(en.sh-italent.com)Updated : 2019-06-30

The plan takes project evaluation and institutional evaluation into consideration and will set up a unified platform for reporting talent plans in the city.

At the same time, it puts moral evaluation in a prominent position, emphasizing integrity, the recording of dishonest conduct and the use of a disciplinary system.

For example, the evaluation of scientific and technological talents requires it to be "based on scientific research integrity, guided by innovation ability, quality, contribution and performance".

The evaluation of educational talents adheres to the implementation of the "one-vote veto" system for teachers' morality and teaching abilities.

The evaluation of financial talents implements the "one-vote veto" system for moral quality, professional ethics and professional conduct.

In order to accelerate the reform of talent evaluation in key areas, the plan establishes a system for talents in fields including scientific and technological research, philosophy and social sciences, culture and arts, education, medical health, technical skills, finance and enterprise management.

Taking the evaluation of scientific and technological talents as an example, the plan proposes that for talents who are mainly engaged in basic research, the city should focus on their ability to solve major scientific issues, their academic level and the influence of the results.

For talents mainly engaged in applied research and technology development, the factors will be technological innovation capabilities, independent intellectual property rights, technological breakthroughs, transformation of results and actual contribution to industrial development.

For those who are mainly engaged in technology transfer services, the evaluation focus is on technology assessment, business analysis and negotiation, intellectual property and technology implementation management capabilities and technology transfer performance.

For those who are mainly engaged in scientific and technological strategy research, the evaluation focus is on research application, decision-making and strategic thinking.

For those who are mainly engaged in social welfare research and technology management services, the evaluation focus on technical support capabilities, customer feedback and industry acceptance.

The mechanism highlights quality and the value of research results, as well as their contribution to economic and social development, over papers, patents, projects and the number of funds, aiming to establish an evaluation system that is conducive for scientific and technological talents doing research.

The plan proposes focusing on both individual evaluation and team evaluation. It recognizes the actual contribution of all participants in a research team.

For people working in sectors such as philosophy, social sciences, culture and art, the mechanism adopts evaluation methods such as peer evaluation, user feedback, communication effects, market and social evaluation.

The plan also emphasizes giving support to young talents. It encourages the setting up of more projects for talent cultivation and recognizing outstanding personnel.

The plan encourages employers to develop a personnel evaluation system according to their own development needs and employees' performance.

To facilitate the development of strategic emerging industries, the plan encourages leading enterprises and industry associations to set up evaluation standards in industries such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence and biomedicine.

The city will be more active in inviting international experts and will strive to establish a database for sharing resources.
