To support the industries to make innovation 支 持 建 立 以 企 业 为 核 心 的 创 新 体 系

选择科研方向的准则 The criteria to support a suitable research topic

• 选题要对工业界有用

Demand by industry

• 存在科学/技术问题

There exist science/technique unknown

• 要能积累（不能打一枪换一个地方，“家有常业，虽饥不饿；国有

常法，虽危不亡”） Must be able to accumulate “know how”

• 不做（工业界）主流，不离开主流

Never to do things in the main stream and to compete with industries, and, never to be distant from the main stream

– 钱、人 research funding, and, talent – 学生要找工作 The student must get Jobs after they graduated

• 做世界上最好的事情，同时，让世界上（同行）知道我们做的最好

（Las Angeles Times, August 3, 2009 ）

美国每千新生儿中有1~2个全聋患者，其中40％在三岁 前植入人工耳蜗，这个比例比五年前增长了25％ One or two of every 1,000 U.S. children are born profoundly deaf. About 40% of such children now receive a cochlear implant, up from about 25% five years ago.
