“大力培养使用战略科学家”是建设世界科技强国、实现高水平科技自立自强的一项关键举措。探讨了为什么要大力使用战略科学家、什么是战略科学家、如何培养战略科学家等重要问题，这些探讨有利于为战略科学家的支持、使用、培养形成更广泛的共识和设立更精准有效的政策措施。在科技创新成为国际战略博弈主要战场的今天，应当加快改革步伐，为战略科学家发挥更为重要的作用创造更好条件。同时应通过制度设计充分支持青年科学家成长，形成战略科学家成长梯队。

One of the key policies for China to enter the world frontier of science and technology is to better cultivate strategic scientists. It is our urgent need to thoroughly understand why we need strategic scientists, what the characteristics the strategic scientists should be provided with, and how to cultivate next generation of strategic scientists. A good understanding of these issues will lay the foundation to formulate specific and efficient scientific policies to fully tap the potential of strategic scientists. Currently science and technologies represent one major area of international competition. Thus, it is essential to allow strategic scientists to play more important roles in scientific research, technological advances, and economic development. At the same time, a systematic series of policies are needed to support the next generation strategic scientists.
