The Ministry of Science and Technology has announced that research
laboratories throughout the country will be opened to the public for the
first time on May 18 next year, the Vietnam’s Day of Science and
Technology.
The event will mark the 55th anniversary of the
ministry’s establishment and special science and technology seminars
will be organised to celebrate.
There are currently 600
State-owned scientific and technological institutes and about 900
non-State ones. Of these 300 institutes, the ministry said it is going
to submit a proposal for the construction of several science-themed
amusement parks to make science more attractive to young people.
Minister Nguyen Quan said the annual Day of Science and Technology
will provide a special opportunity for museums to attract more visitors
and promote the country’s many scientific achievements.-VNA
