We are confident of being among the top three research academies throughout the world.

With the successful implementation of the plans, CAS will become among the world's top five research bodies in terms of innovative research output by 2010 and in the world's top three by 2020.

We support leading scientists who make concrete and crucial contributions to the innovation of science and technology.
