I. Major Content

The Plan focuses on five key dimensions: autonomous laboratory systems, high-value scenario applications, scientific model systems, scientific data foundations, and innovation ecosystems. It sets out 18 specific tasks, including building autonomous laboratories, advancing the intelligent upgrading of major sci-tech infrastructure and research instruments, and developing intelligent agents and other tools for scientific research.

1. Accelerate the development of autonomous laboratory systems

Beijing will coordinate the development of autonomous laboratories, the intelligent upgrading of major sci-tech infrastructure, and the R&D of intelligent agents and other tools for scientific research to establish intelligent laboratories capable of full-cycle autonomous operation, while creating a new "Dry-lab and Wet-lab Loop" research model featuring two-way interaction between computing and experimentation.

2. Promote benchmark applications in high-value scenarios

Beijing will focus on six priority fields—high energy physics, materials science, medical and healthcare, life sciences, quantum technology, and bio-breeding—and assign targeted intelligent research tasks to shorten R&D cycles and reduce experimental costs.

3. Strengthen a tiered and collaborative scientific model system

Beijing will roll out a progressive three-tier framework encompassing fundamental theories, general-purpose scientific foundation models, and domain-specific models, and boost the deep integration of AI models embedded with physical laws and traditional scientific computing to achieve major original breakthroughs.

4. Reinforce a standardized scientific data base

Beijing will advance the development of scientific data centers, improve its scientific data management systems, collect and integrate multi-source scientific research data, and establish high-quality, standardized, and reusable datasets for the disciplines of basic science.

5. Foster an open innovation ecosystem

Beijing will focus on four key areas—introduction and cultivation of interdisciplinary talents, international sci-tech exchanges and cooperation, cross-departmental collaboration, and computing power support—to build a global academic exchange platform and establish an integrated support system encompassing talents, computing resources, and open collaboration.

II. Policy Highlights

1. Prioritizing "paradigm transformation"

Beijing will position autonomous laboratories as the core platforms for transforming traditional scientific research models, formulate supporting development standards, establish tiered evaluation mechanisms, and develop diversified funding policies. The city will also pioneer in exploring the next-generation AI-driven scientific research paradigm.

2. Strengthening "scenario-oriented development"

Beijing will target six benchmark fields spanning both basic research and industrial applications, connect all the segments including fundamental research, technological breakthroughs and industrial deployment, and accelerate the cultivation of new quality productive forces.

3. Adopting a whole-chain support framework

Beijing will coordinate the five key elements to establish a closed-loop development pattern that enables the efficient circulation and iterative upgrading of all innovation factors.

4. Upholding the coordinated and open approach to development

Domestically, Beijing will smooth out cross-departmental collaboration for the coordinated innovation across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Internationally, Beijing will expand global academic cooperation platforms to provide all-round support for developing Beijing as a global hub for intelligent scientific innovation.
