从实际效果看,日本的基础研究政策具有三个明显的特点,即:(1)量力而行;(2)培育基础,(3)与高等教育相结合。从多年的演变过程来看,无论政府或企业界,对待基础研究的政策都有过较大幅度的调整。60年代中期至70年代中期,日本全国的基础研究在整个科研经费中所占比重呈大幅度下降的趋势。1975年以后大体稳定在14%左右。而开发研究则从1965年的40%上升到70年代中期以后的60%以上(见下表)。 In terms of actual results, Japan’s basic research policies have three distinct characteristics: (1) do what they can; (2) foster the foundation; and (3) integrate with higher education. Judging from the evolution of many years, both the government and the business community have made relatively large adjustments to their policies on basic research. From the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, the proportion of basic research in Japan across the country in research fell sharply. After 1975 generally stable at around 14%. Development and research increased from 40% in 1965 to more than 60% after the mid-1970s (see table below).
