Chapter 834 - Academy of Sciences and Engineering (II)

"I think we can implement the method of academicians governing the academy in the academy of sciences and the academy of engineering, and in the academy of engineering and the academy of sciences, they will elect their own presidents. Of course, only those who have the status of academicians can participate in the election and have the right to vote, and ordinary people who do not have the status of academicians are not qualified to run for election and have the right to vote. And if there is something, then it can be discussed and decided by the academicians and their own elected leadership, and if it is a major matter that concerns all academicians, a general meeting of academicians must be convened to vote. If it is a very important matter, it must be approved by more than two-thirds of the people. And these academicians themselves run the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, and the scientific and technological departments and the cabinet cannot easily interfere in principle. And if it is not involved in a criminal case, then no armed personnel, including police, can enter casually. Moreover, if an academician is really involved in a criminal case, it must be submitted to the leadership elected by the academician for consent, and then the academician can only be arrested and tried after the academician is collectively agreed to be deprived. ”

"And in day-to-day management, the cabinet and the science and technology department cannot interfere, this is an iron law."

Wang Guorui's plan to let their own academicians manage the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering by themselves, in fact, it was also based on the so-called professor-run policy of Tsinghua University for a period of time. And if you let those bureaucrats manage it, it will definitely be a mess. Moreover, this Academy of Sciences qualified engineering institute, in fact, Wang Guorui does not intend to treat them as a very sound government agency. In fact, this so-called dean has little power in his daily life. That is, when something happens, gather for a meeting, act as a meeting host, and don't have too many administrative matters to manage on a daily basis.

And this dean is actually the convener and host of some meetings, and the major academicians are also scattered to different places for research on weekdays, and they will only come to the meeting when there is a big thing to discuss. As for those managed funds. It is not directly managed by the dean, but directly by the science and technology department into the bank account of the special application for the project, and the dean has almost no money to do, so as to avoid them embezzling research funds. And this dean is elected by the academicians themselves, not appointed by their superiors, so that they can avoid running around all day long.

And want to be a good academician. Either you will conquer other academicians academically, and then let other academicians be convinced and willing to support you. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, you lead everyone well, so that although your academic achievements may not be very good, but you have created a lot of research conditions for everyone, then it is okay for everyone to be convinced. Although this will make one of the academicians responsible for helping everyone with logistics, but it will also be a good help for other academicians to do better research. It doesn't have to be lost anywhere, either.

"But how do you get the money? You know, these funds are in the hands of the science and technology department, and if those academicians are angry when they apply for funds, won't it be a blow to their confidence? Fu Tiandi also asked.

Wang Guorui smiled and said: "Actually, I have thought about this, instead of letting them beg those bureaucrats one by one, it is better to let them apply together." Ordinary small projects are summarized on a quarterly basis. Then, at the end of each quarter, academicians can hold a unified meeting to discuss what project to be studied in the next quarter, and then everyone will summarize and budget together and hand it over to the science and technology department. Then apply for funding together. These are the methods of daily research projects, and if it is a large project, you can apply for it under the leadership of the dean, with the cabinet or in person, and then allocate funds and earmark them. ”

"This kind of application is made by summarizing the budget on a quarterly basis. It helps to improve the success rate of academicians' applications, and also allows those officials in the science and technology department to avoid too much interference. ”

Wang Guorui also heard in later generations that many scientists went to apply for research funds from the science and technology department, but they were "eaten and demanded" by many officials, and then even deliberately delayed. At that time, scientists were faced with the results of indifferent words, and often could not apply for funding.

Actually, for this case. Wang Guorui came to this world and has a lot of experience. Because no matter how good an academician is, he is also a person and has too few social resources. And when he went to apply for funding, he was angry because he was fighting with the bureaucracy of the entire technology system. No matter how much a person is, he cannot oppose a state apparatus, which is also a bureaucracy. An academician who is a man of few words is certainly not an opponent of a large department. At that time, the academician was not fighting with one person, but with the entire science and technology department, and he couldn't fight others.

