Many models of applying science and technology at the district level are replicated.
(Baonghean.vn) - According to the report, up to now, the whole province has had 19/27 models deployed, reaching 66.7% of the plan. Initial results show that the deployed models with investment support have all shown clear economic and scientific effectiveness.
On September 15, in Cua Lo town, the Department of Science and Technology held a conference on science and technology activities at the district and city levels in 2023. Attending the conference were representatives of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, research institutes and scientists; a number of provincial departments, branches and sectors, leaders of the Department of Science and Technology and representatives of the People's Committees of districts, cities and towns.businesses and scientific organizations and universities and colleges in the province.
According to the report at the conference, by July 2023, the districts had organized 16 meetings of the Science and Technology Council and district-level scientific seminars. The quality of scientific seminars and consultations of the District Science and Technology Council had clear changes, with practical content, close to the actual situation of each locality, promptly advising the District People's Committee to issue policies to develop the socio-economy and honor scientists.
State management activities on science and technology have been promoted by districts through various forms. Notably, in 2023, the Provincial People's Committee approved districts to build 27 models applying scientific and technological advances with a science budget of 60 to 130 million VND/model. To date, 19/27 models have been implemented, reaching 66.7% of the plan. Initial results show that the implemented models with investment support have clearly promoted both economic and scientific effectiveness.
Typical examples include: Eel seed production model in Do Luong district; Building a model of linking planting and extracting essential oils from lemongrass and basil in Quy Hop district; Experimental model of breeding and commercial farming of native bamboo rats in Tuong Duong district; Model of growing Solanum procumbens in Thai Hoa town; Model of applying some technical measures in cultivation and pest control of orange trees during the business period in Tan Ky and Yen Thanh districts; Model of level 3 sugarcane breeding (LK9211 variety) to serve seed supply in Anh Son district.
Many initial small-scale experimental models of new production objects (mainly native plants and animals) have been well implemented by districts, cities and towns, bringing high efficiency, creating valuable products.
In addition to implementing scientific and technological tasks from the science and technology career support fund, districts, cities and towns have built over 143 models from many different funding sources.
Through district-level science and technology activities, up to now, out of a total of 402 OCOP products of the whole province, there are 159 traditional products and local specialties that have been impacted and supported by the science and technology sector; Gene sources of many rare crops and livestock have been preserved, exploited and developed; Many products meet Vietnamese and international standards, protect trademarks and industrial designs, and are competitive in the market.
However, compared to practical requirements, science and technology activities at the district level still reveal some limitations such as: Activities are still being implemented slowly compared to the signed plan; There are still few projects and projects that create commodity products, and after they are completed (the State's support funding runs out), they are rarely maintained and replicated; Applications of scientific and technological advances in the district are still scattered, not following the product chain, so they have not created decisive breakthroughs...
At the conference, delegates also had many discussions, comments and shared experiences in implementing scientific and technological tasks in their localities. For example, the issue of digital transformation in Nam Dan; Solutions for applying scientific advances in developing medicinal plants in Ky Son district; Applying scientific advances in developing specific plants, animals and products to become commodities in Que Phong district.
Application of scientific and technological advances in developing the value chain of products in Thanh Chuong district; Inspection and examination of standards for measuring product quality and food safety in Vinh city; mobilization of resources to support the application of scientific and technological advances in Do Luong district...
The conference also focused on discussing, discussing, and giving directions for science and technology activities in the area in the coming time. Accordingly, it is highly focused on implementing Resolution 39, including the content of building Nghe An into a regional science and technology center with the direction of a Center for application of science and technology transfer and innovation; Building a Resolution on science and technology development to 2030, with a vision to 2045; Discussing solutions to improve the quality of consulting on district-level science and technology councils; discussing mechanisms to integrate resources from different programs in the area to support science and technology development; focusing on improving the quality of grassroots staff advising on science and technology management in the area...
