VIETNAM ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES GRADUATE ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES BUI TRONG TAI IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY FROM THE PRACTICE OF THAI NGUYEN UNIVERSITY NOWADAY SUMMARY OF DOCTORAL THESIS PUBLIC POLICY HA NOI – 2022 The work is completed at: The academy of social sciences - the Vietnam Academy of social sciences Scientific instructor: Dr Dang Duy Thinh Dr Hoang Xuan Long Review 1: Assoc Prof Dr Hoang Mai Review 2: Assoc Prof Dr Ngo Phuc Hanh Review 3: Dr Ta Doan Trinh The thesis will be defended before the Thesis Judging Committee The Academy meets at at ……hours……minute, day……month……year The thesis can be found at the library: PREAMBLE The urgency of the thesis Science, technology and innovation play a key role in the socio-economic development in each country, an important key to transform the economic growth model from broad to large depth Successful lessons from a number of developed countries in Asia recently such as Japan , Korea, Singapore, China show that development based on science, technology and innovation is the right direction In that context, the Party and State have placed science and technology as the top national policy, the driving force for socio-economic development, the foundation and decisive factor for the success of the country's construction and development eh However, Vietnam is standing at an important turning point The GDP growth rate has decreased in the context of the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, potential risks of conflicts and wars (such as Russia - Ukraine) which have a great impact on the recovery of the economy world economy The previous source of growth is dwindling , increasing the risk of falling into the “middle income trap” Vietnam needs to rely more on increasing labor productivity through innovation To so, Vietnam needs to significantly improve its S&T and innovation capacity in the country One of the measures is to improve the contribution of higher education institutions and state research institutions , and to increase the socialization of investment in science, technology and innovation Therefore, the completion and well-organized implementation of the S&T policy for higher education institutions is an urgent requirement Thai Nguyen University (TNU) is a regional university, established under Decree No 31 CP dated 4/4/1994 of the Government on the basis of rearrangement and reorganization of universities and vocational training under the Ministry of Education and Training in Thai Nguyen city Over the past 25 years of construction and development, the organizational structure and training scale of TNU has been constantly improving Along with training, the S&T activities of TNU has made positive changes: S&T activities have continued to be renewed in the direction of improving efficiency, serving training, associated with production and life The S&T management model has transformed from a non- business unit to a S&T enterprise model The management of S&T activities has been done well through the development, amendment and supplementation of regulatory documents in accor with the law and the actual situation In addition, the implementation of policies for science and technology at TNU also revealed a number of shortcomings such as : Firstly, the subject implementing the S&T policy still has an overlap that has not clearly defined the role of the Party Committee, University Council, Board of Directors; Factors affecting policy implementation such as investment resources for S&T (human and organizational, financial, facilities , information) have not been given due attention The content of policies on development and implementation of S&T tasks, cooperation on S&T, technology transfer and IP still reveals shortcomings and limitations that need to be overcome In order for the University to be able to well implement the S&T policies that bring positive changes to the unit's S&T activities and contribute to the overall development of the country , it is necessary to promote the role of the university the role of implementers and measures to implement S&T policies at TNU; Focus on exploiting the strengths of factors affecting policy implementation, such as external factors, including: Specific factors of regional universities compared to current Vietnamese higher education institutions ; Institutional factors affecting the implementation of S&T policies in higher education institutions; Socio- economic environmental factors of the Northern Midlands and Mountains and Thai Nguyen province; Internal factors include resources: S&T organization and human resources; finance, facilities , information for science and technology activities of TNU; Besides, focusing on the process associated with the content of implementing S&T policies: implementing policies on formulating and implementing S&T tasks; implementing the policy of cooperation on science and technology, implementing the policy of technology transfer and intellectual property at TNU At the same time, it is also necessary to point out the inadequacies, limitations, causes and solutions to improve the implementation of the S&T policy at TNU and its implications for regional universities throughout the country Therefore, within the framework of the doctoral thesis majoring in Public Policy at the Academy of Social Sciences, the author decided to choose to research the topic: "Implementation science and technology policy from the practice of Thai Nguyen University nowaday" as the content research Research purpose and tasks 2.1 Research purpose: The topic aims to complete the implementation of S&T policy at Thai Nguyen University and has policy implications for regional universities in Vietnam today 2.2 Research tasks: - Overview and evaluation of research works on: public policy, science and technology policy for higher education institutions at home and abroad ;

point out the role of the subject and measures to implement the S&T policy at regional higher education institutions ; Factors affecting the implementation of S&T policies at regional higher education institutions ; The process is associated with the content of implementing policies on formulating and implementing S&T tasks, cooperation in science and technology, technology transfer and IP at regional higher education institutions - Survey, investigate and analyze the actual situation of implementing S&T policy at TNU including Subjects and Measures of policy implementation; Factors affecting policy implementation; The process is associated with the content of implementing policies to develop and carry out S&T tasks, cooperation on S&T, technology transfer and IP at TNU - Point out inadequacies, limitations, propose some orientations and solutions to improve the implementation of S&T policy at TNU and policy implications for regional universities in Vietnam today Object and scope of research 3.1 Research object: The situation of implementing S&T policy at TNU, towards completing the implementation of S&T policy at TNU and policy implications for regional universities in Vietnam today 3.2 Research scope The thesis is limited to implementation within the scope of completing the implementation of S&T policy at Thai Nguyen University and policy implications for regional universities in Vietnam today Regarding the content of implementing S&T policy, the thesis has classified human, financial, facilities and information factors as resource factors affecting policy implementation The thesis is only limited to consider contents of implementing policy on S&T activities, including: 1- Implement policy implementation and implement science and technology tasks, 2- Implement science and technology cooperation policy and, 3Implement policies on technology transfer and IP; About the scope of the research object: The topic only focuses on looking at regional higher education institutions according to the model of the National University, but does not consider all higher education institutions In which, the thesis considers: 1- Subject and measures to implement the policy of science and technology at TNU; 2- Factors affecting the implementation of S&T policy at TNU; 3- The process associated with the implementation of policies on formulating and implementing science and technology tasks, cooperation on science and technology, technology transfer and intellectual property at the university Regarding the scope of the subject implementing the policy: In the thesis, the thesis only limits the consideration of the subject implementing the S&T policy for the regional universities, which is the agencies themselves, the leadership and management apparatus of the regional universities that does not consider actors at a higher level ( superior) and also does not consider actors at a lower level ( subordinate ) - Scope of time: Time to study subjects : Since 1994 is the time when the Government issued Decree No 31-CP dated 4/4/1994 on the establishment of TNU - Spatial scope: Researching and implementing S&T policy within the scope of the National University and comparing it with other national and regional universities Methodology and research methods 4.1 Theoretical basis The thesis uses basic theories : Firstly, the theory of the role of science and technology for higher education institutions to clarify the concepts: science and technology, science and technology activities, higher education institutions ; Next, the author points out the role of science and technology as one of the basic functions of higher education institutions Researchers agree that every higher education institution in the world has three missions: training, research and serving the socio-economic development of the local and national The theory also points to the role of the Bayh-Dole Law of 1980 on the commercialization of American research results; Second, the theory of the national innovation system (NIS), which explores aspects of the role of S&T activities of higher education institutions in the National Innovation System (NIS From studies research by leading scholars on NIS such as C.Freeman , BA, Lundvall, R.Nelson and the concept of the OECD, this theory has highlighted the importance of science and technology in universities for innovation activities (Inovation) of a country, thereby highlighting the role of S&T policy implementation at TNU for local, regional and national socio-economic development Third, the theory of public policy implementation : Accordingly, based on the theory of public policy, implementation of public policy, the content of science and technology policy, the thesis shows: 1- Subjects and practical measures implement science and technology policies at higher education institutions; 2- Factors affecting the implementation of S&T policy at higher education institutions ; 3- The process associated with the content of implementing S&T policies at higher education institutions The author has inherited the research views of the authors: Vo Khanh Vinh, Ho Viet Hanh, Duong Xuan Ngoc and co-authors, Pham Quy Tho, Nguyen Xuan Nhat, Nguyen Huu Hai, Van Tat Thu, Dang Duy Thinh, Hoang Xuan Long These are the basic concepts that help build the theoretical framework for the implementation of the science and technology policy of the thesis 4.2 Research Methods 4.2.1 Document analysis method: The author collects and analyzes the following groups of documents: The first group is the research works of domestic and foreign authors on public policy, science and technology policy, and implementation of science and technology policy in higher education institutions and at TNU The results of the first group document study serve as a research overview in chapter ; The second group studies the scientific works of domestic and foreign authors as a theoretical basis for the research in Chapter ; The third group is the documents, documents, summary reports, scientific works, data sources , actual data on the implementation of science and technology policy at TNU as shown in the Political Report of the Party Committee of TNU The final report on the annual S&T activities of TNU, the documents on implementation, and regulations on S&T policy of TNU are reflected in chapter The fourth group is the reports and articles Science published on websites, online journals to serve as a basis for comparison and to provide a basis for perfecting solutions to implement S&T policy at TNU and its implications for regional universities are reflected in chapters and 4.2.2 Questionnaire survey method: In order to evaluate the results of implementing the S&T policy at TNU in an objective and scientific manner , the author has designed a data survey table (Appendix 2) With 500 votes distributed (out of a total of nearly 4,000 employees of UD, the sample accounted for one-eighth of the total) About sampling method: For S&T managers, take according to leadership and management positions related to S&T activities of the unit ; for officials and lecturers, randomly selected from the member units of TNU, each unit 50/7 units is 350 votes The survey period was from August 2017 to August 2019 Which focuses on subjects including : managers of units such as the Board of Directors of TNU, the Board of Directors of member units , lecturers, researchers, and officials S&T management department/department, staff of other departments/departments, leaders of specialized faculties, staff of centers for practice, experiments, information, libraries , other S&T services The research objective when distributing questionnaires is to clarify information on the level of understanding and satisfaction of the research subjects in the following issues: 1- Invest resources for the implementation of science and technology policy at the TNU, such as : human resources, organization, finance, facilities , investment information for S&T (questions 5-10 in the Questionnaire); 2- The results of implementation of S&T policy of TNU focused on implementing policies on S&T activities, including: Implementation of policies on formulation and implementation of S&T tasks; Implement the policy of cooperation on science and technology; Implement the policy of technology transfer and intellectual property at the current university As a result, 420 staff and lecturers of VNU participated in answering the question, the research results of this thesis are from the results of that data survey (Please see the survey results in Appendix of this thesis) judgment) 4.2.3 Comparative method: The comparative method is used in chapters and to compare the correlation of data, the current status of human resources, facilities , results in the main implementation Science and Technology books of NU with national and regional universities such as Hanoi National University, Da Nang University , Hue University The comparative results are presented through explanations, tables or charts in the thesis 4.2.4 In- depth interview method: In-depth interviews were applied to a number of S&T managers of TNU such as the interview with the Director of TNU about the assessment of facilities for S&T activities at TNU as shown in Chapter interviews with leaders and experts from the Department of Science, Technology and Environment of TNU; In addition, experts, lecturers and researchers were also interviewed at some S&T organizations under VNU, member higher education institutions The results of the interviews are shown in some of the contents of the study Research questions and hypotheses 5.1 Research question: Question 1: What are the current situation, results, limitations and causes in the implementation of the science and technology policy at TNU? Question 2: What orientation and solutions are needed to perfect the science and technology policy at regional universities from the current reality of the university? 5.2 Research hypothesis: Hypothesis : The implementation of science and technology policy at TNU is currently being implemented relatively well, reflected in three aspects: 1- The role of the subject implementing the S&T policy at TNU including the Party Committee of TNU, the Association The university council, the Board of Directors and the functional advisory boards have performed their roles well, flexibly applying implementation measures such as organizational-administrative measures, economic measures, non-governmental measures economy 2- The factors affecting the implementation of S&T policy at TNU focus on internal factors and external factors: External factors include: specific factors of regional universities compared to Vietnamese higher education institutions South present; institutional factors; socio-economic environmental factors of the Northern Midlands and Mountains and Thai Nguyen province; Internal factors include: Elements of organizational and human resources, finance, facilities and information to serve the implementation of science and technology policies of regional universities as well as private universities; 3The process of implementing S&T policy at TNU is standardized, including steps, including: Step Developing a policy implementation plan; Step Dissemination and propaganda of policies; Step Assign and coordinate the implementation of policies; Step Monitor, check and urge the implementation of the policy; Step Evaluate, summarize and draw experience; And this process is associated with the content of implementing policies: i- Developing and implementing S&T tasks; ii- Policy on cooperation in science and technology; iii- Policy on technology transfer and IP; The results of the implementation of the science and technology policy at the university are shown in the aspects of the results of the implementation of the policies on formulating and implementing the science and technology tasks, the cooperation policy on science and technology, the policy on technology transfer and intellectual property, with the most achievements identified as: 1- The policy implementer has well performed its roles, functions and tasks in formulating views, undertakings, strategies and plans to implement the S&T policy in the unit; 2- As for the factors affecting policy implementation, TNU has taken advantage of and exploited the advantages of the region's strengths, the local strengths of Thai Nguyen province, and made good use of preferential policies for with the State Regional University; 3- The policy implementation process associated with the implementation of policy contents has been implemented by the subject in a systematic, smooth and correct manner, ensuring the requirements on the content of policy implementation; 4- From the achievements in the synchronous implementation of the S&T policies, the results in the S&T activities of the University of Natural Sciences have made remarkable changes in both quantity and quality; Limitations in the implementation of S&T policy at TNU such as: 1- The subject of implementing the S&T policy at TNU is still overlapping, inadequate in the implementation role, especially the real power issue in the mechanism of the University Council in the field of science and technology develop strategies for science, technology and innovation in the unit; 2- Measures to implement science and technology policies, especially economic measures, are not really strong, there is no solution to promote activities to support financial resources for science and technology tasks, financial procedures for science and technology are still inadequate access; 3- The process of exploiting the strengths of the region and the locality, the elements of shared resources to implement the S&T policy are not really effective; 4- The process of implementing S&T policy at TNU also revealed some limitations and weaknesses, especially the coordination in implementing the policy was not smooth and synchronous; 5- Some contents of implementing the S&T policy have not yet brought into play the effectiveness, potential and strengths of regional universities, especially the contents of international cooperation, improving the international ranking capacity of TNU is still low; 6- The policy for recognizing the role and importance of IP at the National University of Education still reveals some limitations and weaknesses, there are no industrial property representative organizations to advise on the protection of IP rights for organizations organizations and individuals Causes of limitations in implementing S&T policy at TNU: 1- Due to the fact that the institution's model of the University Council from legalization to practical application is still new, there is still an overlap and no real authority ; 2- There are still some institutional influences on the implementation of S&T policies at the unit; 3- There is not yet a strong enough regulation to promote the shared S&T resources of the National University, the rational thinking, breaking away from the Regional University as a "mother" university still exists in some institutions Member higher education as a "child" university; 4- Awareness of the role and importance of the process and content of implementing a comprehensive S&T policy in all aspects of the National University is still limited, there is no coordination mechanism in the implementation of the S&T policy; 5Policies to encourage S&T activities, especially in international publication, IP are not strong enough, have not fully promoted the role of implementers in the norms of performing S&T tasks, there is still the status of public servants not complete the norm on scientific research in the school year Theory 2: Based on the guidelines of the Party and State on science and technology policy for higher education institutions, including regional universities, to point out the oriented building base and some viewpoints to guide the implementation of S&T policy towards regional universities from the current reality of private universities, and at the same time develop some solutions to improve the implementation of the current S&T policy of regional universities: 1- clearly the role of the Party Committee, University Council, Board of Directors in implementing the policy of science and technology; 2- Enhance the real power of the Regional University Council; 3- To improve the effectiveness of measures to implement S&T policies, especially economic ones, to have solutions to promote activities of supporting financial resources for S&T tasks, to remove difficulties and cumbersome tasks in science and technology financial procedures for S&T; 4Strengthening exploitation of regional and local strengths in service of scientific research and technology transfer, overcoming shortcomings and institutional limitations in order to well implement S&T policies; 5- Having clear mechanisms and regulations, promoting the exploitation of shared resources for the implementation of S&T policies; 6- Completing the process of implementing science and technology policies at regional universities, 7Solutions to perfecting the content of implementing policies on S&T activities at regional universities from the practice of private universities such as perfecting the implementation of policies on formulating and implementation of science and technology tasks, cooperation policy on science and technology, policy on technology transfer and intellectual property New scientific contributions of the thesis

public policy, science and technology policy This group of scientific works has studied very clearly the theoretical issues of public policy, science and technology policy, issues of public policy implementation, and science and technology policy 1.1.2 Group of research works on science and technology policy in higher education institutions This group of scientific works has studied very clearly the theoretical issues of science and technology policy in higher education institutions, in which a) In the world: The works have studied and sketched the situation of S&T policy in higher education institutions in some countries around the world such as: UK, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore; at the same time, highlighting lessons learned and solutions for implementing S&T policies at foreign higher education institutions Group of research projects in the country The works have researched and clarified science and technology policies for domestic higher education institutions; thereby assessing the actual situation of policy implementation, the results achieved and the problems posed, and proposing solutions to improve the effectiveness of policy implementation of the Party and State 1.2 Research and implementation of science and technology policy in higher education institutions and Thai Nguyen University 1.2.1 Group of research works on factors affecting the implementation of science and technology policy in higher education institutions The works have focused on factors affecting the implementation of S&T policy at higher education institutions, especially internal resources such as: S&T organization and human resources, finance for S&T, facilities and S&T information 1.2.2 Group of research works on the content of implementing science and technology policy in higher education institutions Research works on the implementation of S&T policy at higher education institutions, focusing on groups of S&T policy activities, including: policy on building and implementing S&T tasks, policy on cooperation on S&T and policy on technology transfer and IP 1.2.3 Research on Thai Nguyen University and implementation of science and technology policy at Thai Nguyen University Studies have shown the situation of S&T activities at TNU, some results of S&T activities at TNU; some results of implementation of S&T policy at TNU and its member units However, studies on the implementation of S&T policy at TNU are still lacking 1.3 Assess the research situation and issues that need further research 1.3.1 The issues that have been clarified in the thesis can be referenced and inherited First, on the issue of public policy The focus of the thesis is to clarify the works discussing the organization of public policy implementation, focusing on the subjects and measures to implement public policy, the factors affecting the implementation of public policy public policies, processes and contents of public policy implementation Secondly, regarding the issue of science and technology policy and science and technology policy in higher education institutions : the research works have clarified the theoretical and practical basis, lessons learned on the implementation of the science and technology policy in the higher education institutions and abroad Most of the research works have clarified the lines and policies, highlighting the role of science and technology for higher education institutions Thirdly, regarding the implementation of S&T policy at higher education institutions : The studies all mention the influencing factors ; implementation process; achieved results as well as limitations and shortcomings in policy implementation; thereby proposing directions and solutions to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of S&T policies at higher education institutions Fourth , for S&T studies at TNU: These works are mainly interested in studying the role of S&T activities at TNU, the status and results of S&T activities at TNU Except for some studies of the author himself on the implementation of S&T policy at TNU, most of the research works of other authors have not mentioned the S &T policy and the implementation of S&T policy at TNU 1.3.2 Issues that have not been mentioned or mentioned but not clarified in the review works From the research situation at home and abroad , the author finds that the outstanding issues are: Firstly, there have been no in -depth and systematic studies on the implementation of S&T policy in Vietnam, especially approaching the organization and implementation of S&T policy from the perspective of policy theory labour human resources; 2- Financial policy for S&T; 3- Policy on investment, infrastructure development, material and technical facilities and information for S&T; 4- Policy on formulation and implementation of S&T tasks; 5- Policy on cooperation in science and technology; 6- Policy on technology transfer, commercialization of research results and establishment of IP rights for S&T products c) The concept of public policy implementation Public policy implementation is the process by which policy implementers use measures to realize policy content associated with a practical process in order to achieve policy objectives, placed under the influence of public policy environmental factors ” d) Concept of implementing science and technology policy at higher education institutions “ Implementation of S&T policy in Higher education institutions are the process by which policy implementers under higher education institutions use measures to realize policy contents associated with an implementation process suitable to higher education institutions, in order to ensure the implementation of policies The objectives and tasks of the S&T policy in the institution are placed in the influence of environmental factors inside and outside the higher education institution 2.2.2 Content, objectives and role of science and technology policy implementation in higher education institutions a) Contents of science and technology policies at higher education institutions The content of the S&T policy at higher education institutions is shown in contents: Policy on organization and human resource development of science and technology at higher education institutions: Financial policy for science and technology at higher education institutions: Policy on investment, development of infrastructure, technical facilities and information for science and technology at higher education institutions: Policy on building and implementing S&T tasks at higher education institutions: Policy on cooperation on science and technology at higher education institutions: Policy on technology transfer, commercialization of research results and establishment of IP rights for science and technology products at higher education institutions: b) Objectives of science and technology policy in higher education institutions There are many objectives of the S&T policy in higher education institutions, specifically focusing on the following three objectives: Firstly, the S&T policy implemented to improve the quality of S&T activities contributes to improving the quality of university education and training Indeed, only through the way of encouraging scientific research can universities improve the quality of their education and training, associating training with in-depth research, applied research and implementation Second, the S&T policy is implemented to improve the university's scientific research potential and capacity, thereby contributing to improving the institution's S&T capacity, increasing the unit's scientific position in the university rankings Attracting many science and technology topics, projects and programs for the unit and its scientists Helping scientists and units "live" thanks to scientific research Third, the science and technology policy implemented in higher education institutions aims to accelerate the process of technology transfer, which is the result of the university's scientific research into production and life, contributing to technological innovation and improving the competitiveness of the university businesses, and improve national competitiveness 11 The above three objectives are the cross-cutting orientation for all S&T policies implemented in higher education institutions c) The role of implementing science and technology policy at higher education institutions Good implementation of science and technology policy at higher education institutions plays an important role in the development of the university in particular, contributing to the development of the locality, region and the country in general Therefore, the role of S&T policy implementation in higher education institutions focuses on the following issues Firstly, the well-implementation of S&T policies helps to improve the potential of organization and human resources, facilities, information and finance of science and technology, contributing to creating favorable conditions for the good implementation of policies on responsibility S&T service; Second, the well-implemented S&T policy helps create a network of links between higher education institutions and domestic and foreign organizations, promotes cooperation, technology transfer, commercialization of research results, and increases resources non-budget financial income for higher education institutions, accelerating the process of autonomy of units Third, implementing well the policy of science and technology helps higher education institutions to have a standing position in the locality and area of the university, and at the same time also forms a link between the State - School - Entrepreneurs, interacting and supporting each other in the goal of building an innovation ecosystem, improving national competitiveness; Fourth, well-implementing the S&T policy helps universities to have "capital" in terms of reputation and prestige to advance to participate in university rankings, attract learners and interest in academics in the field of science and technology national and international 2.2.3 Subjects and measures to implement science and technology policies at regional higher education institutions a) Subjects implementing science and technology policies at higher education institutions Subjects to implement the S&T policy in regional universities were identified as: Party Committee of regional universities; Regional University Council, Regional University Board of Directors: b) Measures to implement science and technology policy at regional universities There are measures to implement S&T policy in higher education institutions, including regional universities as follows: Organizational-administrative measures : Understood as the subject promulgating documents guiding the implementation of policies, promulgating regulations and applying regulatory measures, assigning tasks to policy subjects to perform Economic measures : Understood as the subject making an impact on the object on the basis of using material resources and economic benefits to create motivation, promote their potential and capacity to achieve policy goals Non-economic measures: Are policy measures that not use financial leverage, material benefits, are psychological measures, have spiritual impact but create motivation for policy beneficiaries to implement activities to achieve policy goals 12 2.3 Factors affecting the implementation of science and technology policy at higher education institutions, including regional universities 2.3.1 Specific elements of science and technology policy at higher education institutions fundamentally different from economic activities in that they are not-for-profit, or bring indirect benefits, requiring long-term investments Therefore, the nature of S&T policy is different from economic policy Some features of S&T policy in higher education institutions need to be paid attention to a) Calculating risk in research : If economic policy requires calculation and specific steps to create immediate and specific benefits, then S &T policy is an investment longterm, even "risky" investment because there may not be any economic benefit from the invested scientific activity ( research failed) and even loss of investment resources t _ It comes from the risk nature of the scientific research process b) Uneconomical nature of scientific research : Firstly, scientific research labor is difficult to measure precisely as in the field of material production, it can even be said that scientific labor is almost impossible to measure Second, specialized equipment for scientific research is almost impossible to depreciate, if it is placed in the university 's laboratory , there are three reasons: first, the frequency of use is unstable and almost very low c) Scientific work is independent and flexible: Researchers cannot sit in offices , schools or laboratories in the "8-hour day" style to conduct scientific research, but sometimes when scientific ideas are generated at home or elsewhere Because it is creative labor, it can be done in different places and at different times, so it is not possible to use administrative thinking to manage S&T human resources d) Coherence between training and science and technology of higher education institutions : in countries with developed science, science and technology activities are an important part of universities In the last few decades, there has been a tendency to emphasize the importance of "Research Universities" and "Universities of Applications", however, being a university requires research and application to be successful there must also be a research process, so this trend is the emphasis of scientific research in universities dd) Community service of the S&T activities of the higher education institution : This is the basic function of a higher education institution , which besides serving training, research, technology development, and transfer Technology for production and community life is a prerequisite e) Autonomy in S&T activities of higher education institutions : Universities in the market economy have the important feature of autonomy, which in essence, Higher education institutions can form research directions 2.3.2 Specific factors of regional universities compared with higher education institutions in Vietnam today a) Distinctive features of regional universities compared to higher education institutions In terms of training scope, universities (national and regional) provide training by field : A university is a training institution in many fields , in each field can have many branches In terms of organizational structure : Like the National University, regional universities are organized according to the model of two-level universities, in order to build multi-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary universities 13 b) Situation of regional universities in the context of current Vietnamese higher education institutions In fact, Vietnam currently has two national universities, namely Vietnam National University, Hanoi and Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, and three regional universities, namely VNU, Hue University and the University of Danang 2.3.3 Institutional factors affecting the implementation of science and technology policies at regional higher education institutions From institutional studies, it can be seen that the S&T policy for higher education institutions is part of the S&T policy in general , and is also governed by policies for higher education Therefore, when considering the policy of science and technology for higher education institutions, we must simultaneously consider the policies placed in the overall science and technology policy in general and in the overall policy for higher education 2.3.4 Elements of resources for implementing science and technology policies of higher education institutions a) The role of scientific and technological human and organizational resources in higher education institutions Role of S&T organization: Higher education institutions are allowed to establish, reorganize and dissolve their affiliated S&T organizations In addition, the university established a department (department) of science and technology to perform the task of managing science and technology activities Units and organizations directly carrying out S&T activities in universities include faculties , departments, institutes, research centers, enterprises, S&T service organizations and organizations serving S&T activities Along with that, higher education institutions also have : Science and training council; the school's advisory council; Faculty Council of the Faculty; industry advisory council; specialized advisory council Regarding the role of Science and Technology Human Resources in implementing S&T policies in higher education institution : S&T human resources in higher education institutions are diverse and abundant, including: Lecturers, researchers, S&T managers; strong research groups , leading scientists, talented young scientists , lecturers, students, graduate students, PhD students b) The role of physical resources, infrastructure, scientific and technological information in higher education institutions Facilities , infrastructure , and information for S&T are important resources required of each higher education institution to obtain S&T achievements Scientists who want to have research achievements must be provided with adequate facilities and infrastructure to conduct research activities c) The role of financial resources for science and technology in higher education institutions Financing for S&T at universities is a complex issue with many regulations and policies Not only are the policies under the competence of the National Assembly and the Government promulgated, but also related to the management by many ministries, especially the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Education and Training Therefore, there are many policies regarding financial investment in higher education institutions 2.4 The process associated with the content of implementing science and technology policies at higher education institutions 2.4.1 The process of implementing science and technology policy in higher education institutions a) Overview of the public policy implementation process 14 There are many leading authors in Vietnam who have studied the theory of public policy processes and public policy implementation processes such as: Duong Xuan Ngoc, Vo Khanh Vinh, Ho Viet Hanh , Pham Quy Ngo, Nguyen Xuan Nhat, Nguyen Huu Hai Accordingly, the process of implementing public policy is a step in the process of public policy b) Procedures for implementing science and technology policies at higher education institutions The process of implementing S&T policy at higher education institutions is based on the theory of public policy implementation process Accordingly, this process consists of steps: Step 1: Develop a policy implementation plan Step Dissemination and propaganda of policies Step Assign and coordinate policy implementation Step Monitor, check and urge the implementation of the policy Step Evaluate, summarize, learn from experience 2.4.2 Contents of implementation of science and technology policies in higher education institutions a) Implement policies on formulation and implementation of science and technology tasks at higher education institutions Policies for developing and implementing S&T tasks are essentially policies to support S&T non-business activities Implement the policy of formulating and implementing S&T tasks at higher education institutions, including a lot of related contents from developing strategies and annual plans on S&T activities b) Implement policies on cooperation in science and technology at higher education institutions The policy of cooperation in science and technology is measures to widely connect science and production, connect with the network of science and technology, and integrate internationally Cooperation in science and technology is considered in two aspects: domestic cooperation and international cooperation c) Implement policies on technology transfer and intellectual property in higher education institutions Policies for technology transfer activities at higher education institutions are the orientations and measures of policy implementers to promote the process of technology transfer between schools, enterprises and production areas The essence of the policy is to create conditions to help scientists connect and introduce new and highly competitive technologies for businesses and localities to invest in and produce 2.4.3 Research on processes associated with the implementation of science and technology policies in higher education institutions Researching the process associated with the content of implementing the S&T policy is actually examining the correlation between the policy implementation process and the policy implementation content That is, when considering the subject implementing the policy at the university according to the 5-step process, that subject attaches the implementation of policy implementation contents (1- Implement the policies on formulating and perform S&T tasks in higher education institutions; Implement policies on cooperation on science and technology in higher education institutions ; - Implement policies on technology transfer and intellectual property in higher education institutions ) Chapter 2: Sub-conclusion : Chapter 2, the author

