Vietnam Calls for Scientific Research to Focus on Practical Applications
The Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has set a new strategy to shift scientific work in the fields of environment and climate change from theoretical frameworks to concrete, interdisciplinary, and applicable products.
At a meeting held on November 9, 2026, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Le Trong Yen instructed that scientific research in the fields of environment, meteorology, and climate change be restructured to provide solutions to the problems faced by citizens and businesses.
Deputy Minister Le Trong Yen emphasized that scientific activities covering the 2026-2030 period must move away from a fragmented structure and transition to a technology and data-driven model compatible with modern state management principles. During the meeting, key bottlenecks such as the scarcity of existing scientific resources and the lack of qualified human resources were discussed.
Units were requested to submit their reports containing the challenges encountered and proposed solutions by November 20. In the coming period, the aim is to take concrete steps in areas such as the modernization of disaster forecasting systems, the integration of artificial intelligence technologies, and the carbon credit market.
