Original research EVALUATION OF SURVEY RESULTS ON THE ROLE AND IMPACT OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND INNOVATION ON LIFE AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC SECTORSPages 119-126 Abstract
Within the framework of a provincial-level project in Ha Tinh on researching and evaluating the current state and solutions to enhance the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of Ha Tinh province based on science, technology, and innovation, this study conducted a survey of experts, scientists, and policymakers in Ha Tinh h and Nghe An provinces. The results indicate that: (i) Television and the internet are the most common means of accessing information on science, technology, and innovation, with traditional forms of communication gradually being replaced by modern digital media. Notably, there is increasing interest in science, technology, and innovation; (ii) Science and technology are perceived to have significant impacts on life and various sectors, particularly healthcare, the environment, and energy; (iii) Regarding policy, R&D support is considered crucial, with an emphasis on the role of public investment in R&D. Policies should strengthen support for STI research. However, programs serving STI still have many limitations. Strengthening linkages between the government, enterprises, and research institutes is essential; (iv) To promote STI, it is necessary to enhance international cooperation, establish international collaboration programs, and encourage the mobility of researchers.
Keywords: Science, technology, innovation, STI, Total factor productivity, TFP.
