Abstract

National research institutions are an important part of the national strategic S & T forces. As a gathering place of strategic talents, national research institutions take the important responsibility of cultivating and properly using strategic talents. It is pointed out in this paper that the strategic talents of national research institutions have the characteristics of hierarchy, concentration, difference, and organization. Then the international experiences of three categories of national research institutions in the cultivation and the use of strategic talents are analyzed. The first category of national research institutions is in the science frontier of the world, the second category is in accordance with the national strategic needs, and the third category is adapted to the industry and market development needs. Finally, based on the current situation of Chinese national research institutions in terms of cultivating and using strategic talents, this paper suggests that we should bring into full play the national research institutions in cultivating and using strategic talents, explore the establishment of mission-oriented classified cultivation and use mode of strategic talents, and establish a more open mechanism for cultivating and using strategic talents. These suggestions will help realize the strategic goal of building a powerful China with talents in the new era.
