Outstanding individuals of science and technology associations honoured

Fifty-one outstanding individuals, who are members of science and technology associations across the country, were honoured at a ceremony held in Hanoi on October 8.

 

Addressing the event, VUSTA President Dang Vu Minh praised the high sense of responsibility, passion and enthusiasm of collectives and individuals, including the awardees, who have made effective contributions to the development of the country’s science and technology fields, as well as to the union’s operation.

 

Each honouree is an example for other members of the union to acknowledge and follow, he stressed.

 

During the 2010-2015 period, VUSTA-hosted emulation and rewards movements have contributed to uniting those working in the fields of science and technology, and creating motivating for the sustainable development of the union.

 

Over the past five years, the union’s associations have worked out 12 State projects and over 300 scientific and technological projects, which have been applied to production or provided a scientific foundation for the making of socio-economic development plans.

 

The union has also effectively worked as an important and trustworthy information channel for the Party and State in making decisions regarding scientific and technological issues.

 

In the next five years, the union plans to foster the application of scientific and technological advances in manufacturing, particularly among farmers in the fields of agriculture and rural development.

 

It will also map out regulations on commending intellectuals who have participated in outstanding scientific research and initiatives.
