《中國至2050年先進材料科技發展路綫圖(英文版)》內容簡介：As one of the eighteen field-specific reports comprising the comprehensive scopeof the strategic general report of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this sub-report addresses long-range planning for developing science and technology in thefield of advanced materials science. They each craft a roadmap for their sphere ofdevelopment to 2050. In their entirety, the general and sub-group reports analyze theevolution and laws governing the development of science and technology, describethe decisive impact of science and technology on the modernization process, predictthat the world is on the eve of an impending S&T revolution, and call for China tobe fully prepared for this new round of S&T advancement. Based on the detailedstudy of the demands on S&T innovation in Chinas modernization, the reports drawa framework for eight basic and strategic systems of socio-economic developmentwith the support of science and technology, work out Chinas S&T roadmaps for therelevant eight basic and strategic systems in line with Chinas reality, further detailS&T initiatives of strategic importance to China's modernization, and provide S&Tdecision-makers with comprehensive consultations for the development of S&Tinnovation consistent with China's reality. Supported by illustrations and tables of data, the reports provide researchers, government officials and entrepreneurs with guidance concerning research directions, the planning process, and investment.
