Abstract:

[Objective] With the increasing importance of science and technology in social and economic development, the evaluation of science and technology competitiveness attracts the world’s concern. In order to comprehensively evaluate the current situation of China’s science and technology development, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, one of the best academic institutions of science and technology in China, is taken as the research object, and the index system and evaluation model representing the development status of science and technology at Chinese Academy of Sciences is designed. [Methods] Starting with the connotation of science and technology competitiveness evaluation, this paper makes a comparative analysis of the status of science and technology evaluation domestically and abroad. By associating various factors in the development of science and technology at CAS with the international mainstream evaluation methods and systems, this paper designs the index system and the evaluation model for awareness of the science and technology development situation at CAS. [Results] This paper designs the index system and the evaluation model for perception of situation of the overall CAS and the individual CAS institute, which cab serve as a reference in decision making for promoting the science and technology development at CAS and in the whole country. [Conclusions] At present, CAS science and technology situation awareness index system has been initially applied in the scientific research management to assist the leaders to evaluate the development situation at CAS. The evaluation model is still at the preliminary design stage. In order to accurately evaluate the competitiveness of science and technology and promote the work of evaluation, it is necessary to adjust the indicators and parameters of the model based on the result of data validation.
