Haidian Park, a subpark of Zhongguancun Science Park, China's first national science and technology demonstration zone, will set up workstations to attract more national intelligence resources for high-tech innovation.
Haidian Park has launched workstations for three groups of talent – academicians, postdoctorates and young talents – together with the Beijing Association for Science of Beijing and the association's Haidian branch.
A total of 11 new workstations have been established in the past year, including four workstations for academicians, six sub-workstations for postdoctorates and one innovation practice base for young postdoctorates.
In addition, 11 academicians and experts have joined the workstations. The total number of workstations for academicians reached 15, accounting for 37.5 percent of the city's total.
The sub-workstations for postdoctorates in the park totaled 54, accounting for nearly 60 percent of the city's total.
More than half of the postdoctorates chose to take technical or management positions in the enterprises when they left the stations. The rest returned to their universities to serve as a bridge between their universities and enterprises.
Haidian Park is home to 75 workstations and 69 enterprises. Nearly all of them operate in emerging strategic industries, including 14 in cloud computing; 14 in mobile Internet and next generation Internet; 12 in bioengineering and new medicine; 12 in new materials, renewable energy, energy conservation and environment protection; four in navigation and location service; and three in integrated circuits design.
