IT House News on August 9, according to CCTV News, today (August 9), the 2026 International Basic Science Conference opened in Beijing, with the theme of “Focusing on Basic Science, Leading the Future of Humanity”. More than a thousand Chinese and foreign scientists, researchers, and young students attended the conference. During the two-week conference, more than 500 academic conferences will be held, covering various branches and intersections of basic science, and covering cutting-edge hot topics such as generative large model reasoning, computer vision, human-computer interaction, and quantum information. A number of top international scientists will lead the presentation of basic science reports and cutting-edge science award reports, share the latest breakthrough results in various fields, and promote multi-disciplinary collaborative innovation. It is understood that this year is the fourth year that the conference has been held in Beijing. It is hosted by the Beijing Municipal Government, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the China Association for Science and Technology and the World Federation of Chinese Mathematicians. At present, my country's support for basic research is unprecedented, with an all-round layout of capital investment, policy guarantees, talent introduction and scientific research platform construction. For example, Beijing has implemented in-depth basic research leading actions, producing a number of major original achievements such as the world's first use of chemical methods to induce human blood cells into pluripotent stem cells; to strengthen basic research reserves, the Beijing Natural Science Foundation was the first in the country to set up an undergraduate "Start Research" program to support 1,612 undergraduates from 14 universities to devote themselves to basic research, cultivate scientific research interests, and improve innovation capabilities. 396 of the 397 people who have graduated People choose to continue their studies; Huairou Science City, as one of the areas with the highest concentration of major scientific and technological infrastructure in the world, has now deployed 37 major scientific and technological infrastructure, scientific and educational facilities and cross-research platforms, of which 29 are in stable operation and 17 are open and shared globally. IT House noticed that from August 10th to 12th, 9 Basic Science Medal winners: Claire Voisin, Horng-Tzer Yau, Shouwu Zhang, Andrea J. Liu, Yifang
