Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Bui Hoang Phuong delivered a speech at the ceremony.
Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Bui Hoang Phuong affirmed that science and technology journalism is not only an information channel, but also a pioneering force in spreading knowledge, inspiring creativity and the aspiration for national development through knowledge and technology.
The Deputy Minister emphasized that the 2024 Science and Technology Journalism Award is not only an occasion to honor outstanding journalistic works, but also an opportunity to look back on the past journey, affirming the important role of journalism in the development of the country, especially in the context where science, technology, innovation and digital transformation are becoming strategic pillars of national development.
This year's awards take place against the backdrop of the Politburo 's issuance of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, which identifies science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation as one of the strategic pillars for Vietnam to become a developed nation. To ensure the widespread dissemination of innovative and groundbreaking ideas in the Resolution, the press, especially the press covering science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation, is the pioneering force and a solid bridge between policy and practice.
The Deputy Minister pointed out that, in the coming period, it is necessary to form a stronger, more modern, and more creative community of science and technology journalists. Journalism needs to be at the forefront of embracing new technologies, applying artificial intelligence, big data, data journalism, and multi-platform journalism to reach the public faster, more broadly, and more attractively.
The Ministry of Science and Technology will continue to accompany, support, and create favorable conditions for press agencies, from research and application of technology, digital transformation to providing official scientific data sources and strengthening coordination with the media to help science and technology journalism become a core force in communicating about science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation.

According to the judging panel, this year's entries reflect a rich and profound range of scientific and technological activities, from research and application at the local and enterprise levels to innovative initiatives in people's lives. Many works clearly demonstrate the dedication, responsibility, and passion of journalists for the development of science and technology; some articles are meticulously researched, insightful, and focus on topical issues, accurately reflecting the pulse of life and suggesting many practical solutions for the development of science and technology in the new era.
The honored works are not only outstanding in content and form, but also have a strong impact, contributing to the recognition of science and technology journalism as a forum for creativity, inspiration, and dissemination of knowledge to the community.

On behalf of the authors receiving the 2024 Award, journalist Nguyen Thi Hanh, representing the team of authors of the work "Weapons that Save Lives" from VTC14 channel, Vietnam Digital Television, respectfully thanks the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Award Organizing Committee for creating a meaningful and prestigious platform where journalists can collaborate with the scientific community, spreading knowledge and the spirit of innovation to the community.
According to journalist Nguyen Thi Hanh, for those working in science and technology journalism, transforming a dry scientific paper into a profound and emotionally rich television program is a major challenge. From the initial idea and script to filming and post-production, every detail is carefully considered to ensure both scientific accuracy and evoke humanistic emotions.
"I believe that all the authors present here today are passionate and dedicated to the field of science and technology, a field that is not easy to explore but is extremely meaningful, as it is linked to the future, intellect, and aspirations for development of the nation. The appeal of the Award itself demonstrates the growing interest of the press and the public in science and technology – a key resource for sustainable development."
In her proposal to the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology, journalist Nguyen Thi Hanh expressed her hope that, in the future, the Ministry of Science and Technology will continue to expand the scale and scope of the Award, so that more journalists can be more deeply involved in the development of science and technology, contributing to spreading the spirit of innovation and implementing Resolution 57 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in the development of national science, technology, innovation and digital transformation.
