Vietnam's Ministry of Science and Technology moves award processes to a digital platform

The Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam has launched a new database platform, developed by Hi Net Vietnam Joint Stock Company, to digitize award management in the science and technology sector.

Consisting of ten fully functional subsystems, the platform covers the entire process from award decisions to profile management. The system integrates with the Ministry of Home Affairs' National Database on Cadres, Civil Servants, and Public Employees to automate data update cycles. Through this integration, the approval time for personnel records has been reduced from 4-5 days to 1 working day.

Aiming to eliminate data loss and long evaluation times caused by traditional paper-based methods, the platform will be fully operational by 2027. Supported by intelligent prediction algorithms, the infrastructure has begun to be actively used in the nomination processes for the Ho Chi Minh Award and the State Award for Science and Technology.
