Summary of the results of the thesis: The thesis has studied the impact of science and technology policy on the autonomy process of research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. The research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology have shifted from pure basic research to oriented basic research, applied research and technology development. The operating environment of the research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology has been democratized and socialized. Contractual labor in the research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, especially in the group of technology development institutes, is increasing. The research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology have been thoroughly decentralized (Decree 115/2005/ND-CP), and are given high autonomy in terms of organization, staffing, finance, international cooperation, including the right to conduct business as enterprises or to convert into science and technology enterprises. In addition to the positive impacts mentioned above, Decree 35/HDBT and Decree 115/2005/ND-CP also have negative impacts on the autonomy of the research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. Innovation in the labor regime in science and technology agencies (Article 14 of Decree 35/HDBT and Article 11 of Decree 115/2005/ND-CP). Its nature is to change the civil servant regime of scientific staff to the civil servant regime, gradually building a scientific labor market. However, up to now, this goal has not been achieved, there is still a situation in which in a research and development institute under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, there are two types of staff in the establishment: permanent establishment and contract establishment. Autonomy and self-responsibility among the three groups of research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology are not completely the same, but the issued policies have not clearly defined the level of autonomy for each group of institutes, leading to the fact that the institutes are basically affected very little by these policies. In addition to the positive and negative impacts mentioned above, Decree 35/HDBT and Decree 115/2005/ND-CP also create peripheral impacts on the autonomy process of research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. Units 35 operate in fields that are too broad, encroaching on other services belonging to other functional agencies, causing difficulties for the management of these agencies. Financial autonomy of the R&D institutes under the VAST may cause external impacts, creating a large income gap among staff in the R&D institutes under the VAST. In short, the above policies have created conditions for better S&T activities of the R&D institutes under the VAST. However, autonomy alone is not enough. Lack of autonomy capacity and spirit is the reason why some autonomous relationships have been affirmed in writing (allowing rights) but have not yet formed in life. 11. Practical applicability: The assessment of the impact of the issued science and technology policies, specifically Decree 35/HDBT and Decree 115/2005/ND-CP on the research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, shows that in order to create conditions for the research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology to exercise autonomy and self-responsibility, it is necessary to create solutions to overcome the negative impacts of the above policies on the research and development institutes under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology in the process of: autonomy in determining tasks and expanding operational functions; autonomy in organization, joint ventures, and associations; autonomy in finance; autonomy in bank credit sources; autonomy in labor; autonomy in international cooperation; autonomy in building assessment rights. Thus, policy solutions to promote the autonomy of research and development institutes under the VAST need to focus on building autonomous capacity and spirit of autonomy, thereby creating autonomy for these institutes. On the other hand, policy solutions to increase the rights, capacity and spirit of autonomy for research and development institutes under the VAST cannot be carried out separately and independently but must be carried out synchronously. 12. Further research directions: The research direction that needs to continue in the coming time is: Continuing to study the arguments for building new policies to create a balance between autonomy and self-responsibility, focusing on building autonomous capacity for research and development institutes under the VAST combined with creating autonomy and spirit of autonomy, to build these institutes into truly autonomous entities.

Summary of the findings of the thesis: The thesis has studied the impact of policy on science and technology for the autonomy of R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology. R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology has diverted pure basic research to oriented basic research, applied research and technology development. Working environment of R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology are democratization and socialization. Contract labor in R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology, especially in technology development is increasing. R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology have been radically decentralized (the decree 115/2005/ND-CP), autonomy has been highly in terms of organization, personnel, finance, international cooperation, including the right business such as business or converted into science and technology enterprises. Apart from the positive effects mentioned above, decrees 35/HDBT and 115/2005/ND-CP also create negative impacts to the autonomy of R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology. Innovation in using labor of Institute of science and technology (the article 14 of decree 35/HDBT and article 11of decree 115/2005/ND-CP). Its nature is toggle switch from public servants of science workers into official, has gradually developed scientific labor market. However, so far this goal has not been implemented yet, still in a state R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology exist two types of workers on the payroll: payroll and payroll permanent contract. Autonomy and self – responsibility among the three groups of R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology are not fully implemented the same. But the policy was issued not clearly define the degree of autonomy to each group, leading to a group of basic research institutes are affected very little from these policies. Besides these above positive and negative impacts, decree 35/HDBT and decree 115/2005/ND-CP also creates peripheral impacts on the autonomy of R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology. The units of the 35 decree which is operating in a too broad field is encroaching upon the other services of other agencies, making it difficult for the management of these agencies. Financial autonomy of R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology can cause peripheral effects, creating significant income gap among workers of R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology. In short, these policies have created the conditions for scientific and technological activities of R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology better. But autonomy alone is not enough. Incapacity and mental self-autonomy is the reason why some of relational autonomy has been confirmed in writing (for right), has not been formed in the life. 11. Practical applicability, if any: Assessing the impact of policy on science and technology has been issued, namely the decrees 35/HDBT and 115/2005/ND-CP for R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology shows: to create the conditions for R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology policies executing the autonomy and self-responsibility is to create solutions to overcome the negative impacts of these for R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology technology in the process: self-determination and expansion function; autonomous organizations, joint ventures; self-financing, autonomous credit bank, human autonomy, autonomy of international cooperation, self-assessment right. 12. Further research directions, if any: Thus, policy measures to promote the autonomy of R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology should focus on capacity building and spiritual self-autonomy, thereby giving the autonomy to these institutes. On the other hand, the policy measures to increase the rights, power and spiritual self-autonomy for R&D institutes of Vietnam academy of science and technology, can not conduct a separate, independent but to synchronous.
