Abstract

Since China launched the pilot program for the construction of high-end think tanks in 2015, the Institutes of Science and Development, Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as CASISD), as the core carrier of the CAS National High-End Think Tank Pilot Program, has forged an exploratory path from specialization and scientization to disciplinization.Over the past decade, committing to the fundamental purpose of serving the scientific decision-making of the Party and the country and taking theoretical and methodological innovation as its core engine, CASISD has originally proposed the DIIS Process IntegrationMethod　and the Think Tank Double Helix Methodology, taken the lead in establishing the new discipline of think tank science and engineering, and built an integrated think tank innovation system covering “theory-methods-tools-platforms-talents”. It has achieved landmark results in serving major national strategies, supporting high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, and leading the high-quality development of think tanks. This study systematically reviews the 10-year construction practice of CASISD, summarizes the paradigm breakthroughs and practical achievements of think tank theoretical and methodological innovation, analyzes the opportunities and challenges in the new journey of the new era, and puts forward paths and measures for deepening think tank theoretical and methodological innovation and building a world-class think tank-oriented research institute, so as to provide theoretical reference and practical experience for the high-quality development of new-type think tanks with Chinese characteristics.
