Abstract: State Science and Technology Awards has been one of the important indexes of an institution or individual's academic status and social contribution, with its high visibility, deep impact and extensive modality. A world-class university should not only provide exceptional education, but also achieve top research reputation. Peking University, as the first contributor, has obtained one State Preeminent Science and Technology Award and sixteen State Natural Science Awards, leading the universities of our nation with the unparalleled contribution in fundamental research. On the other hand, the university's achievement in State Technological Innovation Award and State Scientific and Technological Progress Award is much less impressive. It is suggested that long-term, stable supports should go to those achieved and solid research groups to produce more significant fruits.Creating a generous environment for those talented researchers is essential to the construction of a world-class university.
