The hottest Ministry of science and technology has

The Ministry of science and technology gave a heavy blow to the idleness and waste of scientific research facilities and instruments, Harbin Institute of technology and other three companies were named

the Ministry of science and technology gave a heavy blow to the idleness and waste of scientific research facilities and instruments, 26 units were open to sharing poor, Harbin Institute of technology and other three companies were named

on December 27, The station of the Ministry of science and technology publicly released the notice on the open sharing of evaluation and assessment results of major scientific research infrastructure and large scientific research instruments of central universities, scientific research institutes and other institutions (hereinafter referred to as the notice). It is worth noting that the assessment results of 26 units, such as China University of mining and Technology (Beijing) and Harbin Institute of technology, are poor. Not only is the opening and sharing situation poor, there are insufficient attention, poor overall management, and low utilization efficiency of general instruments. Some units also have serious idle waste. In addition, we should also consider whether the oil is too thin, too dirty and other data are seriously untrue

a total of 373 units from 21 departments participated in the evaluation, involving 34000 sets of scientific research instruments with an original value of more than 500000 yuan, of which 1173 sets (sets) with an original value of more than 5million yuan are often prone to accidental failures, and 76 major scientific research infrastructures, covering astronomy, high-energy physics, scientific research ships and other fields

if the rectification is not in place within a one-year deadline, the purchase funds will be reduced

"in accordance with the relevant provisions of the opinions of the State Council on the opening of national major scientific research infrastructure and large scientific research instruments to the society (hereinafter referred to as the opinions), the units with excellent and good assessment results will be commended, and post subsidy funds will be awarded." Renjiarong, head of the Condition Platform Department of the basic Department of the Ministry of science and technology, said that units with poor assessment results were criticized in a notice, requiring a deadline of one year for rectification. If the rectification is not in place after one year, the purchase funds of corresponding instruments and equipment will be reduced

the notice points out that three (3) sets of single crystal diffractometers from Harbin Institute of technology, eight (8) sets of single molecule real-time genetic analysis systems from the Institute of medicinal plants, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and three (3) sets of scientific research instruments purchased in the past five years, including the small animal photoacoustic imaging system from the Shenzhen Institute of advanced technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, are seriously idle and wasteful, and the corresponding competent departments should comply with relevant regulations, Urge the three units to allocate these instruments free of charge

at the same time, 41 units, including the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have standardized management systems, high efficiency in the operation and use of scientific research instruments and equipment, remarkable results in opening up and sharing, and excellent assessment results; The assessment results of 60 units including the Institute of urban environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences were good; 246 units including Chang'an University met the basic requirements of open sharing, and the assessment results were qualified

"in general, a good atmosphere of opening and sharing scientific research facilities and instruments has gradually formed, the utilization level has continued to improve, and the role of supporting scientific and technological innovation has become increasingly apparent." Ren Jiarong told Science and technology that from the perspective of various departments, the operating time of scientific research institutes affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences is relatively full. In terms of the categories of scientific research instruments, analytical instruments such as nuclear magnetic resonance instruments, mass spectrometers, chromatographs and various microscopes have a high utilization rate. For example, the 600MHz solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer and other instruments of Wuhan Institute of physics and mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have an annual effective operation time of more than 8000 hours, basically realizing full load operation throughout the year

"heavy things light people" a technician is responsible for 60 instruments

in sharp contrast, through the evaluation and assessment, it is found that the decentralization and personalization of instruments in some units still exist, and some units are seriously idle and wasted

"although some universities and scientific research institutes have established public instrument platforms and instrument management information systems, many scientific research instruments are still scattered in the hands of individual research groups or individuals, and the units lack constraints on them." Ren Jiarong told Science and technology that there are many general-purpose instruments newly purchased in the past three years in this assessment, and the annual machine hours are less than 200 hours

"there are nearly ten million yuan of instruments in a laboratory that will inevitably be worn out. Some of them are covered with dust in the sample room, which has obviously not been used for a long time, and some brand-new scientific research instruments and equipment have not been opened." Ren Jiarong said that it is noteworthy that the experimental technology support team is weak, and the phenomenon of "heavy objects light people" has not been improved. A considerable number of units have insufficient understanding of the role of experimental technicians in supporting scientific and technological innovation. The number of experimental technicians is obviously insufficient, and the structure is also unreasonable, so it is impossible to realize the effective management and full utilization of instruments

previously, the investigation of evaluation and assessment work found that an experimental technician of a unit was responsible for 60 scientific research instruments at the same time, and could only do the on-off management. Some units also lack full-time experimental technicians, resulting in a high failure rate of instruments, and some instruments are damaged and idle after 2 to 3 years of use
