The exhibition of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST)<\/strong> begins with the \u201cTunnel of History\u201d<\/strong>, which provides an overview of the Academy\u2019s 50-year journey of formation and development. As the nation\u2019s leading scientific research institution, VAST is entrusted with conducting basic and applied research, as well as implementing scientific and technological advancements to serve the country\u2019s sustainable development.<\/p>\n

On May 20, 1975<\/strong>, the Council of Government (now the Government) issued Decree No. 118\/CP<\/strong>, officially establishing the Vietnam Academy of Science<\/strong>. On May 22, 1993<\/strong>, the Prime Minister issued Decree No. 24\/CP<\/strong>, reorganizing the Vietnam Academy of Science into the National Center for Natural Science and Technology<\/strong>. Subsequently, on January 16, 2004<\/strong>, under Decree No. 27\/2004\/N\u0110-CP<\/strong>, the Center was renamed the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology<\/strong>. On December 25, 2012<\/strong>, the Government issued Decree No. 108\/2012\/N\u0110-CP<\/strong>, officially changing its name to the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST)<\/strong>.

Basic Research<\/strong>
Basic research is one of the core strengths<\/strong> of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST), with many disciplines reaching regional and international standards of excellence<\/strong>. Among its most renowned achievements is the work of Professor Ho\u00e0ng T\u1ee5y<\/strong>, whose mathematical contribution introduced the globally recognized term \u201cT\u1ee5y\u2019s cut.\u201d<\/strong> In the field of physics, Professor Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n Hi\u1ec7u<\/strong> was awarded the Lenin Prize in 1986<\/strong> for his discovery of the law of scale invariance in elementary particle production \u2014 making him the only Vietnamese scientist<\/strong> ever to receive this prestigious award from the former Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

Over the past five years, VAST has published more than 12,000 scientific papers<\/strong>, including 8,400 international publications<\/strong>, marking a 73% increase<\/strong> compared to the previous period \u2014 an average of 1,650 international papers per year<\/strong>. Notable outcomes include the creation of databases on marine and island territories, continental shelf studies, national Atlas maps<\/strong>, and extensive datasets from geological, marine, environmental, seismic, energy, biodiversity, and bioactive natural compound investigations.<\/p>\n

Between 2020 and 2025<\/strong>, the Academy was granted 292 intellectual property titles<\/strong>, including 9 international patents<\/strong> \u2014 a 52% increase<\/strong> compared to the previous term, and an average annual growth rate of 9%<\/strong>, surpassing the original target of 5% per year. VAST continues to lead the nation<\/strong> in the number of patents and utility solutions<\/strong> held by Vietnamese researchers. In recognition of its innovation leadership, Clarivate (UK)<\/strong> awarded VAST the \u201cInnovation Leadership Award for South and Southeast Asia\u201d<\/strong> in both 2020 and 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
