This morning, the "2022 "Ideal City" Global High-level Scientists Analysis Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was released at the Pujiang Innovation Forum results conference.
This report conducts statistical analysis and correlation research on 20 global technology innovation center cities, high-level scientists who have emerged in recent years, and their academic achievements, covering the past 10 years and a total of more than 700,000 first-hand technologies. Based on statistical data, we focus on the symbiotic development relationship between high-level scientists and scientific and technological innovation center cities.
What highlights can we read in the data of this report? Let’s take a look at the analysis ↓
The report pointed out that the global gathering of scientific and technological innovation talents is showing the trend of "East Asia-North America- Western Europe regional triangle", and Beijing and Shanghai have initially formed global highlands where high-level scientists gather.
Chang Jing, director and researcher of the Innovation Policy Research Office of the Shanghai Institute of Science, interpreted the report and said that in 2021, Beijing, Shanghai, New York, London, Boston, the number of high-level scientists ranked among the top five of the world's 20 major cities, and Hong Kong , Shenzhen ranked 10th and 14th respectively.
From 2012 to 2021, the number of top 2000 top scientists in academic contribution measured by the sum of paper impact factors in 20 cities around the world, Beijing, Boston, New York, London, and Moscow ranked in the top five, and the number of top scientists in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen ranked 13 and 14 respectively. and 17 bits.
The number of high-level scientists in Shanghai has nearly tripled in ten years
In 2021, the total number of high-level scientists in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Shenzhen will reach approximately 3.5 times that in 2012. There will be more than 8,000 more high-level scientists in Shanghai in 2021 than in 2012, a growth rate of 283.5%. The total number of people exceeds 3.8 times that of 2012. In recent years, it has shown a good trend of further accelerating the gathering of talents.
's tracking analysis of the author address information of "Nature Index" journal articles in 20 major cities around the world from 2012 to 2021 shows that among the 20 cities in the world from 2012 to 2021, Beijing, Shanghai, New York, Shenzhen, and Boston are the most important. The top five cities for talent inflow. Among them, nearly 2,500 are in Shanghai. The total number of high-level scientists gathered in Shanghai, as well as the number of inflows and outflows, ranks among the top 20 cities in the world.
However, Chang Jing said that the city’s universal attraction and openness and inclusiveness to global talents also mean to a certain extent the important characteristics of a world-class high-level talent highland city.
Compared with central cities in developed countries, Chinese cities still need to further improve the diversity of global talent sources.
The three major regional agglomeration effects are significant.
Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area also have their own characteristics.
Shanghai’s status as a talent hub is highlighted and its attractiveness to overseas talents is outstanding. From 2012 to 2021, the number of high-level scientists in Shanghai increased from 2,940 to 11,215, an increase of 281.46%. The total impact factor of the annual "Nature Index" journal articles published by Shanghai scientists increased by 449.52%. Judging from the international flow of high-level scientists, the number of talents introduced to Shanghai from central cities in developed countries from 2012 to 2021 generally exceeds the number of talents flowing out.
The total number of papers published by scientists in the world's major cities in "Nature Index" journals from 2018 to 2020
Its excellent innovation platform and innovation environment have strongly attracted global talents.
Regarding the inflow trend of high-level scientists in Shanghai, Chang Jing said that this is also closely related to the talent policy adopted by Shanghai in recent years. “From Talent 20, Talent 30 to Talent Leading Strategy and Talent Peak Project, Shanghai has been Many new policies for talents have also been released, and the policy advantages are relatively obvious. In addition, Shanghai’s scientific research institutions also have their own strength, showing a trend of increasing the number of imported talents and diversified interdisciplinary exchanges.”
