Recently, the entire political system has actively participated, showing high determination in promoting national digital transformation. At the 14th National Congress of the Party, the request to promote the implementation of this task continued to be affirmed. Implementing major policies, VUSTA has issued a plan to implement Resolution 57-NQ/TW and is actively organizing its implementation. At the same time, the Union of Associations has developed a digital transformation project for the period 2026-2030, with an orientation to 2035. Along with that, VUSTA is coordinating with the Vietnam Fatherland Front and member organizations to deploy an operational management information system, contributing to digitizing documents, strengthening connectivity and connectivity throughout the system as well as between the Front and Party and State agencies at the Central and local levels. An important highlight is that VUSTA is implementing the project of building the VUSTA Open Data Portal. Forming a core data infrastructure for the entire system. Introducing an overview of the VUSTA Open Data Portal, Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Lan, Director of the Institute of Innovation and Digital Transformation, said that the VUSTA Open Data Portal is a centralized digital platform, serving the goal of digitizing and comprehensively sharing the scientific and technological data warehouse of the entire system nationwide. The system is built according to the international standard Open Data Portal model, but is customized to suit the specific characteristics of the scientific and technical research environment in Vietnam. This is a core step in VUSTAs digital transformation roadmap, laying the foundation for the core data infrastructure of the entire system. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Hoang Huu Hanh, Deputy Director of the National Digital Transformation Department (Ministry of Science and Technology), VUSTA Open Data Portal will bring 3 core values. Regarding data value, the system helps centralize, standardize and unlock the science and technology data warehouse that is scattered in more than 500 member associations and research institutes. turning discrete assets into a common source of knowledge that can be exploited. For connection value, the Open Data Portal becomes a connecting node between VUSTA and the National Data Portal, the international academic system and the technology community, thereby forming a data-based innovation ecosystem. The VUSTA Open Data Portal also brings policy value. The system contributes to concretizing the National Digital Transformation Program and the Science and Technology Development Strategy for the period 2021-2030, demonstrating VUSTAs pioneering role in digital economic development. According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Gioi, Chairman of the Vietnam Library Association, for the system to operate effectively, it is necessary to converge three core elements: Big data, modern technology infrastructure and high-quality human resources. Accordingly, building big data requires resources. rich, fully digitized, structured data. Technology infrastructure must be strong enough to store and process large amounts of data. In particular, the human factor plays a key role. The operations team needs to have in-depth qualifications in information technology, data management, and network security to ensure the entire data lifecycle - from collection, storage to exploitation and security. Another big challenge is copyright. Digitization and data sharing must strictly comply with intellectual property regulations. In addition, financial resources are also no small problem. Therefore, in addition to the state budget, it is necessary to promote socialization and mobilize the participation of businesses. From practice, many delegates believe that in the context of data increasingly becoming a national strategic resource, building an Open Data Portal not only has technical significance but is also an important step from storing data to creating value from data. Building an Open Data Portal needs to have a suitable roadmap, implemented step by step, prioritizing key content instead of perfectionism from the beginning.Thu GiangSee moreThe Ministry of Science and Technology pioneers in building an open data ecosystem, leading the national digital transformation.See moreList of open data of state agencies prioritized for implementation.See morePriority is to provide open data that people and businesses have high demand for.
