Recently, at the launch event of Ningbo Talent Day in 2023, the head of the Lens Center of Ningbo One Enterprise Research Institute was awarded the first batch of 500000 yuan funding for the Youth Science and Technology Innovation Leading Talent Project in Ningbo with a key technology research project.
Those who win the youth, gain the future! In recent years, the Ningbo Yongjiang Talent Project has been iteratively upgraded, and high-level platforms such as the Yongjiang Science and Technology Innovation Zone and Ningbo Oriental University of Technology (temporary name) have been innovatively launched. Efforts have been made to cultivate “large, excellent, strong” and “specialized, refined, and innovative” enterprises, striving to create a city for young entrepreneurs and providing a broad stage for young talents from all walks of life to achieve their dreams.
Last year, Ningbo City issued the “Ningbo City Science and Technology Talent Introduction and International Science and Technology Cooperation Project Support Management Measures” (Provisional), which clearly established the youth science and technology talent cultivation project for the first time. For young people aged 40 and 35, two types of science and technology innovation leadership projects and young doctoral innovation research projects were established, with a maximum funding support of 500000 yuan and 200000 yuan respectively.
It is understood that this year is the first time since the implementation of this policy to provide reward support for young scientific and technological innovation leading talent projects, and the second time to provide reward support for young doctoral innovation research projects. At present, this policy has cumulatively supported 153 projects, with subsidy funds exceeding 45 million yuan, providing visible “sunshine and rain” for young scientific and technological talents in Ningbo to strive for innovation.
In order to optimize management, the Young Doctoral Innovation Research Project is included in the Ningbo Natural Science Foundation for unified management, supporting young scientific and technological personnel under the age of 35 to conduct free exploration and research around cutting-edge technologies. The research and development funds are managed according to the “negative list+lump sum system”, and continuous rolling funding will be given to technology projects with excellent performance evaluation to cultivate the independent innovation ability of young scientific and technological talents.
