VOV.VN - A delegation from the Scientific Council of central Party agencies, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Linh, vice chairman of the council, visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 1 to 7 to share experience in policy making, digital transformation, and innovation.

At the meetings, leaders from UAE agencies and research institutes provided the delegation with information on the UAE’s achievements and experience in carrying out scientific research and innovation in a number of key areas, including the development of artificial intelligence, the building of big data systems, and human resource development at research institutions and major universities.
They shared experience in establishing mechanisms and policies for the transfer and application of research results in socio-economic development, developing startups, and implementing scientific and technological projects.
