摘要:

通过比较研究发现我国基础研究薄弱、高校科研主体作用发挥不够好、研究型大学在基础研究方面存在缺位等现象。本文在科研主体分类定位的基础上提出研究型大学以基础研究为主、其他高等学校以应用研究为主的主张。原因在于基础研究的特性与研究型大学的本质属性相契合，而研究型大学的知识生产应以满足学术系统正常运行对知识增长的需求为首要任务。同时，本文提出改进科研管理体制、促进学术自由等措施以释放研究型大学开展基础研究的能力。

Abstract:

Through comparative study, we find some phenomena, e.g. weakness of basic research, unreasonable orientation of different research structures. The weakness of basic research is ascribed to various factors, but the loss of universities’ main function on basic research, especially in 985 Project universities is regarded as a main reason. After theoretic analysis, we draw a conclusion that research-oriented universities should focus on basic research and other universities should focus on applied research, because research-oriented universities is according with characteristics of basic research and they should take the production of knowledge as the fundamental task. Some measures such as the reform of scientific management system, academic freedom are raised to change the current situation.
