Scientific research institutes are purely academic work, and universities need to give consideration to both academics and research.
Under normal circumstances, when you enter a scientific research institute, you can conduct pure academic research. For example, enter the Academy of Social Sciences, the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, and so on. The above institutions are generally purely academic research institutions. When doctoral students enter such research institutions, they can concentrate on scientific research without taking into account other occupations. However, if doctoral students enter the university after graduation, according to the current system of the university, both academics and research must be taken into account, otherwise it may be difficult to solve the problem of professional titles. For example, according to the latest requirements, professors must give lectures to undergraduates.
In terms of academic research conditions, the conditions of scientific research institutes and universities are different.
If we consider the academic research conditions, some research institutes and universities have different conditions. However, this difference is not an absolute relationship between who is strong and who is weak, and needs specific analysis. For example, the higher the level of universities, the stronger the academic research conditions and software and hardware facilities, especially in 985 universities such as Tsinghua and Peking University, where the scientific research conditions are generally better than those of general scientific research institutions. However, if you only enter some two universities after graduation, you are still inferior to scientific research institutes in some research conditions.
In terms of academic research atmosphere, universities are relatively pure.
The research environment of universities is different from that of scientific research institutes. Under normal circumstances, when a doctor enters a university after graduation, he can maintain his academic ideal to a great extent. However, if you enter the corresponding scientific research institute without teaching tasks, your daily interpersonal relationship will become more complicated. In particular, some scientific research institutes have close ties with government agencies, which leads to higher efficiency in the transformation of research institutes' achievements than universities. But it also makes researchers in many research institutes look utilitarian and impetuous, and it is difficult to produce any profound research results.
From the perspective of holidays, universities will have winter and summer vacations, and research institutes often do not have such benefits.
As we all know, if you take classes in a university, university teachers, like college students, will have winter and summer vacations. But if you work in a research institute, only a few research institutes will have winter and summer vacations, and most research institutes do not have such benefits.
