Recently, Tang Chengchun's team from Hebei University of Technology and Tianyuan Aviation Materials Science and Technology Co., Ltd. "joined hands" to develop high-end Boron nitride products based on the research achievements of Boron nitride new materials, which is expected to fill the domestic gap. The achievement transformation contract amount reached 15 million yuan.

This is the 12th "ten million level" achievement transformation project of Hebei universities. Before 2022, this number was still zero.

From 0 to 12, the change stems from reform.

Colleges and universities are a "rich mine" of innovative resources. In order to solve the long-standing problem of "unwillingness to transfer, dare not transfer, and inability to transfer" among scientific researchers in universities and institutions from the source, starting from 2022, Hebei has launched a pilot project to grant ownership or long-term use rights to scientific and technological achievements to scientific researchers, with a duration of three years.

Hebei University of Technology is one of the 10 pilot units. Li Hongshi, Director of the Technology Transfer Center of the school, introduced: "Taking our school as an example, we grant researchers long-term access, disposal, and profit rights to scientific and technological achievements, allowing teachers to 'transfer with peace of mind'. 95% of the conversion profits are rewarded to teachers, which is the highest among universities in the province. During the evaluation of professional titles, we also lean towards achievement conversion, allowing teachers to 'actively transfer'. There are more conversion methods, replacing 'one-time buyout' and allowing teachers to 'flexibly transfer'

On June 3rd, the reporter saw at Hebei Wentai Group New Energy Co., Ltd. that every 12 minutes, a new type of heating equipment comes offline from here.

Kong Xiangfei, the head of the equipment research and development Team leader and professor of Hebei University of Technology, told reporters: "This equipment and new heat storage materials are the results of five years of research and development, the heat storage density is 10 times that of water heat storage, and the cost is much lower than that of traditional heating methods."

Last June, this achievement was converted for 11 million yuan.

Taking out tens of millions of yuan to buy technology, many companies' can't afford it 'or' can't bear it ', "Kong Xiangfei said. In the cooperation between the team and Wentai Group, companies only need to pay a small amount of research start-up funds first, and then allocate a certain share of profits every year. The total amount calculated is 11 million yuan. This model allows companies to" afford "good technology, and the R&D team will continue to improve product quality.

At present, there are 9 "ten million level" achievement transformation projects at Hebei University of Technology, with a total contract amount exceeding 200 million yuan. Yanshan University, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University and other pilot universities have also achieved a breakthrough of "ten million level".

More high-quality scientific research achievements are accelerating their exit from laboratories, entering production workshops, and moving towards the frontline of application.

Lv Jianhua's team from Hebei University of Technology completed the first "100 million level" achievement transformation "big order" of colleges and universities in the province, turning "worthless" by-products in the production of chemical enterprises into "high-value" power battery electrolyte raw materials; Du Yanliang's team from Shijiazhuang Tiedao University signed a contract with Hebei Communications Investment Group to reduce the rate of major collapse accidents by more than 90% by breaking through the common key technologies of urban road collapse disasters in typical geological structures

Empowerment reform has achieved significant results in over half of the competition, allowing us to more firmly loosen the constraints on innovation and fully integrate industry, academia, and research. "Wang Kailiang, a second level researcher at the Science and Technology Award and Achievement Transformation Department of the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, said that next, Hebei Province will explore models such as state-owned asset separation and first use, then payment, to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements by taking advantage of the" high-speed rail "and make the driving force of scientific and technological innovation even stronger.
