Activating the "Talent Dividend" of Large Scientific Facilities Talents | China | Dividend
Micro discussion on talents

Since its establishment, more and more top scientific research teams have settled in China's Jinping Underground Laboratory and achieved a series of impressive results, promoting the leapfrog development of dark matter research in China from "following" and "running together" to "leading locally".
Merit leads to talent, and career leads to talent. The practice of the Jinping underground laboratory once again proves that the large scientific facility is a talent rich mine for high-level basic research.
The so-called large-scale scientific installation is a large-scale technological infrastructure that provides guarantees for national economic development, national security, and social progress. Since it is "infrastructure", large scientific facilities are like "roads, bridges, high-speed railways" for scientific research. They are public facilities that support cutting-edge research in basic science and interdisciplinary research. They should be open to global researchers, allowing everyone to conduct scientific research on this platform.
In the field of social life, the more the economy develops, the higher people's requirements for infrastructure. In the field of primitive innovation, as humans gain a deeper understanding of the universe and nature, the complexity, intersection, and integration of scientific research increase, and cutting-edge technological work requires more advanced tools.
This is because large scientific installations can create higher energy, higher density, or higher intensity extreme research conditions. Frontier research in fields such as high-energy physics, cosmic rays, dark matter, nuclear astrophysics, neutrinos, etc. cannot be separated from large scientific devices. Since the beginning of the 21st century, significant breakthroughs have been made in the field of physics, confirming that neutrino oscillations, the discovery of the Higgs boson, and the discovery of gravitational waves are all based on large scientific devices.
Bai Chunli, the former president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, once described that if future technology is a magic box full of infinite possibilities, the big scientific device is the key to open it. As a result, large-scale scientific installations are a "talent rich mine" that attracts and consolidates high-level scientists worldwide.
The only way to innovate is to win people. As a fundamental platform for technological innovation, the Big Science Facility not only attracts researchers from around the world to conduct collaborative research, but also cultivates and cultivates a large number of top scientists, high-level technical engineering talents, and outstanding young scientific and technological talents during the construction and use of the facility, possessing strong talent aggregation and cultivation capabilities.
Strengthening basic research ultimately relies on high-level innovative talents. At present, China is on the way to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization, and more and more large scientific devices are coming out. In addition to focusing on the equipment performance of large-scale scientific facilities, it is also important to pay more attention to the "talent enrichment" attribute of developing large-scale scientific facilities, tap and activate the "talent dividend" of large-scale scientific facilities, continuously improve the ability of independent training of basic research talents in China, and attract more high-level basic research talents to emerge, injecting a source of vitality for achieving high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
