Keywords:
Vietnam, Research and Development, Human Resource DevelopmentAbstract
As Vietnam seeks to enhance its position in the global knowledge economy, the development of robust research and development (R&D) human resources is critical. This study, titled Charting a Path for Vietnam’s R&D Growth: International Perspectives on Human Resource Development, explores global best practices in nurturing R&D talent and examines their applicability to the Vietnamese context. By drawing on case studies and experiences from countries with advanced R&D sectors, such as the United States, Germany, and South Korea, the research identifies key strategies for fostering a skilled, innovative workforce. The study focuses on education and training systems, policies that incentivize R&D careers, institutional frameworks for knowledge transfer, and the role of public-private partnerships. The findings highlight the importance of tailored policies, long-term investments in education, and a collaborative environment between academia, industry, and government. Recommendations for Vietnam include enhancing R&D infrastructure, building stronger connections between universities and industries, and investing in continuous professional development for researchers. This research offers insights into how Vietnam can leverage international experiences to create a thriving R&D ecosystem that drives innovation and economic growth.
