’
roles from a distributor of R&D funds to a supe-
rvisor over their consumption; actively encouraging private enterprises to apply
for national or provincial sci-tech projects, resulting in their application for
63 projects, the most in the history of the application.
