Strategic scientists are of great significance to China's efforts in building strategic talent forces,becoming a talent-strong country and a science and technology power.The core qualities of strategic scientists include a sense of social responsibility,scientific literacy,practical experience,leadership in tackling challenges,forward-looking judgment and participation in decision-making.Through the case analysis of 11 strategic scientists,it is found that their growth paths include:firstly,forming outstanding scientific qualities;secondly,carrying out excellent scientific and technological creation;thirdly,achieving influential scientific and technological results that have generated extensive international impact.Strategic scientists can also be divided into four subcategories based on scope and achievement direction,namely,those are domain-specific,cross-domain,science-oriented and technical engineering-oriented strategic scientists.Their strategic work and roles are mainly reflected in leading large-scale projects,cultivating talents,and participating in decision-making and planning.Based on these characteristics,this paper proposes countermeasures to strengthen the construction of strategic scientist teams from four aspects:selection,training,utilization,and platform building.
