Abstract: To stimulate the research enthusiasm of young talents and promote the implementation of youth talents support program of Beihang University effectively, this paper will present a method for evaluating young talents based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to make the evaluation process objective, open and transparent. Firstly, we construct an index system for evaluating young talents from the aspects of scientific research output, scientific research participation, talent cultivation and personal growth. Then, based on AHP method, the comprehensive evaluation of young talents is carried out. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
