Officially operating the online management system for science and technology tasks

On November 27, in Hanoi, the Ministry of Science and Technology held a ceremony to announce the launch of an online management system for science and technology (S&T) tasks in real time.

Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung assessed that this is a new technology product, a new platform for innovation in science and technology management models, and an important step for Vietnam to enter the management stage based on data, digital processes and international standards.

“To innovate science and technology, we must innovate science and technology management, shifting from management to motivation, from administrative control to data-driven and transparent operations, from decentralization to integration and standardization. The new software system will help increase the quality of appraisal, shorten the review time, limit errors and risks, accurately assess the contribution of each task and especially create a professional science and technology task market. This is the spirit of less management, more leadership, less control and more creation, shifting from asking for and giving to openness and transparency” – Minister Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized.

The Minister suggested that scientists, councils, and presiding agencies actively use this software system, a product developed by Vietnamese people with features similar to those of Korea... and can connect to co-fund with developed countries. At the same time, feedback is needed to perfect and consider this an indispensable tool in this research activity. The software will be continuously improved, both according to international standards and meeting the reality of Vietnam.

Not only helping the NAFOSTED Foundation, which has a tradition of transparency and standards, to bring those standards to a higher level, the Minister expects that this S&T task management system will become a new standard for research management in Vietnam, an example of real digital transformation, with processes, data, standards and efficiency.

Also at the announcement ceremony, 309 science and technology topics were signed by NAFOSTED. These are the first topics in the spirit of the new Science and Technology Law, shifting from input management to output management, from invoice and document management to research results management, shifting from budget spending to contract spending, from research results returned to the state to research results belonging to research organizations for commercialization. The direct research group will receive at least 30% of the commercialization results. A notable new point is that there will be a shift from evaluating the completion of topics to evaluating research results that must be brought to businesses, creating commercial products, generating revenue, contributing to GDP growth and this revenue must be equal to 5 to 10 times the research cost after 3-5 years.
