national scale. The Institute has made practical contributions in the course of preparing and deploying the science and techno­ logy policy; and other Important documents on the Improvement of the mechanism of the economic management on the national scale. The organizational experience and activity of the Institute for science management of Viet Nam shows that with only a few researchers and service personnel In cooperation with other scientific workers In R&D Institutes, production, teaching. management, and other governmental agencies a mechanism of management for science and technology can be formulated. 238 Thirdly, It Is necessary to carry on a comprehensive research on problems relating to the activity of science manage­ ment In particular and economic-social management In general. A really effective structure for 'managing the scientific and technical activity can only b• built on the basis of the results of such programme. In 1981, the VIet Nam State Committee tor Science and Technology was entrusted by the Council of Ministers with a task of studying the State's key programmes of scientific and technical progress, keeping In view the programme 60-01. This programme comprises of nearly 50 subjects relating to the Improvement of the mechanism of planning the system of the science management, the system of the research and development• the system of economic level, etc. The·Research Institute for Science Management In Its capacity as a permanent office for the 60-01 Programme has harmonized and co-ordinated the research activity among these subjects. Upto now, a number of scientific research studies have been completed and the results obtained thorugh these studies have helped to make an active contribution to the Improvement of the mechanism of management for science In VIet Nam. Financially, expenditures for the 60•01 Programme take up only about 0~08 of the total expenditure al loted by the
