The field of digital technology and digital transformation also has its own mechanisms. Specifically, digital technology talents are applied according to Decree No. 353/2025/ND-CP; science, technology, innovation and digital transformation experts comply with Decree No. 249/2025/ND-CP; The general engineer and chief architect of science, technology, innovation and digital transformation are implemented according to Decree No. 231/2025/ND-CP. According to the assessment of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the continuous completion of new mechanisms shows a strong shift from the mindset of human resource management to competition to attract brain matter, in the context that science and technology, innovation and digital transformation are becoming strategic growth drivers. strategy of the country. Regarding the actual implementation results, the Ministry of Science and Technology said that for the policy of attracting talented people to work in state agencies, the Ministry is organizing its implementation in affiliated units in accordance with regulations. To date, the Ministry has recruited 33 cases to work at agencies and units under the Ministry according to Decree No. 179/2024/ND-CP. All information will be updated to the National Database of Vietnamese Talent managed by the Ministry of Home Affairs. In addition, a number of units under the Ministry such as the National Digital Transformation Department are continuing to develop plans to recruit civil servants and public employees according to the talent attraction mechanism. Regarding newly issued policies for young scientific talents, talented young engineers and digital technology talents, the Ministry of Science and Technology is coordinating with ministries, branches and localities to implement them. and summarize the results according to regulations. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, the synchronous construction of a policy system is expected to create a foundation to discover, attract, use and retain high-quality science and technology human resources, especially in the fields of core technology and strategic technology. Support up to 1 billion VND per year for excellent graduate students. Along with policies to attract talent, the Ministry of Science and Technology has also begun to shift towards direct investment in the workforce. High-quality young researchers. Recently, the Ministry has issued the Program to support excellent PhD students for the period 2026-2030 (VREF), with the highlight being a maximum support level of up to 1 billion VND per year for each outstanding PhD student if there is a creative, groundbreaking research proposal and the host unit ensures eligibility for implementation. According to Mr. Dao Ngoc Chien, Director of the National Science and Technology Development Fund, the program is built from the perspective of considering PhD students are the central force of scientific research activities, directly conducting in-depth research and creating breakthroughs in science and technology. To be selected, PhD students must meet 4 main groups of criteria, including: the quality of the research proposal is creative and groundbreaking; professional capacity of graduate students; instructors capacity; and physical and technical facilities conditions for research of the host unit. Applications will be evaluated competitively in each field and ranked from high to low. Not only does the program tighten input, the program also places very high requirements on output. Supported PhD students must have an international publication in the Q1 group or create valuable inventions. This is a measure of the quality of both PhD students, instructors and training facilities, the representative of the National Foundation for Science and Technology Development emphasized. According to the design of the program, the maximum support level of 1 billion VND per year is not an equal allocation for all PhD students but is built based on specific estimates and approved by the board. Mr. Dao Ngoc Chien believes that a large level of support will help young researchers feel secure in pursuing their studiespromote long-term research, while increasing the autonomy of training facilities and research institutes. The program also applies a monitoring and evaluation mechanism according to implementation progress. In case the PhD student does not achieve the expected results but has followed the correct process, the funding will not be recovered; Howev
