A website aimed at boosting the 2008 Beijing Olympic Game's high-tech goals
was launched Monday in Beijing.
The website is sponsored by
the Science and Technology Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad and the
Olympic Science and Technology (2008) Action Plan Leading Group.
The website, in both Chinese and English, gives an overall introduction of
one of the three themes of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games -- high-tech Olympics
-- and the action plan to achieve the goal implied in the theme.
The website will also provide timely reports on high-tech Olympic
developments.
"It is a must to establish a platform for the exchange of information for
holding high-tech Olympics in 2008 in Beijing," Lin Wenyi, chairwoman of the
Science and Technology Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, said
yesterday.
Lin is also vice-director of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal
People's Congress.
Established in 2002, the committee has 13 member organs including the
Ministry of Science and Technology, the Beijing municipal government, the
Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad and the Chinese Academy
of Sciences.
Deng Nan, vice-chairwoman of the committee and vice-minister of science and
technology, urged all relevant departments to use the website to put forth
scientific achievements that may help the games.
Technology consultation services are also expected to be provided to the
Olympics to guarantee its smooth operation.
Deng also urged more communication between the committee and the Olympic
organizing committee.
Initiated by Minister of Science and Technology Xu Guanhua and the then
Beijing Mayor Liu Qi, the Olympic Science and Technology (2008) Action Plan was
released in 2001.
The plan involves projects in environment, safety, communications,
information exchange, sports technology and science knowledge popularization.
