In his speech, Wang Xiaohui affirmed the new achievements made in the province's talent-related initiatives over the past year and outlined arrangements for the next phase of work. He noted that, since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has consistently regarded talent as the first resource for supporting development, comprehensively strengthened the Party's leadership over talent work, and secured historic achievements and changes in talent work for the new era. General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been deeply concerned about talent work and has shown deep care for all types of talent. Xi has delivered a series of important speeches, forming important thoughts on advancing talent work in the new era. At the recently concluded national "two sessions", Xi additionally made a series of key instructions on talent work, profoundly outlining the strategic orientation and key priorities for talent development in the current and future periods, providing direction guidance and fundamental principles for the accelerated growth of a quality workforce. We must profoundly understand the decisive significance of the "two affirmations", resolutely implement the deployment and decisions of the Party Central Committee, coordinate efforts in attracting, cultivating and utilizing talents, and continuously promote the high-quality development of talent work in the province.
Wang Xiaohui pointed out that it is necessary to make strategic planning for talent work based on the intersection of the two five-year plans. We must maintain a sharp focus on the objectives and tasks outlined in the 14th Five-Year Plan, diligently review progress, rectify shortcomings, and deliver results, striving to fully accomplish the established goals within the designated timeframe. We should proactively plan for the talent work during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, align with the new trends in talent mobility, focus on the objectives of selecting talent for major scientific and technological breakthroughs and cultivating talent for key areas of focus, strengthen coordination in planning, tasks, policies and mechanisms across the fields of education, science and technology, and talent development, and continuously enhance the overall strength of the province's talent pool.
Wang Xiaohui pointed out that it is essential to cultivate, introduce and effectively utilize talent centering around the country's major strategic initiatives and the provincial Party committee's development strategies. Work should be done to excel in independent talent cultivation, focus on the development of new quality productive forces, continuously improve the collaborative education model that integrates industry, academia and research, and constantly enhance the alignment between talent supply and industrial development. Meanwhile, we should fully leverage the advantages of national laboratories, major research institutes, and mega science devices to attract and aggregate high-end talent and cultivate science strategists, first-class scientists and innovation teams in the process of making breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields. Efforts should be made to intensify talent attraction, employ flexible methods such as attracting talent through talent, conferences and competitions to proactively recruit high-end professionals, and embrace talented individuals from around the globe, encouraging them to contribute their expertise to the development and governance of Sichuan. It is essential to continuously unleash the potential of talent, effectively utilize various innovation and entrepreneurship platforms, improve the mechanisms for deep cooperation among talent, technology, industry and capital, promote the profound integration of the talent chain with the innovation chain, industrial chain and capital chain, and further transform talent advantages into competitive advantages and scientific and technological achievements into practical productivity.
Wang Xiaohui pointed out that it is necessary to deepen institutional reforms for talent development with a focus on addressing deep-seated contradictions and challenges. It is essential to emphasize the integration of reforms, adhere to the integrated development of education, science and technology, and human resources, and strengthen the overall coordination in areas such as strategic planning, policy measures, major tasks, and resource platforms, to ensure that all reform measures are well-coordinated and work synergistically to form a cohesive force. Efforts should be made to highlight the key areas of reform, explore the implementation of more proactive, open and effective talent policies, continuously deepen the governance of the "title" system within the scientific and educational communities, accelerate the establishment of a talent evaluation system that aligns with the laws governing scientific research activities, and strive to achieve a set of landmark and pioneering reform outcomes. Work should be done to enhance the effectiveness of reforms, promote the scaling up of successful local pilot reform projects to widespread implementation, and transform innovative explorations into systematic policies, so as to inject a continuous strong momentum into the high-quality development of the province's talent cause.
Wang Xiaohui pointed out that it is necessary to focus on stimulating innovation and creativity to build a favorable environment that recognizes, appreciates, respects and effectively utilizes talent. We must vigorously promote the spirit of Chinese scientists, cultivate a robust atmosphere that encourages innovation, bold exploration, and tolerance for failure, and inspire talent to focus on academic research, experimentation, and the achievement of impactful results. Efforts should be made to further enhance the coordination and integration of talent policies, science and technology policies, and industrial policies to help more leading technology enterprises, specialized and sophisticated "little giant" companies, and champions in specific manufacturing sectors accelerate their development. Furthermore, we should implement comprehensive safeguard measures to ensure that talents of all kinds can settle comfortably in Sichuan, apply their skills effectively, and realize their aspirations.
Deputy Heads of the Leading Group, relevant provincial leaders, and leading officials from relevant provincial departments attended the meeting.
