Science can not absorb?

15 science and technology programs of the city in the period of 2006 - 2010, although some results have been achieved, but not commensurate with the scientific team of Ho Chi Minh City.

Dr. Tran Du Lich, former director of the Institute of Economic Development Ho Chi Minh City Institute of Economic Development said that the city invested financially in Science and Technology no less, but in fact, it did not use all of this funding.'Science is in a state of inability to absorb' - Dr. Lich said.

Although society and economy have changed a lot to suit the current situation, management and scientific research still follow the style of 40 years ago. ' In order to stimulate researchers, it is necessary to build a roadmap to renovate the science and technology management work as once boldly with the way of doing' rock crossing river 'and' breaking the fence 'before.

Thus, it is possible to improve the position and power to attract good scientists to study ' , Prof. Dr. Truong Dinh Kiet, Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City's health and labor protection program proposed.

Scientists at the conference all asked the city to consider applying the contracting mechanism in scientific research according to each topic, not according to the current model of acceptance.

Allow to sign directly with individuals

Dr. Duong Hoa Xo, Director of Ho Chi Minh City Biotechnology Center commented: ' It is necessary to renew the council members, but around and around, there are only many people, easy to get into the path '. On the other hand, from the past to the present time, Vietnam has a notion that it is necessary to make research topics successful. Why not accept the risk of science as many advanced countries in the world.

' A topic of 12 million VND, required to write 35 pages, font size 14. Doing science but according to the type of counting words, counting money pages without taking into account the scientific content ' - Dr. Tran Du Lich annoyed processing and settlement of research funding as currently.

In the legal aspect of the registration of scientific research projects, it is necessary to have a leading agency, Dr. Vo Kim Cuong, PhD, raises the issue: Is there a need for a leading agency in research? According to him, the lead agency took away the research funding. So why not sign a research contract directly with a scientist?

Dr. Nguyen Kim Dung, Institute of Educational Research , University of Education Ho Chi Minh City also said: The lead agency can only remind, but there is no way to sanction scientists of the research unit. Therefore, it is not necessary to take the lead agency.

Meanwhile, Dr. Duong Hoa Xo complained: 'Going to make vouchers is time-consuming and difficult 3 - 5 times more than research. Some people have done the project once, do not dare to work with state agencies anymore, but only work with businesses and organizations '.

According to Mr. Phan Minh Tan, Director of Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology, talk about funding in research, the department is considering. Currently, the department is applying with the Institute of Science and Technology to calculate the research topic model without the approval and acceptance council.

Just give the outline to two scientists in the same field to criticize. After that, carry out research and self-assessment of goals, results set. This refreshing way, initially shows that it is 'compact and very effective'.
