Inspiration from the Manhattan Project as a talent platform
Fundamental reasons for Manhattan Project's success in attracting talents analyzed from its background and other aspects.A large number of high-level technological innovation talent made their name in the Manhattan Project was primarily due to the special historical background of World War Ⅱ,when the dictatorship and national segregation policies in fascist countries like Germany and Italy drove technological elites around the world to North America and devote themselves to the mega scientific project of developing atomic bomb.Meanwhile,Manhattan Project's challenging tasks in basic science,concentration of renowned masters,and highly open and inclusive engineering culture also made it a cradle of high-caliber innovative talent.The success of the project as a talent platform sheds light on what we should do in fostering our national defense technology engineering team now:to combine tasks with personal interests,and create an open and competitive environment enabling free talent flow.
