Vietnamese Science Day: Celebrations Planned for May 18th!

The Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism has issued a comprehensive plan to celebrate Vietnam Science and Technology Day on May 18. This initiative aims to emphasize the importance of scientific and technological advances in Vietnam and honor those working in these fields. The Ministry of Science, Technology, Education and Environment is responsible for managing and coordinating the celebrations vietnam.vn reported.

Activities planned include hanging banners and slogans at the ministry headquarters, sending a congratulatory letter from the minister to experts and teams in the field of science and technology, and handing over books to representatives of various departments, offices, institutes and educational institutions. The book presentation will include the book “Generative AI: Over 100 Transformative Applications for Society and Business,” written by Bernard Marr and translated by Bui Xuan Chung and Quach Dai An.

Focus on Generative AI

The book consists of 338 pages and provides an overview of the impact of generative AI on various areas such as content creation, customer support and business automation. It is aimed at technology experts, managers and those interested in the interface between high technology and society. Generative AI enables computers to automatically generate new data, which has significant potential in various industries.

The present activities are part of a broader strategy that highlights the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) as a key player in Vietnam's research and innovation system. How kooperation-international.de analysed, various research academies and universities report directly to the Prime Minister, ensuring comprehensive coordination.

Structure of the research and innovation system

Vietnam has a well-structured research landscape, including the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences (VASS) and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST). The VASS, founded in 1953, is responsible for social science research and policy advice and includes numerous institutes and postgraduate training institutions. VAST, on the other hand, has focused on basic and applied research and technology development since 1975, with a wide range of research areas.

In addition, other research institutions are subordinate to the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Vietnam's provinces also have their own research departments that are responsible for carrying out local research projects.

These extensive research activities are partially financed by the MOST's R&D budget, which is mainly used for ongoing costs. Funding for research and innovation programs is provided annually, with the National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (NAFOSTED) making an important contribution to supporting basic and applied research.

Overall, Vietnam Science and Technology Day is seen as an opportunity not only to emphasize the importance of research and technology in today's Vietnam, but also to reflect on the numerous achievements and challenges in this dynamic field.
