Chapter 1104: Can I Still Accept the Adjustment when Evaluating Academicians?

Of course, Xu Dikuang just laughed at himself casually.

The Academy of Engineering has only 70 additional places for selection in 2003, and 170 candidates have initially passed the first round of review.

It is definitely impossible to send it out.

However, sending it to a specific person may indeed require some operations.

"Dean Xu, you said..."

After a period of somewhat depressing silence, it was Du Wanxiang who spoke first.

But there was obvious hesitation in his tone:

"Is it possible to coordinate with the Academy of Sciences so that Professor Chang doesn't have to choose one of the two?"

"Um?!"

This idea is indeed somewhat whimsical.

Xu Dikuang, who was leaning on the back of the chair, sat up straight in an instant, staring straight at Du Wanxiang:

"How could..."

However, before he could finish his subconscious answer, his voice stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, he changed his words to:

"Let me think about it..."

Xu Dikuang resumed his previous posture, staring at the ceiling in concentration, one hand still tapping rhythmically on the armrest of the chair.

Although he didn't give an immediate answer, his attitude had obviously relaxed.

Du Wanxiang, who also saw this, immediately struck while the iron was hot:

"Actually, I checked specifically and found out that the regulations from my superiors are that those who already have the title of academician of one of the two academies will in principle no longer participate in the selection of the other institution. However, Professor Chang ran for election at the same time in the same year and was not subject to this provision. Within limits…”

This was actually Zhu Linyu’s original idea——

Taking advantage of a loophole in the regulations, Chang Haonan was sent to the Academy of Engineering in the name of the group.

The two of them seemed to coincide with each other.

However, Xu Dikuang raised his hand and interrupted the other party:

"Lao Du, the original intention of the superiors' regulations is to allow us to show sufficient distinction between the two sides... Of course I know the situation you mentioned, but it is obviously a loophole in the regulations..."

As the dean, his ideas are much more thorough than those of Du Wanxiang and Zhu Linyu——

Superiors are not stupid.

Playing the word game stuck bug, even if it succeeds this time, it will not be a good thing in the long run.

But the suggestion just now did inspire Xu Dikuang.

Therefore, after a brief pause, he changed the topic again:

"That's not to say that loopholes cannot be exploited, but they can only be used as icing on the cake. We at least need some more convincing reasons as a basis to give a reasonable explanation to the superior unit."

"That's easy to say."

Du Wanxiang replied almost without thinking:

"Professor Chang and I... have some indirect working contacts. I have a good idea of ​​his abilities and contributions in the field of engineering. I can mobilize comrades in the hospital to write a joint letter of recommendation and explain the situation to my superiors. …”

In fact, the two people have never met.

However, as an expert in the field of laser engineering, Du Wanxiang knows a lot about the ultra-short laser processing technology that Chang Haonan has studied in the past two years, and has even provided some resource support through the Institute of Engineering Physics and the 863 Project.

Naturally understand the latter's working ability.

However, he still misunderstood what Xu Dikuang meant.

"It's not about the joint letter..."

The latter quickly waved his hand:

"There are many researchers who have made achievements in the fields of theory and engineering... Of course, Professor Chang's ability is definitely among the best among these people, but if you only look at it from his personal point of view, there is actually no difference between one hat and two hats. , are enough to reflect his contribution to our country's scientific and technological community, so the focus is actually on us,"

"us?"

Du Wanxiang didn't understand for a while.

"Yes, we need him to hold both titles, not, or at least not just himself."

In order to express his emphasis, Xu Dikuang specially knocked on the table when he said this:

"Only by explaining this matter clearly to your superiors can you make this exception for Professor Chang."

Hearing this, Du Wanxiang blurted out:

"Isn't that the same situation as when the Academy of Engineering was first established?"

As an academician selected shortly after the establishment of the Academy of Engineering, he naturally has a good understanding of the situation in the early years——

The original intention of establishing a separate Chinese Academy of Engineering was, at least in part, to join the Council of International Academies of Engineering and Technology Sciences (CAETS) and promote exchanges between domestic and foreign engineering circles.

In fact, as early as the 1970s, the Department of Technology and Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made many applications.

But because it is not an independent unit, it has never been accepted.

Finally, in the early 1990s, in accordance with international practice, China independently established the China Academy of Engineering for the engineering and technology community.

However, unlike the Academy of Social Sciences, which was established by directly splitting off the Department of Social Sciences of the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering is not the foundation of the former Department of Technology and Science, but a completely new one.

