Abstract:  Shenzhen is in the forefront of China in the development of high and new technology. It has invested tremendously in research development, improving effectively the scientific research ability of enterprises and universities. In 2018, the State Council issued "Some Opinions on Enhancing Basic Research in an all-round way", making an important deployment for strengthening basic scientific research in different ways. Basic research in colleges and universities is the basis and prerequisite for knowledge innovation and technological innovation, and is of great significance for training innovative talents and promoting the construction of an innovative country and a world-wide scientific and technological power. Therefore, the single implementation system of science and technology plan guided by high-tech industry can no longer meet the needs of the state to strengthen the strategic deployment of basic research and the introduction and development of advanced talents in colleges and universities. Therefore, Shenzhen urgently needs to optimize the support system of science and technology plan, scientifically lay out the frontier scientific research fields, further promote the development of scientific research in colleges and universities, and substantially enhance the original innovation ability, provide strong support for promoting the construction of an innovative country and an innovative city in Shenzhen.Southern University of Science and Technology, as a high-starting and high-positioning public innovative university established in Shenzhen, shoulders the mission of playing a leading and exemplary role in China′s higher education reform, and is committed to serving the construction of an innovative country and an innovative city in Shenzhen.In this paper, the author will take it as a sample for the typical analysis of Shenzhen′s colleges and universities. Through studying the application of universities for Shenzhen Science and Technology Plan, this paper analyses the situation of projects approved by universities, and puts forward some suggestions for strengthening basic research and deepening the reform of science and technology system in Shenzhen: 1. Increase investment in basic research and give more preference to basic disciplines; 2.Introducing application and industrialization to Peacock Team classification. 3. Strengthen the regular assessment and adjustment of key laboratories in the city. Continuously enhance the ability of scientific and technological innovation and transformation of innovative achievements in colleges and universities, speed up the construction of more scientific and rational scientific and technological plans, and support the leapfrog development of Shenzhen′s colleges and universities.In the long run, the development of Shenzhen can not be without basic innovation. As the source of scientific and technological innovation, basic research has made great progress, so the road of innovation can go further, it should not be ignored. Colleges and universities have unique advantages in basic research. The development of basic research in Shenzhen can not be separated from the strength of colleges and universities. As a high starting point and high positioning public innovative university established in Shenzhen, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) shoulders the mission of playing a leading and exemplary role in China′s higher education reform, and devotes itself to serving the construction of an innovative country and an innovative city in Shenzhen.
