科技支撑社会治理体系建设是新时期社会治理领域的重要内容，是建设更高水平的平安中国的基本要求。科技支撑社会治理现代化的科学内涵体现为行动导向的3个层面、5重维度， 3个层面包括理念层面、准备层面和行动层面； 5重维度分别为社会治理体系现代化、社会治理能力现代化、社会治理方式智能化、基层社会自治、制度化渠道与非制度化渠道互补融合。科技支撑社会治理现代化面临的挑战在于：科技支撑社会治理的一线人力资源需求供应不足；科技支撑的资金需求大、资金来源单一；社会系统的发展滞后于科技的发展；科技支撑社会治理实践的因地制宜和地方经验不够。为应对上述挑战并抓住科技支撑的机遇，提出面向未来的科技支撑社会治理现代化建设的建议：对科技嵌入社会治理形成科学的认知；建立健全合作机制；搭建形成实践闭环；坚持负责任的创新，实现科技与社会的良性互构；兼顾基层下沉与领域细化。

Application of science and technology to social governance is an important channel to accelerate social governance modernization The scientific connotation of science and technology supporting social governance modernization is reflected in the action-oriented“three levels, five dimensions". The three levels mean the cogitation level, readiness level and action level; the five dimensions are the modernization of social governance system, modernization of social governance capabilities, intellectualization of social governance methods, autonomy of grassroots society, and complementarity and integration of institutionalized and non-institutionalized channels. The challenges faced by science and technology supporting social governance modernization include the followings. The supply of frontier human resources for social governance is inadequate; the capital needs for science and technology support are large but the capital source is single; the development of social systems lags behind the development of science and technology; and the local experience of science and technology supporting social governance practice is insufficient. In order to response to the above challenges and seize the opportunities, the paper also presents some suggestions for future social governance modernization.
