To all branches, institutional members, and individual members: To thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourses on science popularization, to implement the *Law of the People's Republic of China on Science and Technology Popularization* and the *Outline of the National Action Plan for Scientific Literacy (2021-2035)*, to actively pool high-quality science popularization resources, to widely mobilize social forces to carry out science popularization practices, to focus on resolving the mismatch between the supply of science popularization content and the demands of the times and the public, to foster and develop the science popularization industry, and to promote the high-quality development of science popularization work, in accordance with the "Notice from the Office for the Implementation of the National Plan for Scientific Literacy on Launching the 2026 National Call for High-Quality Science Popularization Works" (Plan Office Document [2026] No. 2), the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence is now organizing the 2026 National Call for High-Quality Science Popularization Works. The relevant details are hereby announced as follows:
We are seeking high-quality popular science works that are scientific, original, and accessible, with innovative content that is not generated by AI: (1) Basic Science Popularization. Focus on the core concepts and fundamental principles of basic disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and geography. We encourage interdisciplinary integration and works that are informative, engaging, and enlightening.
(2) Cutting-edge technology fields. Focusing on cutting-edge technology fields and interdisciplinary frontiers such as artificial intelligence, quantum information, next-generation information technology, biotechnology, new materials, advanced manufacturing and robotics, aerospace technology, deep-sea technology, and new energy, this section interprets the core principles of these technologies, R&D progress, potential applications, and ethical challenges, helping the public understand trends in the technological revolution and industrial transformation.
