华为创始人任正非，是和大学校长互动最频繁的民营企业家，没有之一。 不止西安交大。 一个月前，上海交大校长、党委副书记、中国科学院院士丁奎岭访问华为，任正非在总部拉维尼亚克图书馆会见。 除了今年，过去几年任正非还陆续会见了多所大学校长，而最密集的会见发生在2020年。 中国的民营企业家当中，有些热衷于成为政府部门的座上宾，也有人热衷于在群体中拉圈子，但任正非是个特例，他更喜欢和大学校长会面。 和大学校长会面，华为方面都是相当重视的。 8月18日，西安交大党委书记和校长去华为，不仅任正非亲自会见，华为其余的高管也都参加了，其中就有华为公司董事查钧，他的另一个身份是华为 2012实验室负责人。 近日，西安交大党委书记卢建军，校长、中国工程院院士张立群去华为总部交流，任正非会见。 当年7月至9月，任正非密集访问了上海交大、复旦大学、东南大学、南京大学、北京大学、清华大学、中国科学院、北京航空航天大学、中国科学院大 学、北京邮电大学和北京理工大学等高校。 跟随任正非密集访问大学的还有时任华为董事、战略研究院院长徐文伟，2012实验室总裁何庭波等。 任正非也是国内少有的，在访问大学时可以提"要求"的企业家。 查钧表示，华 ...

Group 1 - The 2025 Future Science Prize was announced on August 6, highlighting the renewed interest in fundamental research [1][5] - The prize aims to promote basic scientific research and recognize original breakthroughs, having awarded over 40 winners in its 10-year history [5] - The award has gained significant influence as a private science and technology award, alongside national awards, encouraging scientists to pursue research [5] Group 2 - The Life Science Award was given to three scientists for their work supporting the theory that birds originated from dinosaurs, including the discovery of feathered dinosaur fossils [4] - The Material Science Award recognized researchers for their contributions to the discovery and prediction of topological electronic materials, which have applications in spintronics, quantum computing, and energy technology [4] - The methods developed by the awarded scientists have been widely adopted by researchers globally, indicating their significant impact on the field [4]

Core Insights - The article discusses the significant reduction in funding for basic scientific research in the United States, particularly highlighting the impact on mathematics research and the long-term consequences for innovation and technology development [2][3][4]. Funding Cuts - The National Science Foundation (NSF) plans to cut basic science funding by more than half by 2025, with the upcoming budget proposal indicating further substantial reductions [4]. - In mathematics, funding has dropped to $32 million this year, compared to an average of $113 million over the past decade, equating to less than $0.22 per person annually, down from $0.80 [4]. Impact on Research and Innovation - The reduction in funding has led to difficulties in maintaining basic research activities, with many innovative projects relying on a small number of volunteers [3][4]. - The lack of long-term investment in basic research is expected to delay or prevent key technological advancements, affecting the growth of the next generation of innovators and the country's long-term competitiveness [3][6]. Indirect Contributions of Basic Research - Basic mathematical research, while seemingly distant from practical applications, plays a crucial role in driving broader scientific ecosystems and ultimately leads to real-world applications [6][7]. - For example, methods developed from theoretical explorations in high-dimensional space have become essential tools for solving practical problems in telecommunications, such as efficient signal encoding [7].

Group 1 - The 2025 Sohu Technology Annual Forum focused on cutting-edge topics in the tech industry, including breakthroughs in basic science, the industrial application of technological revolutions, and artificial intelligence [1] - Sohu's CEO Zhang Chaoyang highlighted that the AI industry has entered a fast track in recent years, with diverse developments in embodied intelligence, while also emphasizing the importance of verifying information amidst the ease of access provided by AI [1] - Tsinghua University professor Zheng Weimin outlined the five stages of the artificial intelligence model lifecycle: data acquisition, preprocessing, model training, fine-tuning, and inference, noting that the first three stages require significant computing power and storage resources typically handled by major tech companies [1] Group 2 - Former president of Xi'an Jiaotong University Wang Shuguo stated that many innovations and new forms of leadership come from society, suggesting that universities should break out of traditional disciplinary confines [1] - Sun Lijun, former vice president of Beijing Film Academy, argued that education for artistic talent in the AI era should challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries [1] - Wang Qizhou, Deputy General Manager of Yushu Technology, expressed optimism about the future of humanoid robots, suggesting that if young people believe in this industry, humanoid robots may eventually become a reality [1] Group 3 - Chinese Academy of Sciences academician Wang Yifang emphasized the importance of advanced scientific instruments, such as photon microscopes and large hadron colliders, for enhancing national technological competitiveness and expressed hope for more contributions in basic scientific research from China in the future [2]
