HÀ NỘI — Việt (*50*) has authorised a long-term primary research funding programme to form 50 strong research groups by 2035 to develop core technologies in synthetic intelligence (AI), semiconductors and quantum know-how.
Under Decision No. 2555/QĐ-BKHCN issued this week, the Ministry of Science and Technology authorised the Programme for Excellence in Basic Research (PEBR) for the 2026-2035 interval, with funding specializing in core technologies.
According to the ministry, for the primary time, the nation will implement a primary research funding programme with cycles of 5 to 10 years, changing the short-term funding mannequin. The ministry believes it will lay the scientific basis for the strategic know-how race and strengthen nationwide competitiveness in the long run as world technological competitors intensifies.
According to the programme, wonderful primary research is recognized as the inspiration for creating breakthroughs in data and know-how, contributing to the event of capabilities to grasp core and strategic technologies and improve nationwide competitiveness in the long run.
Notably, the programme aims to shift from funding particular person and short-term research initiatives to medium- and long-term research instructions, prioritising clusters and sequence of initiatives to guarantee continuity, data accumulation and the event of main research capabilities.
This is taken into account a serious shift in pondering on science and know-how growth within the nation. Instead of funding particular person small initiatives, the programme aims to form in-depth research ecosystems by which research groups obtain steady and long-term funding to pursue large-scale issues.
The programme emphasises prioritising funding for primary research linked to strategic technological growth instructions and particular strategic know-how merchandise, whereas encouraging new and groundbreaking scientific concepts and accepting scientific dangers acceptable to the character of primary research.
In observe, that is additionally a pattern many technologically superior international locations are pursuing as world competitors more and more depends upon the flexibility to possess basic data.
Under the programme, Việt (*50*) will concentrate on creating research instructions with the potential to form core and strategic technologies in fields reminiscent of quantum know-how, synthetic intelligence, superior supplies, biotechnology, new power and semiconductor know-how.
The programme targets establishing a minimum of 10 new research instructions by 2030, of which a minimum of three have the potential to develop into core know-how platforms. The figures will improve to 20 and 5 respectively, by 2035.
Beyond tutorial research, the programme aims to convey research outcomes nearer to commercialisation and the event of strategic technologies. Accordingly, by 2030, a minimum of 10 per cent of duties in new research instructions should produce outcomes eligible for worldwide patent registration or able to transitioning into strategic know-how product growth duties. The share will improve to a minimum of 20 per cent by 2035.
In addition, the programme aims to elevate Việt Nam’s scientific standing internationally. It targets establishing roughly 30 strong research groups within the pure sciences by 2030, with a minimum of three groups reaching main regional standing. The figures will improve to roughly 50 and a minimum of 10 groups, respectively, by 2035.
The programme additionally plans to construct an internationally oriented research ecosystem, specializing in creating a extremely certified scientific workforce and increasing worldwide cooperation in depth.
It additionally emphasises implementing a nationwide digital platform for managing science, know-how and innovation to improve transparency, accountability and the effectivity of research information administration.
The National Fund for Science and Technology Development will lead implementation of the programme, together with creating implementation plans, evaluating research groups, allocating funds and monitoring outcomes. — BIZHUB/VNS
