顺应大势、勇于担当，共同开辟“一带一路”科普场馆发展的光明前景

自然科学博物馆是进行科学传播和开展科学教育的机构。通过回顾自然科学博物馆的发展历程,分析可持续发展目标、地区发展不均衡、科技与社会交互对自然科学博物馆发展所产生的主要影响,目前国际社会和自然科学博物馆为解决上述问题而采取的行动,以及自然科学博物馆未来发展面临的挑战,本文指出“一带一路”倡议为自然科学博物馆应对上述挑战提供了一揽子解决方案。据此,提出促进“一带一路”沿线国家自然科学博物馆之间互惠共享的多项对策和建议:搭建交流平台,开展合作,建立长效机制,加强能力建设,为“一带一路”沿线各国之间开展更深层次的科技、教育和文化合作交流注入活力,最重要的是为构建“一带一路”沿线国家自然科学博物馆命运共同体而共同协力。

Opening up a Bright Future for the Development of Science-related Museums under the Belt and Road Initiative

Science-related museums are defined as socially-involved institutions dedicated to science communication and education. The paper reviews the history and development of science related museums, analyzes the major impacts exerted on science-related museums by the sustainable development, the uneven regional development, and the interaction between science and technology on the one hand and society on the other hand. It also analyzes the actions taken by the international community and the field of science-related museums in order to solve the above-mentioned issues, as well as the challenges faced by science-related museums in terms of their future development. The proposal of the Belt and Road Initiative has provided science-related museums with a package of solutions to the issues as mentioned. In view of this, the paper puts forward multiple proposals that are aimed at promoting reciprocal and resources-sharing partnerships among science-related museums in countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative:setting up platforms for exchanges, conducting cooperation projects, establishing long-term mechanisms, and strengthening capacity building, so as to inject impetus into deeper-level scientific, educational and cultural exchanges and cooperation; and above all, to work with concerted efforts to build a community of shared future for all science-related museums in countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.
