摘要

There has been a remarkable event in the Chinese academia in the past months that deserves attention. China Association of Science and Technology (the largest S&T organization in China comprising more than 200 national member societies) and Peking University have jointly founded an'Institute of Chinese Scientific Culture'. This was followed by the establishment in Peking University of a new department of'History of Science, Technology and Medicine'. These institutions are marked by their unique cross-disciplinary nature in research and education that encompasses all areas of sciences and humanities, and their goal of nurturing a new brand of intellectuals that China urgently needs for future development in science and society.
