Referring to talents as the key to innovation, Mr. Zhan expressed his hope that, while implementing CAS “One-Three-Five” Strategic Planning, the Institute would organize the application for the CAS talent programs, and strengthen introduction and cultivation of young talents, especially those “excellent” and “distinguished” talents as defined by NSFC. He also stressed that in nurturing young talents, RADI should give full play to such platforms as the Centres of Excellence and the CAS Youth Innovation Promotion Association in order to lay a solid foundation for making more outstanding research achievements in the future.
