Ministry of Ecology and Environment: Exploring and innovating a new model of integration between "reaching up to the sky" and "grounded in reality" in popular science.

On March 30, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held its routine press conference for March. Wang Zhibin, Director of the Science and Finance Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, stated that in promoting the "dual-winged" development of science and technology popularization, they are continuously exploring a new model of integrating "research + popularization". They rely on both technological innovation and scientific popularization. The first Eco-Environmental Science and Technology Week's opening event, based on open laboratories of research institutes and other platforms, turned professional monitoring data and governance models into popular science experiences for the public, attracting over 3,000 students of all levels, international visitors on-site, and 650,000 online viewers. The "cutting-edge" in the laboratory has become accessible and tangible, effectively promoting the validation of the value of ecological and environmental science and technology achievements in popularization, promoting transformation in communication, and truly achieving the "dual-winged" development of technology innovation and scientific popularization.