In order for such a brand-new institution to gain international recognition in a short period of time, the superiors asked some academicians of the Academy of Sciences with high international reputation to join the Academy of Engineering at the same time.

It is equivalent to giving an "original stock".

Thanks to this, the Academy of Engineering finally joined CAETS in 1997.

In fact, Du Wanxiang didn't mean anything when he mentioned this.

After all, it is a special situation in a special historical period.

More than ten years have passed and it is impossible to happen again.

But his words reminded Xu Dikuang, who was sitting opposite.

The latter's eyes lit up instantly:

"Lao Du, Professor Chang's recommendation and nomination, which department was it finally assigned to?"

This somewhat sudden question left Du Wanxiang confused for a while.

But he still replied:

"Of course it's the Department of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering. Candidates with engineering backgrounds such as shipbuilding, aviation, aerospace, and machinery... these engineering backgrounds will basically be assigned here... Is there anything wrong with that?"

This division method is of course no problem according to common sense.

But Xu Dikuang slapped his thigh suddenly:

"Inappropriate, very inappropriate!"

The fierce reaction made Du Wanxiang even more puzzled.

Fortunately, the former quickly continued:

"Professor Chang's contribution to the field of engineering is probably not just in the fields of mechanical and vehicle engineering."

"As far as I know, he has also made great contributions in the fields of information and electronic engineering, as well as chemical industry, metallurgy and materials engineering... Especially in the computer field, who would dare to use the software developed by Torch Group? Say you haven’t used it before?”

Du Wanxiang obviously couldn't answer this question.

I had to ask:

"Then Dean, what do you mean..."

Xu Dikuang hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not immediately give an explanation:

"We still need to ask Professor Chang himself about this matter... You don't have to worry about it, I'll handle it myself!"

…

So, before Chang Haonan could leave Dongfeng Aerospace City, he saw Lin Zuoming who suddenly rushed over and said he wanted to interview him.

This is not a common form of contact.

Especially when he is expected to return to the capital in two days.

Therefore, when they first met, Chang Haonan even felt a little worried whether there was a big problem with any project.

As soon as the two sat down, Lin Zuoming said with a smile.

"Comrade Haonan, I am here this time with a major organizational task..."

At this moment, Chang Haonan breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party's tone indicated that there was no particularly serious problem.

So next, all that's left is curiosity:

"What important task has to be rushed in these two days...does Mr. Lin have to go there personally?"

Lin Zuoming smiled mysteriously:

"Dean Xu of the Academy of Engineering contacted us yesterday and asked if we could change the department you are applying for to the Department of Engineering Management..."

"puff--"

Chang Haonan, who had just taken a sip of water, almost couldn't hold back his smile. It took a lot of effort to swallow it:

"Not later..."

"Why are you already being evaluated as an academician, and why is there such a thing as professional compliance adjustment?"

His statement also amused Lin Zuoming opposite.

After a while, he regained his composure and explained:

"Dean Xu didn't explain the specific reason, but I can probably guess it..."

"The Department of Engineering Management is a new department established in 2000. It has only gone through two rounds of selection this year. On the one hand, it is small and there are many vacancies. On the other hand..."

He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice slightly:

"On the other hand, the Department of Engineering Management actually caused some controversy when it was first established... Mainly because there is an extra clause in its selection rules, which states that candidates must make important contributions in the field of engineering management. This statement This has caused many people to worry about whether it will be easier for some leading comrades who are only responsible in name to be elected..."

Chang Haonan understood instantly:

"So, are you planning to let me add some persuasiveness to this school?"

"That's right!"

Lin Zuoming nodded heavily:

"Just like when the Academy of Engineering was first established, more than thirty senior academicians from the Academy of Sciences were invited to take charge... It makes sense."

Chang Haonan didn't know that he had been taken into consideration by both parties at the same time. He just thought that the Engineering Academy acted faster and took the lead.

In fact, he didn't really care about which academic department he was assigned to.

However, there is another problem:

"But Mr. Lin, in my case... isn't it considered that I have been elected as a leader?"

Although the chief planner ranks lower, he is still a member of the team.

Proper group leadership.

If he is really selected, wouldn't it confirm the worries of outsiders?

"That's different."

Lin Zuoming decisively denied:

"Your achievements, even in terms of the public part, are recognized by everyone. Participating in the evaluation with your current title will be more convincing..."

"..."

Even if the words come to this, Chang Haonan cannot refuse:

"Since the organization needs it, I personally have no objection."

"good!"

Hearing Chang Haonan's answer, Lin Zuoming slammed the table excitedly:

"Then I will convey your opinions to Dean Xu immediately..."
