Abstract

Science and technology (S&T) always plays an important role in and is a driving force of socio-economic development of each country or each region, especially in the presently default knowledge economy. By a synthesis approach, this article presented views or management models of S&T which had been drawn from research findings by organizations and experts worldwide. Discussions and proposals in this article relating to S&T research highlighted the role of basic research in promoting the world knowledge economy and expected that it would create a platform to facilitate the determination of direction and identification of issues need to be considered when making reform of S&T policy in Vietnam, which was found still limited in the context of international integration.
