Due to the complexity of the current global Covid-19 pandemic, along with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Vietnam needs to be more active, innovative, and flexible to better adapt to the swift changes of all fields in the world.

Therefore, the scientific-technological human resources must be well-prepared with sufficient professional knowledge in order to satisfy any possible demand of the society and tackle any problem arisen. This will help them fulfilling the dual target set by the Government to both safeguard the nation from the pandemic and develop the economy simultaneously.

Obviously, there is a need of close collaboration between scientists and the community, under the proper guidance of MoST, which facilitates scientific research, technological development, and innovation.

The Minister hoped that the Vietnam Science-Technology Day becomes a meaningful annual event to attract the participation of educational institutes, businesses, the young science lovers.

“Scientific knowledge will forever stay lonely in its ivory tower if not being widely spread and effectively implemented in life. The media must become a better tool to introduce this valuable knowledge and advanced technologies to the public, inspire their passion towards science, and help form an innovative culture among the community, especially the young. Vietnam must become a society that respects science and owns innovative thinking for a sustainable development”, insisted Minister Huynh Thanh Dat.
