Vigorously implement the innovation-driven development strategy, using scientific and technological innovation to spur comprehensive innovation, unleashing innovative momentum through reforms of systems and mechanisms, and building a dynamic system for scientific and technological innovation as well as a robust talent-development framework. Fully leverage the supporting and leading role of scientific and technological innovation in the cause of land and resources, and by— 2020 Year “ Three deep, one earth ” In several fields, our innovation capabilities have joined the ranks of those of advanced nations.  

　　9 Moon 1 On [date], the Ministry of Natural Resources issued the “Several Opinions on Accelerating the Promotion of Scientific and Technological Innovation” (hereinafter referred to as the “Several Opinions”). The “Several Opinions” clearly outline the goals to be achieved by [date]. 2020 Year, 2030 Year, 2050 Annual Land and Resources Technological Innovation “ Three-step approach ” Strategic objectives call for adhering to principles such as reform-driven leadership, talent priority, innovation incentives, and coordinated planning. All levels of administrative departments responsible for land and resources are required to place technological innovation at the core of their overall development efforts and comprehensively achieve the set goals. “ 13th Five-Year Plan ” Even longer-term tasks in scientific and technological innovation.

　　The "Several Opinions" total 9 Department 27 The guiding principle is to vigorously implement an innovation-driven development strategy, using scientific and technological innovation to spur comprehensive innovation, unleashing innovative momentum through reforms of systems and mechanisms, and building a dynamic system for scientific and technological innovation as well as talent-development mechanisms. This will enable scientific and technological innovation to play a supporting and leading role in the cause of land and resources.

　　The specific development goals for accelerating technological innovation include: by... 2020 Year, deep-earth exploration, deep-sea exploration, deep-space Earth observation, and land engineering technology “ Three deep, one earth ” In several fields, our innovation capabilities have risen to the ranks of those in advanced countries, yielding a series of groundbreaking achievements in fundamental theories, technological methods, and instrumental equipment. A comprehensive regulatory system integrating land quantity, quality, and ecology has been largely established; significant breakthroughs have been made in key technologies for deep-energy resource exploration and development, as well as in the utilization of underground space. Innovation resources have been effectively concentrated, and national-level innovation platforms—such as key national laboratories and engineering technology centers—have been set up in specialized fields. High-caliber leading talents and outstanding young professionals have emerged, and an innovative ecosystem featuring synergistic collaboration among industry, academia, research, and application, as well as the integration of investigation and research, has been basically established. The technical standards and quality-testing systems for land and resources have become more sophisticated, and public awareness and understanding of land and resource issues have significantly improved. Driven by vigorous innovation, technological advancement has become a major force propelling the development of land and resource endeavors.

　　To 2030 Year, in “ Three deep, one earth ” Its innovation capabilities in key fields have entered the forefront of advanced nations, and some areas of strength are... “ Parallel ” Become “ Lead the way ” The integrated regulatory system for land—covering quantity, quality, and ecology—is operating efficiently, and deep-earth space exploration and resource utilization have reached internationally advanced levels. The innovation platform system is fully established, innovation resources are efficiently concentrated, and innovative capabilities have been comprehensively enhanced.

　　To 2050 Year, in “ Three deep, one earth ” The field has entered the world's leading ranks and is making contributions to building China into a global science and technology powerhouse.

　　To achieve the above-mentioned goals, the "Several Opinions" put forward a number of new initiatives. For instance, in terms of upholding reform as the driving force, efforts will be focused on addressing institutional and systemic issues that constrain the vitality of scientific and technological innovation, improving management approaches, and shifting the role of science and technology authorities from project management to innovation services, thereby enhancing the autonomy of grassroots units in innovation. The administrative tendencies in the management of research institutes will be reformed, respecting the researchers’ primary role in innovation and ensuring that administrative decisions do not replace academic ones. Furthermore, efforts will be made to promote the deep integration of resource surveys and scientific research.

　　Regarding the priority given to talent, the "Several Opinions" propose strengthening the development of leading talents and innovative teams, innovating mechanisms for cultivating young scientific and technological talents, and encouraging competition and mobility among science and technology innovation professionals. Project leaders will be granted greater authority over the allocation of personnel, funding, and resources, as well as greater decision-making power over technical approaches. In innovative teams... 40 The proportion of young researchers under the age of [age] should be no less than [percentage]. 1/3 Outstanding young researchers may, in accordance with relevant national regulations, compete for professional and technical positions at a higher rank than their current level. With approval, researchers may take their projects and research findings to enterprises to engage in scientific and technological innovation activities. 3 Retain benefits for the remainder of the year.

　　Regarding the promotion of innovation incentives, the "Several Opinions" propose incorporating performance in the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements into the unit’s performance evaluation system. Personnel who have made significant contributions to the completion and commercialization of scientific and technological achievements shall receive rewards and remuneration accounting for no less than a certain proportion of the revenue generated from the commercialization of such achievements. 50% All income generated from the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements shall be retained by the unit itself. Implement the legal entity’s autonomy in managing research funding, expand the autonomy in selecting and employing scientific and technological talents, and effectively utilize policies that provide stable support for research.

　　Regarding the principle of coordinated and integrated development, the "Several Opinions" propose strengthening overall planning, coordinating innovation resources, and implementing... “ Three deep, one earth ” A strategy for science and technology innovation, with emphasis on strengthening the construction of science and technology innovation platforms (bases), etc. We will strive to establish a number of national key laboratories in fields such as continental dynamics, mineral resources, karst geology, hydrogeology, geophysics, geochemistry, and land resources; cultivate and reinforce several national engineering and technology research centers; set up an information system for scientific and technological achievements in land and resource management; and fully leverage... “ A best-of-three match ” The role of the coordinated mechanism for the operational application of land and ocean observation satellites. In addition, we should promote international cooperation in scientific and technological innovation and actively participate in the formulation of international rules and standards in emerging fields such as deep earth, deep sea, deep space, and polar regions.
