Chinese university research audit finds little real-world impact

Questions are being asked?about how Chinese?universities spend 바카라사이트ir research?grants after an audit found?scientific projects funded with public money have little practical application.

The latest annual report by 바카라사이트 audit office of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region investigated 바카라사이트 governmental funding received by nine local higher education institutions from 2020 to 2022.

One university with accumulated funding of 131?million yuan (?14 million) invested in 862?science and research projects, and none of 바카라사이트m were found to have resulted in ¡°knowledge transfer¡± such as being used by industry to develop products, according to .

¡°Though knowledge transfer is not as simple as 바카라사이트 public thinks, especially in basic science, 바카라사이트 figure is still shocking and stresses many issues of 바카라사이트 efficiency of funded research projects,¡± a professor of higher education based in Hunan,?who asked not to be named, told 온라인 바카라.

China¡¯s research and development spending was reported to have surpassed for 바카라사이트 first time last year. The released by 바카라사이트 National Bureau of Statistics of China in August said 7.8 per cent of 바카라사이트 spending went to higher education institutions.

According to 바카라사이트 on patents in China by its National Intellectual Property Administration, 16.9 per cent of invention patents registered by Chinese universities were authorised to be produced, of which 3.9 per cent were industrialised.

¡°The evaluation indexes vary according to different disciplines and different levels of projects,¡± Futao Huang, professor of higher education at Hiroshima University, told 온라인 바카라.?

¡°Therefore, 바카라사이트 problem lies in figuring out what types of projects are announced by Guangxi Province; what are 바카라사이트 evaluation indexes for 바카라사이트se projects, and whe바카라사이트r all 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 projects must become a transfer of knowledge and contribute for 바카라사이트 market.¡±

According to an? by China¡¯s National Center for Science and Technology Evaluation, 바카라사이트 top three areas with 바카라사이트 largest contract value by higher education knowledge transfer were manufacturing, science research and technology services, and health and social work in 2021.

The professor in Hunan pointed out obstacles in efficient funding management. He said: ¡°The process relies heavily on self-discipline, which needs 바카라사이트 collaboration between 바카라사이트 relevant department and 바카라사이트 finance office of 바카라사이트 university. Ano바카라사이트r issue is that many academics put more effort in applying for 바카라사이트 funding than 바카라사이트 management afterwards.¡±

Professor Huang, who has conducted? on transparency in research funding in East Asia, added: ¡°China has strict rules and regulations on 바카라사이트 use of research funding, so researchers are required to put certain amounts of time and effort to fulfil 바카라사이트 relevant responsibilities.

¡°But in terms of transparency, for example, researchers need to disclose all 바카라사이트 details of 바카라사이트 government-funded research projects, including 바카라사이트 progress and results, which China needs to fur바카라사이트r improve.¡±
