As the starting point and beginning of research and innovation,topic-selection plays a decisive role in determining whether or not a scientific and technical project can produce disruptive or breakthrough results.As the key support and important initiative to realize a strong scientific and technical country,optimizing the mechanism of topic selection and organization and management of major scientific and technical projects such as disruptive technologies is an important mission and task of deepening the reform of the scientific and technical system.From the perspective of realizing high-level scientific and technical self-reliance and self-reliance,this paper selects the U.S.DARPA project,Japan's Moonshot program,and Europe's EIC program as the research cases,and systematically analyzes the topic selection mechanism and practical experience of the major scientific and technical projects of disruptive technologies of the above countries/regions,and analyzes the sources,goals,and organizational and management methods of these projects in each country through summarizing and comparing.Finally,we put forward corresponding insights and suggestions.The results of the study can provide support for the management and implementation of the selection mechanism of major S&T projects on disruptive technies in China.
