At the national convention summarizing 1 yr and 6 months of implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, know-how, innovation and national digital transformation, General Secretary and President To Lam emphasised the requirement to construct high-quality human assets, entice skills and join intellectuals at house and overseas.
According to the General Secretary and President, analysis institutes, universities and the staff of scientists want to proceed to promote their core position in creating new information and new applied sciences; give attention to fixing sensible issues of the nation, localities and companies, and on the similar time take the effectiveness of utility and switch as an vital measure of analysis actions.
Notably, General Secretary and President To Lam requested to take the effectiveness of utility, switch and commercialization of analysis outcomes as one of many vital measures of scientific actions. Along with which can be stronger insurance policies in attracting skills, worldwide consultants, Vietnamese intellectuals overseas, forming robust analysis teams and connecting the global community of Vietnamese intellectuals.
This message exhibits that within the context of more and more fierce know-how competitors, high-quality human assets and a staff of extremely certified consultants are now not supporting elements however have turn into the inspiration that determines the national autonomy and competitiveness.
Universities should turn into core know-how manufacturing facilities
Talking to Lao Dong, in accordance to Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Duc – Vietnam National University, Hanoi, strategic know-how wants to be approached from the key national issues, thereby forming invaluable and aggressive merchandise.
He believes that universities are the place to conduct long-term analysis, develop core know-how and construct robust analysis teams. Fields reminiscent of synthetic intelligence, superior supplies, biotechnology, semiconductors, aerospace all want the widespread participation of universities.
According to Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Duc, larger schooling establishments want to transcend their conventional coaching position to construct a analysis and innovation ecosystem, strengthen know-how switch, accompany companies and take part in fixing the nation’s growth issues.
Universities should not simply locations to grant levels, however should be facilities for coaching high-quality human assets, scientific analysis, innovation, information switch and the event of excessive applied sciences and strategic applied sciences,” he emphasized.
This viewpoint is also consistent with the direction of the General Secretary and President on reviewing training programs right from the new school year, prioritizing strategic technology industries, promoting digital skills training, digital transformation capacity, innovation and especially AI application.
Accordingly, preparing human resources today is preparing national competitiveness in the future.
From attracting talent to creating a development environment
Along with strategic orientations, many new mechanisms for attracting and valuing talents in the field of science and technology have also been promulgated.
According to Ms. Vu Thi La – Deputy Director of the Department of Organization and Personnel (Ministry of Science and Technology), currently talented young scientists and talented young engineers enjoy many specific policies according to government decrees. In which, the salary level is implemented according to the agreement in the labor contract, employees can be rewarded annually based on the results of task performance, initial support to stabilize accommodation and living.
Scientists are also guaranteed research funds, use national key laboratories, hire research assistants and technicians, and participate in scientific exchange programs at home and abroad. For families, the policy also extends to welfare fields such as health care, resort support and creating learning conditions for children.
Notably, gifted younger scientists and gifted younger engineers are entitled to further allowances equal to 150% of their present wage, are prioritized to be assigned jobs appropriate to their experience and are thought of for excellent wage will increase if they’ve significantly excellent achievements.
According to info from the Department of Personnel Organization, on the Dialogue Program of the Youth Union of models below the block of 4 institutes, 1 community (4V1M) held on the finish of May 2026, Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan additionally dedicated to issuing a separate mechanism for younger scientists to develop, creating an unbiased and self-reliant house and granting most energy to affirm their capability proper from the early phases of their careers.
These adjustments present that expertise growth considering is step by step shifting from administrative administration mechanisms to creating an atmosphere for gifted folks to maximize their talents.
Linking analysis with the market and the issue of national growth
Another notable level is the rising demand for applicability and commercialization of analysis outcomes.
According to the evaluation of Minister of Science and Technology Vu Hai Quan, the keenness of the staff of younger scientists is mirrored of their daring participation in main analysis packages with commitments shut to worldwide requirements. Many packages intention for at the very least 60% of analysis outcomes to be revealed in prestigious worldwide journals, 20% to shield mental property rights and 15% to be transferred and commercialized to straight serve manufacturing and enterprise.
This can be the spirit that General Secretary and President To Lam emphasised when requesting to take the effectiveness of utility and switch as an vital measure of scientific actions.
In the context of synthetic intelligence, semiconductor and strategic applied sciences turning into new development drivers of the world, investing in folks, empowering universities and analysis institutes and constructing a good growth atmosphere for expertise will decide Vietnam’s breakthrough potential.
When younger individuals are given situations to analysis, create and contribute, Resolution 57 won’t solely cease at strategic objectives but in addition create a stable basis for technological autonomy and national competitiveness within the coming a long time.
