Sharing scientific research equipment: Open the door of scientific research and innovation

According to Economic Voice, "Global Finance" reported that sharing economy, the essence is to make full use of the insufficient use of idle resources to maximize efficiency, reduce costs and reduce waste.But at present, some of the shared economic model blind increase or even play Gimmicks, speculation concept, but cause waste of resources, and the original intention of sharing economy runs counter to.

Economic Voice launched a series of reports, "Defining Sharing: The Inspiration of Five Samples", through the investigation of five shared economic samples, the original Qingyuan.Currently released the fifth: "Sharing research instrument , Open the door to scientific research and innovation. "

Chinese Academy of Sciences set up equipment Shared management platform has been on-line equipment worth over 11 billion

'For the purpose of scientific research, the instrument is like a human eye. Without instruments, it is basically equivalent to blind people's imagination.' "Mr. Ma, who works at the institute, often frets about finding a suitable scientific instrument for experiments.

For a long time, the instruments and equipment have been 'closed' at scientific research institutes, not to mention that they are open to the society and are also difficult to use internally. It is also heard that the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the state's top research institute, has set up a platform for sharing management instruments and equipment, opening up shared scientific research instruments, Mr. Ma is very excited.

Reporter login 'Chinese Academy of Sciences equipment and equipment to share management platform', a large number of scientific research equipment and pictures show in the eyes.Chinese Academy of Sciences Equipment Project Management Office Director Zhang Hongsong said that currently has more than 8,000 large-scale equipment, the value of more than 11 billion yuan. The equipment is not only shared with more than 100 institutes in the Academy of Sciences, but also open to the public. 'Know the instrument, you search for this instrument; if you do not know, then you can say what I want to do, and there will be some results. When you make a reservation, it pops up a window with a contact and you call him. If this experiment is done and you want to go for a long time, I'll give you a legal identity, and you later Go directly to login.

Solve the problem of 'demand can not be met, resources are not open'

The mode of sharing by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is in line with the basic meanings of a shared economy, making use of existing scientific and technological resources and opening up to the public. The boundary of resources has been opened up. There is an effective solution to the problem that "there is a demand that can not be met and resources are not open to the outside world." , Researchers have a more convenient technology platform, innovation and entrepreneurship also reduces the cost of scientific research.For a small example, the centrifuge is a common separation equipment, most of the biochemical research topics need it, if the number of topics by the configuration Is a great waste of resources.Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Biophysics to focus on the configuration approach to the different uses and specifications of the centrifuge unified management, open sharing platform, greatly improving the efficiency of the use of resources.

Mr. Ma said: "In the absence of these shared platform, often used instruments may be limited to this department and department.However, instrument sharing platform is established, you need which instrument can be easily found on this platform, Then make an appointment, it will be much easier.

With abundant science and technology resources, the Chinese Academy of Sciences relies on the 'sharing model' and has become a 'science-filled compound yard without walls' that radiates the Quartet and benefits the public. The equipment and equipment sharing management platform has been used in 15 large-scale instrument regional centers , 114 Institute successfully applied, there are currently more than 40,000 users.

Zhang Hongsong introduced: 'At present, the system basically covers the major cities of our country in the country, and it is a cross-city system that enables a unified network to visit each other across the country.'

10 years ago, the CAS had the idea of ​​"sharing equipment and devices." It took 10 months and the shared platform 1.0 system was deployed in 10 large-scale centers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Then, 2.0 system, the number of instruments can be shared from the initial more than 1,000 units, rapidly increasing to more than 4000. CAS also homeopathic introduced the 3.0 system.In the new system, users can do real-time monitoring of scientific research data. "The quality of the instrument is good and I can find it on this platform, but it also simplifies the day-to-day work of scientists with a billing function that simplifies reimbursement," said Zhang Hongsong.

Share scientific research equipment samples: pay attention to service and obligation

On the surface, such sharing is much like renting, but leasing is based on the precondition of 'monopolizing' the resources in the traditional economy, but simply buying time, 'money for real thing' while sharing the economy is built under the new economy In essence, social resources have the concept of social ownership, which means that social resources should not be monopolized but should be shared by the whole society. The samples shared by Chinese Academy of Sciences are different from shared accommodation and shared parking. Profit is not the core But more public, more emphasis on service, and more emphasis on obligations.

Zhang Hongsong said: "Why do we share, because it is convenient. Equipment here, we have the obligation to put idle equipment in the system. You do not have to share out, the Academy need not be able to serve the community. Enterprises may need The university teachers need them. '

As the scientific research instruments of the Chinese Academy of Sciences rely on the input of the state, the state explicitly put forward the proposal of 'promoting the purchase of instruments and equipment for the financial capital to the public', so when the scientific instruments are shared, they only charge for the experiment. Zhang Hongsong said that if it is a commercial activity, Labor costs, 'When we open to the outside world, we only charge for the consumption of the experiment itself, such as utilities, or experimental consumables. We only charge the basic cost and we do not charge any additional fees.'

Focus on services and obligations, but also reflected in the maintenance of research equipment, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shi Guangjun, director of intelligent laboratory equipment and instruments shared that they will provide more attentive service based on user experience. 'From the user's point of view, with the platform to micro-service In the form of laboratory to meet some scientific research, personalized management needs.

Zhang Hongsong said: 'Our goal is to create an environment that will help scientists to improve the overall efficiency of scientific research. This time, you do not have to go public for the system. It will naturally be shared and your overall research and innovation will be enhanced.'

Will there be more channels of scientific research equipment to join the sharing platform?

At present, 'Chinese Academy of Sciences equipment and equipment sharing management platform' is only shared scientific research instruments belonging to the CAS. In the future, will there be more channels of scientific research equipment to join the platform? Jiao Wenbin, director of management information technology and application development of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Affirmative answer: 'We also want to expand our better practices to the outside world. Academy of Sciences in this regard is very open, and our ability to build this platform can also support such an expansion of the technological environment is changing, the demand is also Changing, more and more advocating this kind of shared economy can indeed bring accelerators to many young students and researchers.

Scientific research equipment, sophisticated high-end, expensive; scientific research projects are numerous, limited funds.This seemingly contradictory ends, due to the sharing of open service platform and closely linked.In the right direction, with the policy support, With institutional guarantees, we believe that the development of a shared platform for scientific instruments must be sustainable.
