The origins of this particular review of China's experience in the reform of its science and technology (S&T) system go back to a conversation between the Chair of the State Science and Technology Commission (SSTC), Song Jian, and the President of the International Development Research Centre (1DRC), Keith Bezanson, held in Beijing in 1994. They noted that 1995 would be both the 10th Anniversary of some of the major S&T reforms in China and the 15th Anniversary of cooperation between
SSTC and 1DRC in the financing and management of a program of research and development (R&D) in support of China's development. To mark the dual anniversary, they decided to jointly commission a review of the Chinese experience of S&T reform, particularly in the last decade, and agreed that the methodology best suited to the task would be one developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris for reviewing the S&T policies of industrialized countries
