Exploration of Construction Path of China National Laboratory Under the Collaborative Innovation Theory:Based on Empirical Lessons from the National Laboratories of the US Department of Energy
With the rapid development of technology and the advancement of globalization,collaborative innovation has become a key factor in promoting the development of national laboratories.Collaborative innovation not only helps to integrate resources from all parties and improve research efficiency,but also promotes the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements.In order to promote the openness and collaborative innovation of China's national laboratories,using the theory of collaborative innovation,based on the practical experience analysis of collaborative innovation in the US Department of Energy's national laboratories,and combined with the severe situation of China's current technological blockade by major Western countries,this paper explores the path of collaborative innovation to promote the construction of China's national laboratories.Collaborative innovation includes five core elements:multiple innovation entities,common goals,complementary advantages and reasonable division of labor,complex interactions,and overall collaborative effects.Its structure has transformed from a simple and disorderly layout to a high-level and orderly organizational transformation into a networked innovation structure.Therefore,to ensure the achievement of collaborative innovation results,it is necessary to fully consider factors such as the balance of interests and risk control among different entities.The National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy has clear strategic goals and missions,sufficient financial investment and diversified funding sources,efficient management and operation mechanisms,and a strong research team with diverse personnel composition.Its overall development shows an open and networked trend of external cooperation.In terms of collaborative innovation,it has formed experience measures such as strengthening strategic orientation and goal focus,deepening industry university research cooperation,establishing efficient collaborative mechanisms,strengthening talent cultivation and team building,encouraging innovation,and creating a culture of tolerance for failure.Drawing on the experience of the United States,deepening international collaborative cooperation and strengthening internal collaboration are the two wings to address challenges and promote the construction of national laboratories.On these grounds,responding to the current technological blockade in Western countries,China's national laboratory construction must unwaveringly adhere to the concept of openness,sharing,cooperation and exchange,strengthen top-level design and policy guidance,deepen industry university research and application cooperation,establish efficient collaborative mechanisms,achieve multi domain collaborative innovation,lead interdisciplinary innovation,and actively integrate into the construction of innovation consortia,promote the spirit of scientists,and create a scientific research culture atmosphere that encourages innovation and exploration.
