In the process of advancing the process of building a world power in science and technology, it is of great strategic significance to continuously raise and identify major scientific and technological issues and their priorities. The China Association for Science and Technology plays the leading role of the scientific community in the academic field, guiding scientific and technological workers to face the frontiers of the world, grasp the national strategic needs, research and judge trends, identify major issues, and identify major scientific issues that are fundamental and overall.

Since 2018, the China Association for Science and Technology has organized a national societies and societies consortium to carry out a collection of major scientific issues and engineering technical problems and release them to the public. A total of 100 problems have been selected and released in three years. Among them, the 2020 solicitation and release activities collected 490 problems and problems submitted by 103 national societies, associations of societies, and enterprise science and technology associations, and more than 18,800 academicians, experts, and first-line scientific and technological workers participated.
