Criteria Expanded for 2026 Golden Globe Awards: 10 New Technology Categories

The Golden Globe Science and Technology Awards, organized to encourage young scientists in Vietnam, has announced that it has increased its selection criteria from 5 to 10 categories as of 2026.

The program, conducted by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union in coordination with the Ministry of Science and Technology, focuses on the country's national strategic technology development goals. With the new regulation, it is aimed to reward young talents conducting research in critical areas such as digital technology, artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, semiconductor chips, and quantum technology.

The award process prioritizes the practical value, innovation, and economic or social contributions of the candidates' research, in addition to their academic achievements. The Tan Hiep Phat Group, which has been a supporter of the program since 2011, has renewed its partnership for the 2026-2030 period. Within the scope of this collaboration, young scientists will continue to be offered opportunities to gain practical experience in production facilities and build professional networks.
