培养具备科学思维能力的人——澳门回归以来的科技创新与发展

 科学研究的目的不仅是为了成果产业化，也是为了培养具备科学思维能力的人，这一点在澳门显得非常重要。自从1999年澳门回归祖国以来，澳门特别行政区政府和广大社会人士十分重视科学研究，在法律、组织、制度和资源上，采取一系列行之有效的措施，扶持科学研究的发展。经过20年的努力，今天的澳门已经成为一个科研成果丰硕、科技人才汇集的重镇。虽然澳门在科学研究方面的投入还没有催生出有规模的高新产业，但是这些努力有效地吸引和培养了科技人才，改善了社会群体，特别是澳门的年轻一代，形成了思维方面的多元性、整体性和稳定性，保障了澳门的长期稳定繁荣与和谐发展。

Developing the capability of scientific thinking: On Macao's scientific research since its return to China

One purpose of scientific research is often considered as how it can be applied to commercialization, however, an equally important (if not more) consequence of research is the ability for researchers to think scientifically. This is especially important for Macao, a highly developed capitalistic gaming city. Since its return to China in 1999, the Macao government and the public community at large have made tremendous efforts to initiate scientific research and have implemented legal, organizational, and resource measures to systematically support scientific research. Today's Macao has attracted research talents and achieved new productivity in research and development. While the investment of scientific research by Macao has not yet resulted in a large-scale high-tech industry, the development of scientific research has certainly helped Macao residents, particularly the younger generation, to pursue long-term prosperity and stability for Macao.
