Speaking at the announcement ceremony, 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. And the direct research group will enjoy 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.
In the spirit of the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation 2025, instead of evaluating each topic of a research organization as before, we will move to evaluating the organization's research topics as a whole, accepting risks and being tolerant of failure. Moving from small topics to large tasks when the average value of a task has doubled in this period. Moving from scattered research to strategic research with over 50% of the signed topics belonging to the group of strategic technologies.
The list of science and technology tasks is divided into three layers. In which, basic research will mainly focus on institutes and schools. Applied research will be 50-50 for both institutes, schools and businesses, and technology development will be 30-70. "Currently, technology development tasks assigned to businesses are only 30%. It needs to be increased because assigning them to businesses will have more counterparties and research businesses will reach the market faster" - Minister Nguyen Manh Hung directed.
Receiving the Minister's instructions, Director of NAFOSTED Dao Ngoc Chien said that he will focus on immediately completing the system in the direction of openness - standardization - national connection, ready to integrate programs and tasks of ministries, branches and localities in accordance with the spirit of Article 20 of the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation 2025.
Along with that, it is necessary to ensure the system operates safely, stably, transparently, taking real-time data as the center for management, monitoring, and evaluation of the mission life cycle.
Will continue to accompany and support scientists, management agencies, and scientific councils to use the most convenient system - considering the digital platform not only as a tool, but as a new, more efficient, and more modern way of working.
Accompanying ministries, branches and localities to share experiences, support implementation, and move towards forming a national digital map of science and technology tasks, contributing to improving management capacity at the national scale.
