Huairou District is a firm believer in having talent at the forefront of its development of a scientific urban form and innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem. To this end, there has been a focus on original innovation, on deepening the drive for innovation, on establishing a truly global perspective, and on promoting the development of an international talent community around a "gathering of innovative elements, international talents, and diversified cultures".
Huairou District insists on planning first, inviting an international team to complete the talent community plan, and promoting the coordination and linking of community planning with the Science City control plan, which it complements.
An innovation chain based on 29 facility platforms has been laid out, promoting the establishment of Yanqi Lake Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications, Beijing Huairou Instruments and Sensors Co., Ltd. (HIS), and Weiqiao Guoke (Beijing) Material Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd.
Full play will be given to the role of the international convention center with high-level international conferences, exhibitions, and cultural and sporting events to be held, and the official establishment of the Global Cooperation Alliance of Science Centers and the Alliance of International Science Organizations in the Belt and Road Region will receive due promotion.
A quantitative analysis of international research talent is to be carried out. And Yanqi Talent Cards will be issued to provide precise services to talents.
Huairou District's next step will be to comprehensively promote the development of the International Talent Community in Huairou Science City.
The first priority will focus on promoting the development of high-level scientific infrastructures.
This will entail promoting the construction of device platforms such as high-energy photon source, accelerating the building of the National Energy Laboratory, planning the 14th Five-Year Plan project scientifically, and attracting world-class scientific and technological talents to develop in Huairou District.
The second priority will see the establishment of a high-point innovation ecology.
It will require the establishment of comprehensive connections with the institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and numerous colleges, universities and enterprises. To better serve the Yanqi Lake Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications, the Tsinghua Industrial R&D Institute Huairou Innovation Center, the Haichuang Hard Technology Industrial Park, and the Microsoft Research - Asia, Huairou branch, there have been calls to upgrade service of the Yanqi Talent Card and one-stop service platform for foreign talent so as to improve the talent service guarantee system for international talents.
The third goal is to create a high-quality urban form.
To do this, there are plans to further promote the internationalization of the district under the "100·365" Science Action Plan to accelerate the development of key projects, such as Yanqi Town, Urban Living Room and the Light of Science. Supporting facilities, including international schools and hospitals as well as transportation, accommodation and business must all be provided.
Finally, ecological conservation will receive its due, with plans to build an ecological and green Science City with water and trees and create a comfortable environment for international talent development in "garden-like surroundings at a distance and homes up close".
