At the meeting, 35 project leaders of the Outstanding Youth Science Fund of the Beijing Natural Science Foundation were announced. The reporter noticed that the average age of these Beijing "outstanding youths" is only 37 years old, and the youngest are the "post-85s" who are only 33 years old.
The reporter noticed that the research content of this batch of outstanding youth science fund projects involves artificial intelligence, medical-industry intersection, new materials and other key development areas of capital science and technology. In terms of research types, there are both original innovation theoretical research and technical research oriented to specific application scenarios. They are both an important part of Beijing's construction of a national science and technology innovation center, and it is a high-tech field that Beijing urgently needs to develop. These young scientists have outstanding scientific research potential, and many of them have achieved pioneering results in the field in their preliminary research, such as calculating the carbon dioxide absorption of cement materials on a global scale for the first time; proposing a distributed and online fast Bayesian inference algorithm; designing A series of new tumor-specific imaging probes have been developed.
The youngest applicants are Zhou Xuming, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Yu Biying, Beijing Institute of Technology, both 33 years old.
According to reports, the Beijing Natural Science Foundation Distinguished Young Scientists Fund Project was established in 2018 and is positioned to guide young academic leaders under 40, the most creative and active in scientific research, and strive to cultivate A group of outstanding young academic leaders and innovative teams with international influence have hit the first echelon of international academics.

Three projects have reached cooperation intentions with investment institutions, high-tech enterprises, and incubators.
At the morning meeting, representatives of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission, the Haidian Park Management Committee of Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, and Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone signed the "Letter of Intent for Cooperation with the National Natural Science Foundation of China Regional Innovation and Development Joint Fund (Beijing)". Give better play to the guiding role of the National Natural Science Foundation, attract and gather superior scientific research forces across the country, and solve the basic research needs of Beijing's construction of a national science and technology innovation center in the fields of artificial intelligence, biomedicine and other basic scientific problems of "stuck neck" key core technologies . In addition, the small program "Jing Chuang Yuan" of Beijing Natural Science Foundation, which aims to provide a communication platform for innovative groups, has also been officially launched.
