英国国家科研与创新署的战略规划及启示

UKRI ’s Strategic Planning and its Insights

摘要:

制定战略规划对科学资助机构的发展至关重要。2022年3月，英国国家科研与创新署（UKRI）首次发布五年期战略，以促进英国成为全球科学超级大国，其下属机构同时发布了一系列配套实施规划，形成清晰完整的战略规划体系。以UKRI的战略规划体系为研究对象，梳理和分析其战略目标实施举措、进展监测、绩效评估和经费投入等内容和要点，指出其在总体战略、下属机构合作规划、各机构的实施规划这3个层面的战略框架设计保持一致，在基础设施建设和对人才资助计划方面的经费预算大幅增长，联合下属机构集中力量应对国家面临的重大挑战和重大需求，也将增加对其提出的七大技术群以及国内区域均衡发展等方面的投入。基于此，从对战略实施开展监测与评估、单独制定科学资助机构国际合作战略、加强科学资助机构内部组织管理、基于科学资助机构战略规划促进中英双边科技合作等4个方面提出政策建议，以期为中国科学资助机构的战略规划制定与实施、促进中英科学资助机构的双边合作提供启示。
