The questionnaire consists of two parts. The first part consists of 5 face sheet questions related with research activities. The second part consists of 12 questions on the Science and Technology Policies. We recieved 177 efficient replies, giving 48.5% reply-ratio. We are able to make clear the distribution of research fields, the situations of joint research between the different institutions and the expectations of research fields in the future. Also, we are able to show some interesting distributions about the questions on Science and Technology Policies.
