Recently, China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) issued theNotice on the Announcement of the List of Outstanding Units in the Work for Popularization of Science and Technology of China Institute of Navigation in 2021. Eighty-one national institutes, including the China Institute of Navigation (CIN), were awarded as Outstanding Units in the Work for Popularization of Science and Technology (PST) of National Institutes in 2021. This is the eighth consecutive year that we have received this award since 2014.
The Department of Science and Technology Popularization of the CAST recently announced theNotice of the Assessment Results of the Activities in the National Science Popularization Day 2021, and we are once again on the list of outstanding organization units for this activity. Nine science popularization activities recommended by our Institute, including "Promoting Maritime Culture and Passing on the Blue Gene", "Little Navigators" and "Science Popularization Help the Dream of Blue Sea", were selected into the “Outstanding Activities for National Science Popularization Day 2021".
We also received a certificate of honor from the Organization Committee Office of the National Science and Technology Activity Week and the Department of Technology Talents and Science Popularization of the Ministry of Science and Technology, recognizing our work and performance in the National Science and Technology Activity Week and major demonstration activities in 2021.
In 2021, guided by the priorities of PST in 2021 made by the CAST, our Institute vigorously promoted the spirits of scientists and navigation. Taking major events such as Science and Technology Activity Week, National Science Popularization Day and China Maritime Day as opportunities, we carried out dozens of science popularization activities with navigational characteristics. In 2021, we Institute named 4 new navigational science education bases and recognized all bases that had been designated for 5 years. In accordance with the requirements of relevant documents of CAST, we actively recommended national science popularization education bases, advanced figures and excellent works of science popularization. In order to promote the creation of marine science popularization and display the achievements of marine science popularization culture, we carried out the selection of the Science and Technology Award (Science Popularization Award) of CIN for the first time, with 14 projects being awarded. On the basis of a team of volunteers and experts for marine science popularization, the Working Committee of Marine Science Popularization of CIN was established.
In the new year, the Institute will value the honor and make further efforts. Focusing on brand, platform, mechanism, team, reform and position, we will build a high-quality science popularization service system, unite and lead the science and technology workers, and make greater contributions to promote the vigorous development of marine science popularization and enhance the scientific quality for all.
