In recent years, with the acceleration of social innovation driven development, the investment in science and technology has been increasing, the scale of scientific research instruments has continued to grow, the coverage areas have been expanding, the technological level has significantly improved, and the comprehensive benefits have become increasingly apparent. However, the problem of low utilization of scientific research instruments has gradually become prominent, and the service and support role for technological innovation has not been fully utilized.
In order to effectively utilize scientific research instruments, various provinces and cities are vigorously promoting instrument sharing and providing subsidies and encouragement in policies. Such as the Sichuan Military Civilian Integration Large Scientific Instrument Sharing Platform and the Guizhou Province Large Scientific Instrument Sharing Service Platform. Through 'sharing', the utilization rate of scientific research instruments and equipment can not only be improved, but also significant economic and social benefits can be generated.
In Tianjin, technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises can enjoy the convenience of using large instruments and equipment in a "shared" mode by placing orders with just one click. In 2016, Tianjin formulated the "Implementation Rules for the Open Sharing of Large Scientific Instruments in Tianjin" in accordance with the "Opinions on the Opening of National Major Scientific Research Infrastructure and Large Scientific Research Instruments to the Society" issued by the State Council, promoting the policy of open sharing of scientific research resources such as large instrument facilities.
Large scale instrument sharing not only brings opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship for small and medium-sized enterprises, but also benefits instrument owners. We integrate professional equipment and provide services to over 100 enterprises, with more than 5000 visits, while also serving our own needs. The utilization rate of many instruments has also increased by about 20%, and annual financial subsidies of 500000 to 1 million yuan can be obtained, effectively reducing operating costs. ”A business executive in Tianjin said.
According to the Tianjin Instrument Open Sharing Regulations, based on the social service situation of enterprises, institutions providing large-scale instrument services can receive a financial subsidy of no more than 40% of the service fee and an additional 500000 yuan per year. The guiding role of "recognition+subsidy" has stimulated the participation interest of research platforms such as central research institutes, universities, key laboratories, engineering technology centers, and productivity promotion centers in Tianjin, and a large number of large-scale instrument and equipment resources have joined the ranks of providing services.
At present, the Tianjin large-scale instrument open sharing platform has gathered 86 service institutions and 845 sets of large-scale scientific instruments with a value of over 500000 yuan. The original value of the equipment accounts for 50% of the total value of large-scale instruments with a value of over 500000 yuan in the city, providing standardized services to society and enterprises.
In the next step, Tianjin will further promote the open sharing of large-scale scientific instruments, combine Internet, Internet of Things and other technologies to conduct online connection and intensive management of large-scale instruments and equipment, and further promote the socialization and sharing of scientific research instruments and equipment in colleges and universities.
