According to Mr. Tran Vinh Dieu, Head of the Jury of the Materials Technology field, the projects that win high awards often have the following factors: The project manager is also the head of the unit that registered for the award, so they can mobilize finance, human resources and equipment to serve the implementation of the project to achieve the four criteria of the award (novelty, creativity, economic-social-technical efficiency, wide applicability); have a technical department or research and development center (R&D) participating; the content of the project originates from the core research and production tasks of the unit (company, factory, institute, school); have a long-term development strategy, so new products are successively born based on the principles of inheritance and innovation.
Scientists speaking at the workshop said that in order for award-winning projects to be widely applied in life, the State needs to have policies to encourage the use of domestic products, which are cheaper, faster and have quality equivalent to imported products; at the same time, provide loans to expand production and consumption of products of award-winning projects.
In addition, the State needs to have a policy of deducting rewards from the profits generated by projects and solutions to reward authors who have created and organized the application of scientific and technological products.
On this occasion, the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations awarded 6 Emulation Flags to units and individuals with outstanding achievements in the work of propagating Awards and Competitions; 6 Emulation Flags to units with outstanding achievements in applying Award-winning works and Competitions into production and life and 13 Commemorative Medals for the cause of Propaganda; 9 Commemorative Medals for the cause of Vietnamese science and technology innovation.
