2025-09-05
The newly revised Law of the People's Republic of China on Science and Technology Popularization has elevated 'Science Popularization Day' to 'Science Popularization Month' and designated September as National Science Popularization Month, which is an important measure to enhance the scientific literacy of the entire population. "At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on September 4th, Feng Shenhong, Deputy Secretary of the Party Group and Vice Chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology, introduced that September this year is the first statutory national science popularization month, with more than 30 departments of central government agencies participating. The science popularization activities of the whole society have significantly increased, and the participation has expanded on a large scale. The predecessor of National Science Popularization Month was National Science Popularization Day, which has been held continuously for 22 years. From 'day' to 'month', it is not only an extension of the activity time, but also a reshaping of the activity connotation. ”Ni Zhiyu, Minister of the Science and Technology Popularization Department of the China Association for Science and Technology, said that the first National Science Popularization Month will be themed "Technology Changes Life, Innovation Wins the Future", and will organize six major sections of activities: "Series of Home Events", "Outline Office Member Unit Characteristic Activities", "Science Popularization Report Frontiers", "Science Popularization Frontline Exploration", "Millions of IPs Create Science Popularization", and "Science and Culture Enters Grassroots", creating a science popularization feast with full field action, full regional coverage, full media dissemination, and public participation and sharing. Ni Zhiyu summarized the characteristics of Science Popularization Month into five aspects: firstly, focusing on the forefront of science and technology, stimulating innovation momentum, and a large number of universities, research institutes, technology enterprises and parks, key laboratories, large scientific facilities, etc. will be open to the public. The second is the participation of multiple stakeholders, gathering a wide range of forces. The National Science Popularization Month platform website has gathered over 100000 activities from various regions. The third is to demonstrate the spirit of the early Republic of China and highlight the benefits of science popularization for the people. A series of science popularization maps and study routes have been released one after another, and the "Science Night" at one of the hundred science and technology venues across the country continues to be held, with more than 200 science master plays being staged enthusiastically. The fourth is to focus on innovation demonstration, leading the trend of science popularization. The "Science Popularization Innovation Laboratory" co created by science museums, universities, and technology enterprises has launched a batch of innovative exhibits for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, including the first set, first batch, and first edition. Fifth, online and offline integration has set off a science popularization boom, such as the "Science Popularization China" platform and 18 network platforms such as learning power, microblog, Tiktok to carry out online science popularization joint action. Zhou Dejin, head of the Work Bureau of the Academic Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed that in order to cooperate with the national science popularization month this year, the botanical gardens, herbariums and observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences distributed throughout the country were all open. In addition, the Chinese Academy of Sciences will organize no less than 100 academicians to carry out rich science popularization activities in the western region. Liu Yuxin, Director of the Ninth Division of the Ministry of Science and Technology, mentioned at the meeting that during the 14th Five Year Plan period, the Ministry of Science and Technology, together with relevant departments and localities, will continuously improve the legal policies and institutional mechanisms for science popularization work, promote the construction of major science popularization activity carriers, strengthen the construction of science popularization teams, and promote the resonance between science popularization and technological innovation. At present, the total amount of funds raised for science popularization work in China has reached 21.506 billion yuan, with a total of 2.1562 million full-time and part-time science popularization personnel, and a total of 1779 science and technology museums and museums across the country. Various science popularization activities across the country are rich in content and diverse in form, with active participation from the general public. Science popularization work is showing a thriving and good situation, "said Liu Yuxin. (New Society)
