10. Summary of new results of the thesis:

In terms of theory, the thesis defines autonomy and self-responsibility for science and technology; defines research universities, in which autonomy in science and technology is understood as self-determination of research tasks, and self-responsibility for science and technology is understood as self-assessment, self-monitoring of the implementation of science and technology activities, ready to publicize all results of science and technology activities to competent authorities; and research universities are places that focus mainly on scientific research activities, creation and dissemination of knowledge in their key fields. Teaching and training on the basis of research. The thesis has clarified in terms of theory the impact of policies in general and the impact of science and technology policies in particular on science and technology activities in universities such as: Approaches to evaluating science and technology policies; Methods for evaluating the impact of science and technology policies; Develop a theoretical framework for assessing policy impact and provide indicators to assess the impact of science and technology policies on science and technology activities in universities.

In terms of practice, by combining quantitative and qualitative investigation methods, the Thesis has clarified the current status of the impact of two groups of science and technology policies on science and technology activities in universities; assessed the positive impacts; negative impacts of the two groups of policies on science and technology activities in universities and pointed out the limitations and shortcomings of these two groups of science and technology policies themselves. On that basis, the Thesis has proposed four groups of solutions to orient the impact of science and technology policies to improve the scientific research function of universities in order to contribute to promoting the formation of research universities in Vietnam.

11. Practical application:

Policy-making agencies can refer to this in the process of perfecting the necessary science and technology policy system to influence science and technology activities in universities, thereby contributing to promoting the formation of research universities in Vietnam.

Scientific and technological organizations such as universities can refer to the solutions proposed by the Thesis to improve the scientific research function of the school in order to gradually contribute to the criteria of a research university.

Scientific and educational organizations can use it as a reference in their research on education policy or science and technology policy.

12. Further research directions:

The impact of science and technology policy on training activities in universities to promote the formation of research universities.

10. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:

From a theoretical point of view, the thesis has defined the self-control and self-responsibility of science and technology. Definition of research university, whereby autonomy in science and technology is understood as self-determination of research tasks, and self-responsibility in science and technology is understood as self-assessment and self-monitoring. To carry out scientific and technological activities, ready to publicize with the competent bodies all results of the implementation of scientific and technological activities; Research universities are the focus of research, creation and dissemination of knowledge in key areas. Teaching, training on the basis of research. The thesis has clarified the theoretical implications of policy in general and the impact of science and technology policy in particular on science and technology activities in universities such as the main assessment approach scientific and technological books; Methods of assessing impacts on science and technology policy; Develop a theoretical framework for assessing the impact of policy and provide indicators for assessing the impact of two groups of science and technology policy on science and technology activities in the university.

On the practical side, by combining the use of qualitative and quantitative surveys, the thesis clarifies the impact of the two groups of science and technology policies on science and technology. in universities; Assess positive (positive) effects; negative impacts of the two policy groups on scientific activities in universities and point out the inadequacies and concerns of these two groups of science and technology policy. Based on that, the thesis proposed four sets of solutions to influence the policy of science and technology to improve the scientific research function of the university to contribute to promote the formation of research universities. Vietnam.

11. Practical applicability:

Policy-makers can refer to the process of finalizing the system of science and technology policy needed to influence the science and technology activities in the university, thereby contributing to the promotion of the image. a research university in Vietnam.
