Pudong will make full use of its rich innovation resources to further popularize science, according to a plan released on Tuesday at the opening ceremony of the 2021 Pudong Science Festival.
It will build a demonstration zone to integrate the development of science innovation and popularization centered around Zhangjiang Science City, an innovation hub with more than 10 major science facilities, 440 high-end research and development institutions and 22,000 science and technology companies.
Under the plan, Pudong will have at least 25 science education venues by 2025, and include at least 500 experts to spread science education.
