The conference was held in a combination of in-person and online formats to all higher education institutions nationwide. This is an opportunity for higher education institutions to update and fully grasp new policies, thereby improving the efficiency of management and implementation of scientific and technological activities, promoting innovation in the entire industry.

Speaking at the conference, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc said: The conference was organized to promptly disseminate to higher education institutions across the country about new policies, guidelines, and regulations related to the field of science and technology. Recently, the Politburo issued Resolution 57/NQ-TW on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation, and digital transformation. To institutionalize this Resolution, the Law on Science, Technology, and Innovation was issued along with many new regulations and policies. Therefore, higher education institutions need to understand clearly, from there dare to do, create real breakthroughs.

Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc spoke at the conference.

The Deputy Minister said that in the new development period, the requirements for innovation and creativity are increasingly high for higher education institutions. Resolution 71/NQ-TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in education and training development sets the goal that by 2045, Vietnam's education system will reach the world's top 20, and higher education must reach regional and global levels. To achieve that goal, higher education institutions still have a lot of work to do.

Currently, Vietnam’s higher education is mainly training; scientific research has developed strongly in the last 10 years, but the contribution and revenue from this field compared to universities in developed countries is still very modest. This is a limitation that needs to be overcome in the coming years, especially for research-oriented universities. The application of product transfer and commercialization is also very limited.

According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Phuc, Resolution 57/NQ-TW has created many new mechanisms and policies to realize the goal of strongly developing science and technology in higher education institutions and schools need to be pioneers. The Party, State and Government have set out policies to support and invest in development, but the organization and implementation depends on higher education institutions.

The Deputy Minister expressed his hope that after this conference, training institutions will have a clearer grasp of new mechanisms, policies and regulations, thereby effectively implementing Resolution 57 and Resolution 71; boldly innovating and successfully completing the goals of science and technology development in their units.

The conference was deployed in a combined in-person and online format to all higher education institutions nationwide.

At the conference, representatives of the Ministry of Science and Technology presented an overview of new policies and regulations in the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation; Decree No. 267/2025/ND-CP dated October 14, 2025 detailing and guiding a number of articles of the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation on science, technology and innovation programs and tasks; Decree No. 268/2025/ND-CP dated October 14, 2025 detailing and guiding a number of articles of the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation on innovation; encouraging science, technology and innovation activities in enterprises; recognizing innovation centers, supporting creative startups; recognizing creative startups and individuals; infrastructure, networks and creative startup ecosystems; Decree No. 263/2025/ND-CP dated October 14, 2025 detailing and guiding a number of articles of the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation on the mechanism of autonomy and self-responsibility of public science and technology organizations, talented human resources, and awards in the field of science, technology and innovation.
