大学基础研究与国家科技创新的关系研究——兼论当前我国大学基础研究面临的危机

The Relation of Basic Research in University and National S&T Innovation

摘要:

将大学作为实施“高深研究”最适宜之所的组织设计和制度安排,得益于大学固有的理性传统、科学研究与人才培养有机结合的组织功能及其庇护学术共同体自由探索的组织特性。这一制度安排不仅奠定了现代研究型大学这一关键组织的合法性基础,也提供了国家和社会发展所依赖的前沿知识、创新人才和理性文化。但伴随着大学被赋予了越来越多的职责和使命以及受到日益流行的绩效评价文化的影响,实施基础研究所需的自由和潜心研究的学术环境、稳定支持的资助制度以及鼓励原创的奖励机制等受到侵蚀,大学赖以存在的理性根基以及社会进步所依赖的高深研究正面临着合法性危机。应强调政府在政策支撑、财政资助及文化引领等方面承担其主要责任。
