Professor Phan Xuan Dung, President of the Vietnam Union of Associations, delivered the opening remarks at the workshop. |
Dr. Pham Van Tan, former Vice President of the Vietnam Union of Associations, stated that Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on the development of science and technology, innovation, and national digital transformation has been highly appreciated by the scientific and technological intellectual community and public opinion, and there are expectations that its implementation will change the face of the country's socio-economic landscape.
According to Mr. Tan, in the new context of the Vietnam Union of Associations, in addition to fulfilling the tasks assigned by the Party and State related to the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, it is necessary to quickly research and adjust the operating model of the Vietnam Union of Associations to suit the new context, towards expanding the self-governing organizational model and autonomous mechanism with the social market and businesses as partners, in order to maximize the potential and creative strength of the scientific and technological intellectual workforce to serve the requirements of the social market and the business community, and to quickly bring science and technology to serve business development.
Regarding policy directions to promote the role of Vietnamese intellectuals in the digital age and artificial intelligence (AI), Dr. Nghiêm Vũ Khải believes that, in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, Vietnamese intellectuals play a key role in promoting innovation, developing science and technology, and national digital transformation.
To effectively fulfill this role, a comprehensive set of policies is needed, including: investment in education and training; policies to attract and retain talent; and support for research and innovation. In the digital and AI era, intellectuals are the pioneering force in creating new knowledge, shaping policies, and leading social transformation.
Promoting the role of intellectuals requires not only investment in resources but also a profound shift in policy thinking, from support to partnership, from guidance to liberation, and from management to facilitation. The government needs to view intellectuals as strategic partners in sustainable development, innovation, and building the nation's future.
According to Dr. Pham Ngoc Son, Vice President of the Vietnam Geological Society, based on practical experience in organization and operation, scientists in member associations of the Vietnam Union of Associations are mostly retired officials. While possessing strengths in experience and in-depth knowledge, they also face several challenges when participating in the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW.
These difficulties include the inability to update knowledge, trends, and technologies; a lack of mechanisms for proactive participation in providing feedback, advice, and critical analysis, as well as leading/participating in the implementation of tasks, especially scientific research tasks under Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, which are led by ministries, sectors, localities, and other relevant state agencies; and low remuneration and incentives for consulting, critical analysis, teaching, and disseminating knowledge, which are not commensurate with the capacity and quality of work...
To enable the Vietnam Union of Associations, its member associations, and scientists to actively and effectively participate in the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, Mr. Son suggested that it is necessary to promptly amend and supplement the system of relevant legal documents to fully institutionalize the viewpoints, tasks, and solutions set forth in Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW; and to issue a mechanism to ensure the proactive and effective participation of the Vietnam Union of Associations, its member associations, and scientists in leading and participating in the implementation of projects, topics, and scientific research tasks led by ministries, sectors, localities, and other relevant state agencies.
