21-622: Founded on April 25, 2001, NAOC was formed through the merging of four Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) observatories, three CAS observing stations and one CAS research centre. The Headquarters of the NAOC are situated in the northern Chaoyang District of Beijing on the site of the former Beijing Astronomical Observatory (BAO), and take responsibility for all matters relating to the former BAO. Currently, NAOC has 7 astronomical research departments listed follows: Besides apparatus like 2.16m optical telescope and 50m radio telescope, NAOC also operates

A team led by CAS vice president Fang Yi instructed schools, factories, and communes to organize youth-focused events celebrating science and technology. In 1977, the Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences was split off of CAS and reorganized into the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and led by Hu Qiaomu. The Graduate School of

84-760: A dynamic range over 30 magnitudes, plotted a clear structure of dark matter haloes with mass ranging from earth-size to cosmological scale. The simulation provides a detailed universe structure under L-CDM model. NAOC took part in a wide range of International collaborations, include Square Kilometre Array (SKA), Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), Herschel Space Observatory , and Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey (BASS), etc. Meanwhile, several NAOC developing projects are also international collaborated, including FAST. NAOC also started cooperation with futuristic projects like Einstein Probe (EP), CSST, etc. Chinese Academy of Sciences The Chinese Academy of Sciences ( CAS ; 中国科学院 )

105-698: A focus during the Cultural Revolution . Deng emphasized that "the Academy of Sciences is an Academy of Sciences, not an Academy of Cabbage." Deng assigned CAS vice president Hu Yaobang to draft a plan for overhauling CAS. Deng and his aide Hu Qiaomu revised the draft and in September 1974 issued "The Outline Report on the Work of the Academy of Sciences". The Outline described scientific research in China as lagging behind

According to the Bylaws for Members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences adopted in 1992 and recently amended in 2014, it is the highest academic title in China. A formal CAS member must hold Chinese citizenship , although foreign citizens may be elected as CAS foreign academicians. Members older than 80 are designated as "senior members" and may no longer hold leading positions in

147-573: Is the national academy for natural sciences and the highest consultancy for science and technology of the People's Republic of China . It is the world's largest research organization, with 106 research institutes, 2 universities, 71,300 full-time employees, and 79 thousand graduate students. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has historical origins in the Academia Sinica during the Republican era and

168-892: The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST) and one of the largest radio observatory, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The future China Space Station Telescope (CSST) will also be operated by NAOC. Editorial departments of Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (RAA) and China National Astronomy (中国国家天文) are located in NAOC. NAOC currently have 4 direct subordinate units, with 2 astronomical observatory, 1 artificial satellite observing station and 1 astronomical instrument developing institute. In 2019, FAST observation to fast radio burst (FRB) event FRB180301 reveals that

189-492: The University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences , which is among the world's top five universities ranked by Nature Index . In 2024, Clarivate's Highly Cited Researchers list contained 308 CSA members. This made CSA researchers the largest group on the list by institution, and the sixth largest by country. The Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth is a branch of CAS. The Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth

210-585: The peer-reviewed academic journal , Science China (also known as Science in China ). Science China comprises seven series: CAS also promotes the China Open Access Journals (COAJ) platform, a national variant of the international Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Since 1999, the CAS has issued the annual State Preeminent Science and Technology Award , presented by the President of China to

231-586: The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) was established in 2001 as a successor to the Graduate School of the University of Science and Technology of China (Beijing).The Ministry of Education (MOE) approved the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) application to change its name to the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) on July 23, 2012. Additionally, the MOE recommended that CAS discontinue

252-578: The Outline Report was revived and adopted as CAS's official policy. Shortly after his return, Deng hosted a series of meetings on science and education in which he stated that science should become the forerunner of China's modernization. Following these remarks, CAS prepared its goals for natural science disciplines to be achieved by 1985, stating that as a developing socialist country, China should strengthen basic scientific research through foreign exchanges. To further promote this agenda, Deng began

273-750: The Twelve-Year Science Plan and formed the Beijing Institute of Computing Technology under the CAS. In 1964, CAS debuted China's first self-developed large digital computer , the 119. The 119 was a core technology in facilitating China's first successful nuclear weapon test ( Project 596 ), also in 1964. Beginning in 1972, CAS began promoting the idea of balancing applied research with more theoretical research and in having scientific exchanges with other developing countries. As vice premier, Deng Xiaoping in 1975 also sought to re-orient CAS towards more theoretical research, which had not been

294-544: The most famous. The academy also runs the University of Science and Technology of China and the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences , both of which are among the world's top four institutions in the Nature Index rankings.
