Law revised to encourage scientists for innovation
Adjust font size:

China's top legislature on Saturday adopted an amendment to the Law on Science and Technology Progress, which aims to create a better environment for making innovations.

The law, for the first time, allows scientists to report failures during the process of innovation without harming their records in future funding applications.

The revised law, which is to take effect on July 1, 2008, was approved at the seven-day 31th session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) which ended on Saturday.
