2 Wide applicability in Vietnamese conditions: The proposed solution has been tested, tried, and confirmed to be suitable or has been effectively used.

3 Economic, technological, and social effectiveness: The solution provides more socioeconomic advantages than equivalent solutions now available in Vietnam, and it has no negative consequences on the environment and society.

Research project layout

  1. Question: State the necessity of the topic, the reason for choosing the topic.
  2. Document overview: A brief overview of the topic, stating the scientific solutions that have been solved at home and abroad, the existing problems that need to be further researched, and the author’s solution (the author’s group). 
  3. Objectives – Methods: Objectives of the work, research methods.
  4. Results – Discussion: Content – ​​research results achieved.
  5. Conclusion – Suggestion: State the conclusions, scientific significance, economic and social effectiveness, scale, and scope of application, and suggest directions for further research.
  6. References, appendices, list of previous works of the author (if any).

The application file consists of two sets, including the application form, a description of the contest solution, and the full text of the contest solution in the fields of science and technology.

  1. The application form (made according to the form) includes the following contents:
