Criteria for Scientific Awards Revised Based on Practical Value
The conditions for granting the Ho Chi Minh and State Science and Technology Awards have been streamlined based on the practical impact of the research.
The criteria for granting the Ho Chi Minh Prize and the State Prize for Science and Technology have been revised under Decree No. 18/2024/ND-CP, based on the practical value, implementation effectiveness, and type of research, providing convenience for authors.
New Regulations Introduced by the Decree
Decree No. 18/2024/ND-CP sets the conditions and standards for granting the Ho Chi Minh Prize and the State Prize for Science and Technology, establishing a basis for authors to prepare their dossiers and for committees to conduct evaluations.
Implementation Effectiveness and Duration Criteria
While works were previously required to have been published or practically applied at least 3 years prior, this minimum period is reduced to 1 year for projects demonstrating effective and innovative implementation.
Special Standards for Different Types of Research
The decree defines separate standards for three distinct types: scientific research, technological development research, and technological application, encompassing scientific value and social contributions.
