On April 28th, the National College Science Popularization Short Video Competition was officially launched in Beijing.
The competition aims to encourage students to creatively present terms and concepts to the public, making knowledge in science, technology, society, and culture more easily understood by the general population. Focusing on scientific and technological terms, the competition aims to enhance public scientific literacy and promote the development of science popularization in China.
Participants in this competition mainly access standardized scientific and technological terms through the "Terminology Online" platform. Hosted by the National Committee for Terminology in Science and Technology, the platform provides resources including a database of standardized terms published by the committee over the past 40 years, a cross-strait terminology comparison database, and a tool book database.
