The Ministry of Science and Technology, headed by Minister Huynh Thanh Dat, is working on perfecting legal documents and policy mechanisms to facilitate science and technology development. The ministry has completed the mechanism of decentralization in state management of national science and technology tasks to ensure efficiency, and this approach enhances the involvement of individuals in research activities.
Circulars managing national science and technology tasks have been gradually completed, including instructions for developing estimates for implementing science and technology tasks, regulations on attracting, using, and appreciating individuals engaged in scientific activities, and guidelines on selecting organizations and individuals to perform national science and technology tasks using the budget. Minister Dat urged Program Steering Committee members to focus on urgent and important tasks for socio-economic development, national defense, and security.
