Theoretical Basis of Science, Technology and State Budget Spending Management Mechanism for Science and Technology Activities

This paper systematically explores the fundamental theories of science and technology activities, clarifying the factors that influence their development. It also discusses theoretical issues related to state budget allocation for science and technology activities and the management mechanism for state budget spending on these activities. For the first time, it introduces criteria for classifying the content of the state budget management mechanism for science and technology activities, including: budget process management mechanism; spending method management mechanism; and fund model management mechanism. The paper also shares experiences on financial management mechanisms and state budgets for science and technology activities in various countries and regions worldwide, drawing lessons for Vietnam.
