The "Key" opens the door to future development
Discussing the Draft Law on Science, Technology and Innovation, delegate Nguyen Thi Viet Nga - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Head of the Delegation of the National Assembly Delegation of Hai Duong Province - said: Fast and sustainable association, bringing the country to develop a breakthrough in the new era ”.
Evaluating the draft law, National Assembly Delegate Nguyen Thi Viet Nga said that a notable breakthrough is the regulation on risk acceptance in scientific research.
However, according to the new draft, if scientists have fully implemented the process and made efforts to research but the results do not meet expectations due to objective reasons, they will not be required to compensate for budget or bear civil liability. This is a very open view, true to the nature of scientific research - where there are always potential risk factors - Ms. Nga analyzed.
Another positive point in the draft is the regulations related to attracting and treating talent in the field of science and technology. According to the delegate, when the law is passed, the team of scientists will have more motivation because they will be better protected and supported in the research process.
Removing barriers, scientists are confident in developing projects
Sharing with Lao Dong, Dr. Nguyen Van Diep (General Director of AVAC Vietnam Joint Stock Company) - "father" of the AVAC ASF livelihood vaccine AVAC affirmed that in the past, businesses had considered using the State budget for scientific projects, but this encountered many limitations due to complicated reporting and explanation procedures.
In addition, the use of the State budget can also lose the scientific and technological confidentiality of enterprises. Research products often need to be deployed quickly to keep up with global competition, while keeping technology confidential. However, when receiving money from the budget, businesses must publicize and explain many contents, causing many difficulties.
"Therefore, when the state has policies to encourage businesses to develop science and technology, even creating a mechanism to increase autonomy for businesses, it will promote businesses to develop more strongly and faster" - Mr. Diep emphasized.