However, if those engineering academies and the academy of sciences are allowed to apply together for three months, then these academicians will not be alone with the entire science and technology department, but the academy of sciences and the academy of engineering will unite and ask the science and technology department for money. If it is the individual and the science and technology sector that ask for money, it is the individual against the government department, the individual against the state apparatus, and it is impossible not to fail. However, when the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering ask for money together, it is a conflict between departments, so that the influence of strength between them is leveled to the greatest extent, and there will be no situation in which the bureaucracy of the entire scientific and technological system oppresses an academician. When the time comes, so many academicians will be together, then you, the bureaucrat of the science and technology system, will you also be afraid, will he still dare to eat and take cards? Between departments, it's business, and there is a lot less room for bureaucracy in those technology systems.

Moreover, once every three months, it is also conducive to avoiding too much interference of the scientific and technological system in the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering. Although there is a little bit of interference, it is once every three months, which avoids long-term and long-term intervention. If you have to go to the science and technology department every time you apply for funding, then the science and technology department will probably borrow the funds to get the engineering and science and science academies to follow their orders. And this kind of once every three months, although the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering will be interfered with by the science and technology department for a while, but after all, the long pain is better than the short pain. It's better for them to intervene once every three months than for the bureaucrats in the tech department to interfere with you anytime and anywhere, and you're in trouble.

"And once the funds are approved, these funds cannot be recovered and misappropriated, and the daily research and technology departments cannot interfere."

In later generations, the misappropriation of scientific research funds is also a very important issue, so once the funds are approved, it means that the funds must be earmarked, and they cannot be recovered again. This must also be stipulated, otherwise once those science and technology departments approve the funds, they regret and want to embezzle, so how can they do it? Moreover, the misappropriation of funds is also an important source of corruption, and once the technology is corrupted, it will have a very fatal impact on the future development. Science is related to the future of mankind, and naturally it is not easy for bureaucrats like them to interfere with corruption, otherwise they will also deal a very huge blow to domestic scientific research.

"What about the living conditions of this academician?" Someone immediately asked what I was most concerned about.

"The living treatment of academicians, we can give them a good income. The basic salary can be given at three times that of the fourth-rank officials, that is, the deputy ministerial-level officials, while the rest of the income can be rewarded according to their research scores. Wang Guorui said.

These academicians must be treated preferentially, especially the corresponding living treatment is also very important. The best way to let them study without distractions is to solve their worries, especially their economic needs. The basic salary alone is three times that of the fourth-rank official, so even if they don't have too many research results, just relying on the three-fold basic salary of the fourth-rank official, no matter which city in the country, they can support several families. Even if the family relies on this income to feed more than 50 people, as long as it is not extravagant and wasteful, it is completely enough.

Such a high income is enough for academicians to put aside most of their concerns and devote themselves to research.

"Moreover, when academicians participate in meetings and various affairs related to science and technology, no other official can sit in front of academicians except the official in charge of presiding."

This article can be regarded as improving the status of academicians. According to China's style of worshipping officials, when the time comes to hold a meeting, those scientific researchers are thrown behind, and then those officials who don't know where they come from can sit in front in a dignified manner. You must know that in China, the more seats are before the test, the higher the status. And if academicians are often squeezed behind by those bureaucrats, can this not be chilling? Therefore, in any meeting or ceremony related to science, except for a few officials who are responsible for presiding over it, officials of any other rank cannot sit in front of the academician, and must give up their position to the academician. In this way, people can feel respect for science, respect for knowledge, and not for power.

This can increase the pride of academicians, and it can also make more people aspire to become academicians. In the final analysis, this world is still a society with classes, and it is impossible to achieve it now if there are no classes at all. At present, it is necessary to show everyone that it is possible to become a person in the upper echelons of society by engaging in scientific research, rather than being pressed by officials all the time. Let everyone see that engaging in scientific research is a progressive path, so that everyone can also be enthusiastic about research, and then go to research science and technology to make human progress possible.
