At a press conference on the theme of “Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan” series held by the Information Office of the State Council today, Minister of Science and Technology Yin Hejun explained that it will closely follow the “15th Five-Year Plan” planning and deployment requirements and systematically lay out a number of major national science and technology tasks. The first is to strengthen basic research. Closely follow the world's scientific frontiers, and deploy and carry out basic theoretical research such as mathematical theory and application, and physical state control. Deploy basic research tasks such as synthetic biology, material genomics, controlled nuclear fusion, and intelligent scientist systems around scientific issues in key fields such as biology, materials, energy, and information. The second is in terms of leading scientific and technological research. Focusing on cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and biomantry, key fields such as integrated circuits and industrial motherboards, and strategic fields such as deep sea, deep space, and deep earth, the whole chain promotes research on key core technologies. The third is in terms of improving the welfare of the people. Deploy tasks such as environmental pollution prevention and control, resource recycling, agricultural biological breeding, and food safety around sky blue water; deploy tasks such as innovative drug research and development, high-end medical equipment, and aging response around health. Fourth, in terms of ensuring safety in key areas. In order to deal with major natural disasters and extreme climate change, missions such as disaster monitoring and early warning, risk prevention and control, emergency rescue, and meteorology and ocean forecasting are deployed. In order to improve social security capabilities, tasks such as public health safety and production safety are deployed.
