At the conference, delegates assessed that the draft documents of the Congress were carefully and seriously compiled. Thereby, they fully and comprehensively reflected the development work of the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations and its member associations in localities. The draft political report also pointed out shortcomings and problems, especially in the period of national integration and innovation to implement the 4.0 scientific and technological revolution.

To complete the draft document, delegates contributed many profound opinions related to the role, tasks, supervision and social criticism of the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations. At the same time, they proposed specific policies to attract intellectuals working inside and outside the organization to actively participate in the activities of the Union, contributing to enhancing the role of gathering intellectuals and the prestige of the Union in the coming time; proposed to promulgate mechanisms and policies for the operation of the Union and the obligations and benefits for officials and civil servants working at the Union of Associations in localities...

On that basis, propose tasks and solutions to achieve the goals in the 2020 - 2025 period.

Regarding Nghe An province, the report at the Conference showed that the province has a strong intellectual team and it is increasing year by year. In 2008, the province's intellectual team was only over 22,600 people, by 2017 there were 42,800 people and at present there are 60,000 people. In addition, the province has tens of thousands of intellectual children working abroad.

This figure shows that Nghe An has great potential for human resources in all fields; however, in recent times, this force has not yet fully exploited its potential to contribute to the development of the locality.

Along with that, although the Provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 60/2014/QD-UBND regulating the consulting, criticism and social appraisal activities of the Union of Science and Technology Associations of Nghe An province, the effectiveness of this work is still not high.

Therefore, in the coming term, the Standing Committee of the Union needs to study specific solutions, tasks and directions to overcome the above limitations.
