There is no common or one-size-fits-all process and method for developing the STI strategy development to apply to all countries, but it depends on the conditions, context, and strategy development tradition of each country.

However, AI is a very complicated field which also poses many worried challenges. A proper understanding of AI to grasp correctly and promptly the opportunities and challenges from AI is essential for every person, every organization, as well as every country. AI plays a significant role and has a significant impact on social science and humanities research. We need to have a more comprehensive view to promote the positive aspects of AI and reduce the limitations that AI can cause.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Code: </em></strong><em>24102802</em></p>2025-01-15T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Journal SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICIES AND MANAGEMENThttps://vietnamstijournal.net/index.php/JSTPM/article/view/558Green technology application policies for sustainable development: International experiences and lessons for Vietnam2025-04-03T11:12:31+07:00Bui Ngoc Thu Habuingocthuha26@gmail.com<p><em>On a global scale, science, technology and innovation (STI) are expected to play an important role in realizing sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, in reality, STI has not been closely linked to the SDGs, as shown by the fact that most research and innovation efforts do not focus on sustainability. This article examines the experiences of three countries: China, India, and Malaysia. Lessons learned from these countries show the need for a comprehensive green technology program, and financial and non-financial support policies from the state to promote research and development (R&D), raise public awareness, and flexibly adapt to the domestic context. They are the key elements for Vietnam to promote green technology application, towards long-term sustainable development.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Code:</em></strong><em> 24121201</em></p>2025-04-03T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Journal SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICIES AND MANAGEMENThttps://vietnamstijournal.net/index.php/JSTPM/article/view/559Open innovation policy for small and medium enterprises in Hanoi city2025-04-03T14:09:53+07:00Nguyen Huy CongHuycongimet@gmail.comLe Hung LanHuycongimet@gmail.comNguyen Hoang HaiHuycongimet@gmail.com<p><em>Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in the economy of every country, not only because they represent a large proportion of the total number of businesses but also due to their flexibility and contribution to economic development. SMEs typically account for a large share of total businesses, generate numerous jobs, and make significant contributions to the local and national GDP. This paper explores and quantifies the factors affecting open innovation in SMEs. The research team adopts an innovation approach from the supply-demand perspective, using a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative and quantitative analysis, based on a survey of 38 businesses operating in Hanoi, Vietnam. The research findings show that all eight initially proposed factors have a positive impact on open innovation in businesses in Hanoi. Among these, the factors of financial resources (FR), competitive market (CM), and research and development (R&D) have the greatest impact on open innovation in SMEs in Hanoi. Based on these findings, the author proposes several breakthrough policy solutions to enhance open innovation in SMEs in Hanoi in the coming period. </em></p> <p><strong><em>Code:</em></strong><em> 24110401</em></p>2025-01-15T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Journal SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICIES AND MANAGEMENThttps://vietnamstijournal.net/index.php/JSTPM/article/view/560Applying blockchain technology in Vietnamese logistics service providers: Current situation and development solutions2025-04-03T14:42:37+07:00Pham Thanh Hahapham@ftu.edu.vnLe Ngoc Hoahapham@ftu.edu.vnHoang Thi Hanhhapham@ftu.edu.vnLe Viet Hoanghapham@ftu.edu.vn<p><em>Blockchain technology has brought transformative changes to a wide range of industries, with the logistics sector being no exception.

However, in scientific research, risks are particularly prominent and intrinsic, because research involves exploration, discovery, and innovation, venturing into the unknown where both success and failure are possible. Risks in scientific research can manifest as failure to achieve the stated objectives, unreliable or contradictory results, a lack of practical impact, or ethical and legal violations. Research on risks in scientific research and proposals for improving mechanisms and policies is not a new issue, but it has recently garnered increasing attention from the research community due to the growing importance of the role and mission of science and technology (S&T) in the development and competitiveness of each nation. This article focuses on analysing the nature and causes of risks in scientific research, experience of some countries on mechanisms and policies for dealing with risks in scientific research, with specific reference to the context of Vietnam, and proposes directions for improving mechanisms and policies to manage risks in scientific research in Vietnam in the upcoming period.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Code: </em></strong><em>24121001</em></p>2025-04-03T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Journal SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICIES AND MANAGEMENThttps://vietnamstijournal.net/index.php/JSTPM/article/view/562Experiences of foreign countries in applying approaches to innovation policy development2025-04-03T15:05:15+07:00Cao Thi Thu Anhcaothuanh@gmail.comNguyen Thi Thuy Linhcaothuanh@gmail.comPham Thuy Hanhcaothuanh@gmail.com<p><em>This study analyzes the experiences of Sweden, Finland, and China in adopting various approaches to innovation policy development, drawing useful lessons for Vietnam.
