目前，中国高等学校科普工作开展不平衡，科普能力水平相对较弱，高校在提高公众科学素养方面的重要作用也没有得到充分发挥。文章从高校科普现状出发，结合传播学理论，提出科普能力建设的“硬能力”和“软能力”观点。根据科学传播过程，结合科普环节中的科普主体、科普内容、科普对象等因素提出相关能力建设观点。

At present, the science popularization work in Chinese universities and colleges is unbalanced and the level of science popularization is weak. The universities have not been played fully their important function in improving the scientific literacy of the public. Starting from the status of science popularization in Chinese universities and colleges, I proposed a theory of “hard-ability” and “soft skills” of capacity building using communication theories and gave some suggestions on subjects, contents and objects of science popularization combining each aspects of science popularization process.
