我是国家自然科学基金委员会第一届和第二届委员,参加了基金委创建和发展初期的一些重大决策,可以说见证了我国科学基金事业早期的成长与发展。这些年,我虽然与科学基金工作的直接联系不多,但对其仍然十分关注。二十年来,基金委坚持公正、公平、公开的原则,支持基础研究,取得了许多创新成果,培养、吸引和造就了一大批科技人才,在科技界建立了良好的声誉,赢得全社会的广泛关注,为提升我国科技自主创新能力发挥了重要作用。 I was the first and second members of NSFC and participated in some important decisions made by the Commission in the early days of its creation and development. It can be said that it witnessed the early growth and development of the science fund in China. In recent years, although I have little direct contact with the work of the Science Foundation, I am still very concerned about it. In the past two decades, the Fund Committee upholds the principle of fairness, fairness and openness, supports basic research, has made many innovations, cultivated, attracted and brought up a large number of scientists and technicians, established a good reputation in the scientific and technological circles and won wide-ranging Concern, played an important role in enhancing the capability of independent innovation of science and technology in our country.
