China built 361 off-campus postdoctoral research centers in 2008 and selected 3,997 people to receive special government allowances, said Yin Weimin, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security, during the national human resources and social security working conference held on February 19.


China also for the first time included 400 highly skilled talents in the State Council's special allowance program. In addition, there were over two million people participating in the knowledge upgrading training program for specialized technical personnel.


Yin said the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security worked with the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee in 2008 to enact and implement the plan to bring 1,000 high-level talents from overseas and continued to carry out the financial aid program for Chinese scholars who had studied abroad and returned home to work. The program has provided subsidies to 290 people, with total financial aid reaching 14.09 million yuan.


The ministry and the department also conducted research to provide opinions on the reform of the engineering system, announced evaluation measures for postdoctoral research centers located in educational institutes and off-campus postdoctoral research centers, and offered special subsidies for postdoctoral scientific funds. They also printed and distributed guidance opinions regarding evaluation work on corporate technological talents, and launched the pilot program of implementing evaluations for corporate technological personnel at 60 large-sized enterprises directly under the supervision of the Central Government.
