Workshop on social mobility management policy for science and technology human resources

The workshop is an activity on the topic:“Social mobility management policy for high-quality science and technology human resources in the context of international integration” (Code KX01.01/16-20), under the National Key Science and Technology Program KX.01/16-20 "Research on important issues in social sciences and humanities serving socio-economic development" chaired by the Institute of Policy and Management, University of Social Sciences and Humanities and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dao Thanh Truong as Project Manager.

The workshop attracted the participation of many managers and policy planning experts from domestic agencies, ministries, universities and research institutes.

Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Kim (Vice Rector of the University) reviewed the achievements that the University has made in the field of policy and management research in recent times. Accordingly, the Institute of Policy and Management under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities is considered a leading unit in successfully implementing projects at all levels; organizing seminars and discussions on science, technology and innovation policies domestically and internationally. The research results of the projects conducted by the Institute have attracted special attention from policy makers and the scientific community, contributing to providing valuable arguments for the process of planning and evaluating science and technology policies in Vietnam.

This workshop continues to be an outstanding scientific activity, helping researchers, scientists, and policy makers to exchange theoretical and practical issues on social mobility management policies for high-quality science and technology human resources in the context of the current intellectual competition between countries.

At this workshop, the two main contents discussed by the delegates were: how to expand the forum on social mobility in science and education? How to apply the social mobility approach in science and education policy?

The reports at the workshop mentioned the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, marking a turning point in the emergence of new types of scientific and technological products and services that apply the convergence of physical and digital applications - the Internet of Things and the formation of cyber-physical production systems. According to experts, these changes inevitably affect the traditional way of organizing labor management, leading to the following consequence: The power to hold the means of production will certainly be gradually replaced by the power of information.

As a special workforce with creative thinking, high-quality science and technology human resources will be proactive in accessing digital tools to seek opportunities and working environments that maximize their capacity and qualifications, thereby forming human resource mobility flows between countries, regions, and between science and technology sectors and fields.

Scientists have commented: Social mobility of high-quality scientific and technological human resources is increasingly diverse and large-scale, which on the one hand can help create advanced scientific and technological achievements, on the other hand is the cause of the brain drain phenomenon in countries, including Vietnam, becoming more serious. This raises the need to study theories and approaches on social mobility of high-quality scientific and technological human resources in order to propose appropriate solutions, helping the circulation of human resources to bring surplus values ​​to the country instead of creating resource gaps and brain drain as it is today.
