Participants at the event discussed and assessed the current situation, role and development of a contingent of intellectuals in various sectors and fields.

The impacts of the fourth Industrial Revolution on the intellectuals were also touched upon as well as solutions to further promote their roles in the socio-economic development of Yen Bai province in the coming time, contributing to the successful implementation of the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term.

The workshop was held on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Vietnam Science and Technology Day (May 18). It was a meaningful activity to honour scientists, introduce scientific research and technological development results and enhance the application of science and technology into production. The event was also an opportunity to raise awareness of Vietnamese intellectuals and arouse passion and creativity among people from all walks of life.