implementing science and technology policy at Thai Nguyen University From the current issues of implementing S&T policy at TNU, it is possible to evaluate the advantages in implementing S&T policy at the unit as follows: Firstly, the subject implementing the science and technology policy at the university has well performed its roles, functions and tasks in formulating viewpoints, undertakings, strategies and plans to implement science and technology policies at the unit Along with that, the subjects have well applied the measures to implement the S&T policy at the unit, including organizational-administrative measures, economic measures, non-economic measures and a combination of these measures Secondly, regarding the factors affecting the implementation of S&T policy at TNU: TN has taken advantage of and exploited the advantages of the region's strengths, the local strengths of Thai Nguyen province, and made good use of the policies preferential policies for regional universities of the State to well implement the policies of science and technology Besides, with the factors With internal resources affecting S&T activities , TN has focused on exploiting the strengths of S&T organization and human resources, physical resources, information infrastructure and financial investment for S&T with investment capital ways are shared resources – a feature that only regional universities have, to promote synergy for the implementation of science and technology policy at TNU Thirdly, the process of implementing science and technology policy at TNU is associated with the implementation of policy contents for developing and performing science and technology tasks, cooperation policy on science and technology, and policy on technology transfer and intellectual property at TNU that has been implemented by the subject implemented in a methodical, smooth, and correct manner, ensuring the requirements for the content of the policy implementation Fourthly, from the achievements in the synchronous implementation of S&T policies, the results in the S&T activities of the National University of Science and Technology have made remarkable changes in both quantity and quality: Policy implementation results the formulation and implementation of S&T tasks are clearly shown in the following aspects: Results of performing S&T tasks at all levels from the State, at the ministerial level, at the university level, at the grassroots level, and in scientific research by learners; Results of activities of conferences, seminars, scientific publications, monographs and reference 19 books of TNU; The results of the implementation of the cooperation policy on science and technology have been shown in the content of the results of domestic cooperation and international cooperation on science and technology; The results of the implementation of the policy on technology transfer and IP have been shown in the aspects of technology transfer results and the results of IP rights protection for properties owned by organizations and individuals of TNU 3.4.2 The shortcomings, limitations and causes in implementing science and technology policy at Thai Nguyen University a) Limited existence Firstly, the subject implementing the S&T policy at TNU is still overlapping and inadequate in the implementation role, especially the real power issue in the mechanism of the University Council in formulating the strategy of science, technology and innovation at the university taste Secondly, the measures to implement S&T policies, especially economic measures, are not really strong, there is no solution to promote financial resources support for S&T tasks, financial procedures for S&T are still lacking disadvantage Thirdly, the process of exploiting the strengths of the region and the locality, the elements of shared resources to implement the S&T policy are not really effective Fourth, the awareness and application of the process of implementing the S&T policy at TNU also revealed some limitations and weaknesses, especially the coordination in policy implementation was not smooth and synchronous Fifth, some contents of implementing the S&T policy have not yet brought into play the effectiveness, potential and strengths of regional universities, especially the contents of international cooperation, improving the international ranking capacity of the National University Sixth, the policy for recognizing the role and importance of IP at the National University of Natural Sciences also revealed some limitations and weaknesses, there is no industrial property representative organization to advise on IP rights protection for organizations organizations and individuals b) Cause Firstly, because the institution of the School Council model from legalization to practical application is still new, there is still overlap, no real authority Second, there are still some institutional influences on the implementation of S&T policy at the unit Third, there is not yet a strong enough regulation to promote the shared S&T resources of the National University, the rational thinking, separation from the Regional University as the "mother" university still exists in some institutions Department of Higher Education is a member as a "child" university Fourth, awareness of the role and importance of the process and content of implementing a comprehensive S&T policy in all aspects of the National University of Natural Sciences is still limited, and there is no coordination mechanism in the implementation of the S&T policy Fifth, policies to encourage S&T activities, especially on the development of research groups, are not strong enough, have not fully promoted the role of implementers in the norm of performing S&T tasks, and still have the status of public servants did not 20 complete the hard norm on scientific research in the academic year, the percentage of students doing scientific research was still low Chapter 3: Sub-conclusion: Chapter has researched and demonstrated the current status of implementation of S&T policy at TNU through studying specific contents such as: Subject and method of implementing S&T policy at TNU; Factors affecting the implementation of S&T policy at TNU; The process associated with the content of implementing S&T policy at TNU, consists
