Budget for science and technology development goes to wrong addresses
While the budget for science and technology development remains modest, it has been divided to too many different units and different sectors. Budget for science and technology development goes to wrong addresses Where the money goes to? Prof Dr Le Du Phong, former President of the Hanoi Economics University, has pointed out that the current mechanism on budget allocation for science and technology development is unreasonable. The budget is compared with a cake which is divided into small pieces, which are then given to research institutes, universities and scientific researchers, following the principle that everyone can obtain a piece of the cake. The Hanoi University of Technology, for example, which is considered a big scientific research center in Vietnam, receives 17.5 billion dong a year for science projects. Meanwhile, the Vietnam Labor Union, which is not a scientific research unit at all, receives VND21 billion a year. The Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry … [Read more...] about Budget for science and technology development goes to wrong addresses
