Each CAS institute in Wuhan reported their progress made as indicated in their respective “One-Three-Five” development planning and Pioneer Initiative.    

BAI Chunli said that CAS institutes in Wuhan have all achieved positive and pioneering research progress in the implementation of the “One-Three-Five” development plan. The institutes have made clearer their research goals and given full play of their research strengths.    

He emphasized that the institute shall be oriented with “Three Directions”, aiming to achieve the goal set up in the Pioneer Initiative. Based on the overall requirements listed in the restructuring of the CAS institutes, the institute shall make clear of its positioning and development goals and cultivate its own disciplinary strengths.   

Bai said that the institute shall conceive its development plan on the basis of the state’s demand, not simply on the demands of the institute. The collaboration between institutes and regions is strongly recommended.
