Overseas Talents Program settles in the High-tech Zone

China Association for Science and Technology has officially issued a document to approve the foundation of "Help Our Motherland through Elite Intellectual Resources from Overseas" Program Hubei (High-tech Zone in Xiangyang) Work base. This is the first time that China Association for Science and Technology set up such a work base in a prefecture-level city in this province. This program (HOME Program -- Help Our Motherland through Elite Intellectual Resources from Overseas), initiated by China Association for Science and Technology and 35 overseas famous teams of science and technology, was officially carried out in 2004 to construct a green channel for overseas high-end talents and projects serving economic and social development in Xiangyang.

中国科学技术协会已经正式发文承认“海外智力为国服务行动计划”湖北（襄阳高新区）工作点的成立。这是中国科学技术协会第一次在湖北省的地级市成立这样的一个工作点。这个行动计划（海智计划——海外智力为国服务行动计划）由中国科学技术协会和35个国外知名科技团队共同发起，于2004年正式开展，打造海外高层次人才和项目为襄阳经济社会发展服务的绿色通道。

After its foundation, this base will serve as a platform used for gathering talents and promoting high-end overseas science and technology exchanges, and will be used to further enhance technology exchanges, talent introductions, and the construction of new scientific research institutions; discover and recommend talents mastering core technologies in strategic emerging industries including next-generation information technology, new energy, new material, biology, and precision manufacturing, especially leading ones; and promote international scientific and technological cooperation. 

该基地设立之后，将作为聚才纳贤和高端海外科技交流合作的平台，来加强科技交流、人才引进、新型科研机构建设，发现和推荐在新一代信息技术、新能源、新材料、生物、精密制造等战略性新兴产业掌握核心技术的人才，尤其是领军人才，促进国际科技合作创新。
