It is reported that the Chinese academy of engineering released the "global frontiers of engineering 2018" and held a press conference at which academician li xiaohong, President of the Chinese academy of engineering, attended and delivered a speech. Li xiaohong pointed out that in the critical period of building a strong country in science and technology, it is a challenge for scientists and technicians to grasp the initiative of innovation and development, promote high-quality economic development and ensure the well-being of the people. We need to clearly observe the trend from a global perspective and foresee the future from a strategic height. The frontier of engineering is an important starting point for academic development and industrial upgrading, and an important guide for the future direction of engineering science and technology. The academy of engineering should continue to improve the cutting-edge research platform of engineering, attract more scientists and engineers from different fields and industries, pool the wisdom of global engineering and technology talents, and provide timely and forward-looking reference for planning the strategic layout of national engineering and technology and grasping the development strategic opportunities.

Robert Lemmond, chief commercial officer of cervico security ball, who attended the event and delivered a speech, said: "as a strategic partner of the Chinese academy of engineering, we are deeply honored to participate in the completion of the global frontiers in engineering 2018 report. The report combines the expertise of the Chinese academy of engineering (cae) with high-quality data from crewe in areas such as research and intellectual property to provide forward-looking insights into the field of engineering science. China has become a world-class research and development center and a core driver of global innovation. We sincerely hope to continue to work with the Chinese academy of engineering to contribute to China's development and innovation.

President su yuheng of higher education press attended the meeting and delivered a welcome speech, and academician qian xuhong, President of east China normal university understood and read the report. Subsequently, academician li deyi of the Chinese academy of engineering and the Eurasian academy of sciences, academician peng xianjue of the Chinese academy of engineering physics, professor Chen yiyi of tongji university, professor wu yilong, director of the guangdong provincial people's hospital and director of the national lung cancer quality control center made vivid interpretation of several key projects selected in the report. Former President of the Chinese academy of engineering, academician zhou ji, honorary chairman of the presidium, and more than 200 experts from related fields attended the meeting.

Since the Chinese academy of engineering organized and carried out the global frontier research on engineering in 2017, it has attempted to combine quantitative analysis with qualitative research in depth at the macro strategic level, to promote in-depth interaction between experts in literature and data analysis and technical experts in the field, paying attention to the research trend of engineering science and technology as well as the development trend of engineering science and technology. The scale of cutting-edge engineering research is huge, and hundreds of institutions including universities, research institutes, enterprises and industry associations as well as thousands of scientific and technological workers have been mobilized. In the future, the report will be released every year.

At the 2018 congress of academicians of the Chinese academy of sciences and the Chinese academy of sciences, general secretary xi jinping stressed that we should grasp the general trend of science and technology development in the world, focus on building a strong country in science and technology, keenly grasp the direction of scientific and technological revolution, vigorously promote the leapfrog development of science and technology, and climb the peak of science and technology.

Since 2017, the Chinese academy of engineering has launched research on "" global frontiers in engineering" ". Research around 9 department of China academy of engineering, relying on the "1 + 9 + 1" series of proceedings, would be 94 engineering research front and 96 engineering development frontier, and the key of the interpretation of focus 27 engineering research front and 27 engineering development frontier, an annual report in Chinese and English forms to the global and purport to in the future direction of the development of science and technology, give play to the role of academic lead, guide the engineering science and technology innovation.

Global engineering frontier research based on the data analysis, based on expert analysis, comply with the quantitative research and qualitative research, the combination of data mining and expert evidence demonstration phase, project research front and valuing the engineering development frontier, especially pay attention to According to interactions with several rounds of depth of the experts, comprehensive integration and iteration step by step, refining the annual global engineering frontier. In terms of data analysis, the basic materials of engineering frontier selection in each field were obtained by comprehensive use of journal papers (included in SCIE), conference papers and global patent data for expert reference. In terms of expert research and judgment, document intelligence experts and domain experts are fully involved in the supplement of data sources, the refining and revision of frontier directions, and the interpretation of key frontier directions.

This report is made up of two parts. The second part includes machinery and vehicle engineering, information and electronic engineering, chemical industry, metallurgy and materials engineering, energy and mining engineering, water conservancy and civil engineering, the environment and textile engineering, agriculture, medicine and health care, and engineering management nine field reports, for each engineering research in the field of leading and kicked off at the forefront of description and analysis, and detailed analysis was carried out on the key frontier.
