In 2025, we will focus on expanding international cooperation and promoting youth innovation. We recognize the power of technologies like quantum computers, artificial intelligence and renewable energy. These are not just tools and new technologies, but also catalysts for social progress and environmental sustainability.
Shahbaz Khan, director and representative of the UNESCO Regional Office for East Asia
We hope young Chinese scientists will actively integrate into the global innovation network with an open and inclusive mindset, enhancing their research capabilities and strengthening their innovation skills through international collaboration. Likewise, we encourage more young talent from around the world to experience, understand and engage with China, fostering mutual exchange and learning.
Wang Jinzhan, member of the leading Party members group of the China Association for Science and Technology
At this critical period of transition toward the practical application of quantum computing, China urgently needs to advance its talent strategy with greater ambition. We can only gain the upper hand in this race for the future frontier of science and technology by establishing a talent development system spanning basic education, higher education, industrial application and international collaboration, as well as building a highly innovative quantum talent pool.
Xiang Tao, academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences
