世纪之交,中共中央和国务院明确提出实施科教兴国战略。全国各行各业及广大人民群众的科技意识正空前提高。社会各界对基础性研究在实施这一战略中所发挥的重要支柱作用也逐渐取得更加广泛的共识。 At the turn of the century, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council clearly put forward the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. The scientific and technological awareness of all walks of life across the country and the general public is on the rise. All walks of life have gradually gained more broad consensus on the important pillar role played by basic research in the implementation of this strategy.
