Research on the Practice of Building Frontier Science Centers by Relying on World-Class Universities in Japan——Analysis Based on World Premier International Research Center Initiative
To strengthen the prospective layout of scientific innovation and break through the dilemma of international scientific research competition,the Japanese government has launched the"world premier international research center initiative"in 2007,aiming to build frontier science centers to carry out frontier scientific research by relying on world-class universities.Specific paths include:in terms of the top-level design,planning the basic framework of research center construction,establishing the four-fold evaluation mechanism,and formulating the organizational structure of separation of supervision,enforcement and evaluation;in terms of the underlying logic,constructing a matrix management system of"scientific research and administration",improving the system of talent introduction,recruitment,cultivation and retention,relying on dominant disciplines to create emerging interdisciplinary science,and establishing an industry-university-research collaborative mechanism for the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements.It reflects four characteristics:aiming at the international frontier interdisciplinary scientific fields,emphasizing the combination of advantages and demands traction,adhering to quality priority,embedding the Deming cycle quality control in the whole quality management,forming a solid matrix organizational structure,highlighting organization and coordination,and concerning the social impact of scientific research,attaching importance to expanding the spillover of scientific research results.
