    December 1st
    2023 Tengchong Scientists Forum arrived as scheduled
    What kind of attraction
    Let scientists "sky group" gather in the polar city of Tengchong?

    The Tengchong Scientists Forum originates from the brilliant history of Southwest Associated University, from the profound friendship between Tsinghua University, Peking University, Nankai University and the people of Yunnan, and from the unremitting exploration of science and technology, education, talent and innovation by the new era science and technology workers represented by Gu Binglin, Xu Zhihong, Rao Zi and the three old presidents.

    In December 2020, when Gu Binglin, Xu Zhihong, Rao Zi and three academicians investigated Tengchong, they proposed that Tengchong has a pleasant climate, altitude, location environment, history and culture, biodiversity and other advantages, which are very similar to Davos town, which is very suitable for scientists to get away from the noise of the city, look up at the stars, search for the truth, and have a scientific ideological journey. It also proposed to learn from the ideas of "Davos Town" and "Davos Forum", and planned to hold "Tengchong Scientists Forum".

    Go back a year. In 2022, the first Tengchong Scientists Forum was successfully held, which received strong responses from the world. People can't help but focus on this extreme city.

    Today, the results of the forum have already emerged - more than 90 signed talent introduction projects, more than 100 investment projects, with a total investment of more than 62 billion yuan. The Tengchong Scientists Forum is becoming another brand new platform for international scientific and cultural exchanges.

    Here is the mountain "sea" treasure land, rich in natural resources


    The creation of the earth tens of thousands of years ago, the lava eruption millions of years ago, and the uncanny workmanship of nature have created Tengchong, a unique mountain "sea" treasure land in the southwest border of the motherland.

    On April 11 of the lunar calendar in 1639, Xu Xiake crossed the Lujiang River and crossed the Gaogong Mountain from Puman Sentinel west along the Southern Silk Road, from the watershed to Tengchong City.

    "Looking at the steaming air in the fjord, there are several places in the east and west, and the clouds erupt, like smoke and fog, near Daxi in the east and across the mountain gorge in the west..." See Tengchong hot sea, Xu Xiake recorded such a statement in his diary.

    In the Beihai wetland, he lamented: "Haizi can be a thousand mu, in all the grass is green, such as grass floating knot, there are also streams in the meantime can not rise."

    Tengchong has unique volcanic geothermal resources, covering 70.7% of forest resources, and reserves of more than 1.3 million kilowatts of hydropower resources.

    Gaoligong Mountain has A wide variety of animals and plants, which is listed as "biodiversity protection circle" by UNESCO and A-level protected area by the World Wildlife Fund. In this "natural museum", there are more than 2,100 kinds of higher plants competing for glory, more than 1,300 kinds of animals thrive here, known as the "species gene bank".

    These are not only natural wealth, ecological wealth, but also scientific research wealth and economic wealth, providing a unique environment for scientific research activities.

    Of course, Yunnan's blue sky and white clouds, clear waters and green mountains are undoubtedly an ideal place for scientists to look up at the stars, fly their minds and explore the truth.

    Here time precipitates, history and culture is long


    In ancient times, Tengchong was the gateway to Myanmar, India and other South Asian countries on the southwest ancient road, where Chinese and foreign merchants exchanged goods. In the 1920s, it was even known as "Little Shanghai".

    The Southwest Associated University has been running schools in Yunnan for eight years, sticking to the "one desk" in the war, and has achieved the most brilliant legend in the history of Chinese education, science and technology and talent.

    It keeps pace with The Times and keeps innovating


    According to the beautiful vision put forward by the first Forum, Yunnan has set up special agencies and Tengchong Scientists Forum Center, and planned to build a number of landmark places such as permanent conference sites and exhibition centers.

    Tengchong Science Award was established with a prize of 10 million yuan, which is the first science and technology award initiated in the mainland and selected at home and abroad, and also the first science and technology award named after a border city in China.

    In order to make the majority of scientific and technological talents feel at ease and comfortable to start a business, Yunnan vigorously implements the "Xingdian Talent Support Plan", and the provincial government takes out no less than 4 billion yuan per year and gives up to 30 million yuan of project funding support. Launched the "Xingdian Huicai Card", providing children with more than 20 services such as schooling, transportation and medical security.

    For academician workstations and expert workstations located in Yunnan, annual financial support of 1.8 million yuan and 900,000 yuan is given, and the projects led by academicians are supported one by one when mature.

    We will introduce regulations to promote the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, reform the mechanism for sharing rights and interests, increase government awards and subsidies, and promote scientific and technological achievements from "laboratory" to "production line".

    It has planned 10 major investment projects worth more than 50 billion yuan, collected more than 1,000 major scientific and technological cooperation needs, and held activities such as the demonstration of scientific and technological innovation achievements and the docking of transformation and application.
