MoET seeks to lure Overseas Vietnamese scientists back

A project to attract overseas Vietnamese experts and scientists to
participate 
in research and technology transfer in Vietnam's educational sector
between 
2008-2020 is currently being planned.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET), the project
worth 
hundreds of millions of dollars will draw participants from many
sectors.

About 300,000 of the Vietnamese estimated to live and work abroad are
university 
or post-university graduates and account for 10-15 percent of the total
number 
of Vietnamese expatriates. They have specialised in various sectors,
including 
technology, electronics, air space, aviation and telecommunication.

Professor Dr Hoang Ngoc Ha, director of the Department of Science,
Technology 
and Environment, under the MoET, said that it is necessary to create
favourable 
working and living conditions for overseas Vietnamese scientists if we
want them 
to return to their native country to work.

Regarding the working conditions, Mr Ha added that the MoET will
encourage 
educational institutions to renovate their teaching programmes along the
line of 
international standards, and improve the efficiency of scientific
research and 
technology transfer.

The Government will fund 70 percent of the project's costs until 2010
and 60 
percent of other costs for the next 2011-2015 period.
