创新切莫谈“错”色变 ■任鹏寅作者：张学士 “创新从来都是九死一生”。近日，习主席在加强基础研究座谈会上强调，营造开放包容、宽容失败的创新环境。对“探索性失败”的每一次宽容，都可能孕育着下一次创新的成功。从这个意义上说，创新不仅需要勇气和胆识，能容错试错的环境也很重要。创新，亦是闯新。正所谓，“世之奇伟、瑰怪、非常之观，常在于险远”，创新走的是别人没有走过的路，做的是前人没有做过的事，闯新路意味着有风险，有风险就可能有失败。钱学森同志曾说过：“没有大量错误作台阶，也就登不上最后正确结果的高座。”林俊德为摸清核爆炸应力波的传播规律，历经无数次的挫折；诺贝尔奖获得者屠呦呦为提取青蒿素，经历了上百次失败。在科学领域，创新的“常败将军”要远远多于“常胜将军”，而失败之于创新，不是结果而是过程，不是终点而是起点，不是退缩而是超越。当前，新一轮军事科技革命风起云涌，形势逼人、挑战逼人、使命逼人，有些基础研究和关键技术一旦取得突破，其影响将是颠覆性的，甚至可能从根本上改变战争形态和作战方式。军事领域作为对科技前沿感知最敏感的领域，风险系数更大，失败概率更高。然而，现实中，鼓励创新易、容忍失败难的现象并未根除，“创新有风险，上手需谨慎”成为一些军事科研人员头上的“紧箍咒”。试想，如果科研人员谈“错”色变，只能顶着压力前行、背着包袱闯关，哪还有活力动力可言？重视试错的价值，解决“怕错”的问题。各级要坚持严管与厚爱相结合、激励和约束并重，敢于赋予科研人员更大科研选题自主权，更多技术路线决定权和经费使用权，按照相关政策推行岗位绩效考核，建立岗位职责、工作绩效紧密关联的激励制度，充分调动积极性、主动性、创造性，使一切大胆探索、挑战未知的愿望得到鼓励、行动得到支持、成果得到尊重。树立容错的导向，完善“纠错”的机制。各级要探索“为失败埋单”的合理办法，对容错条件认定、免责处理程序等问题作出具体规定，配套完善纠错制度，及时有效纠错，改善创新环境，避免拔高的安全标准、泛化的追责问责、过多的“一票否决”，旗帜鲜明地为那些敢于创新、踏实干事、不谋私利的人才撑腰鼓劲，消除创新者的后顾之忧，助力科技创新的“无人区”变成关键核心技术的“丰产田”。（作者单位：海军工程大学）

Summary

Machine summary

A Naval University of Engineering author, writing in PLA political media, argues that military scientific research personnel are inhibited by institutional risk-aversion and calls on commanders at all levels to establish formal error-tolerance mechanisms—including explicit liability exemptions, post-performance assessments decoupled from single-failure accountability, and expanded researcher autonomy over topics, methods, and funds. The article documents a recognized institutional friction inside PLA defense research: the gap between stated innovation mandates and the career incentives that punish failure, a problem the PLA has named repeatedly but not resolved. It fits a pattern of political-work commentary using Xi's basic-research symposium as a policy hook to push institutional reform downward, and its specific value is as a record of how the Naval University of Engineering frames the problem of risk culture to its own officer-researcher population.
