To closely coordinate with universities in conducting basic research in fields of mathematics, theoretical physics and other natural sciences. 4. To supply scientific-technological personnel and retrain scientific personnel to meet the center�s tasks. 5. To consolidate and develop rationally the center�s scientific-technological organizations to meet the national scientific-technological development requirements. 6. To step by step complete the renovation, construction and efficient use of working facilities, laboratories, technological experiment areas, systems of posts, stations, camps, sample museums, tools, equipment and machinery in service of the center�s scientific-technological research activities. III. LOCATIONS FOR EXECUTION OF THE MASTER PLAN: 1. The center�s scientific research and technological development establishments shall be located in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Nha Trang and Da Lat. 2. The networks of posts, stations and camps.(for geo-physics, geo-dynamics, geography, biology, ecology, oceanography, tropicalization experiment...) shall be located in various localities. IV. THE TASKS OF THE FIRST STAGE (TILL THE YEAR 2005): 1. Scientific and technological research and development: a) Regarding natural sciences: To research a number of theoretical matters in the spear-head scientific fields, undertake the orientated and selective application of modern scientific achievements in order to create foundations for technological renovation, rational use of natural resources and environmental protection. To focus on mathematics, information technology, systematic sciences and cybernetics; solid-state physics, optics, quantum electronics, nuclear physics; project structure mechanics, new materials mechanics, dynamics, hydro-aerodynamic systems; organic chemistry, assimilation and catalysis, analytical chemistry; genetic technology, cytological technology, molecular biology; geological structure and geo-dynamic characteristics of Vietnam, geophysics, geographical studies, climate changes, forecast of natural catastrophes in Vietnam, studies of the sea and continental shelf. b) Regarding technologies: The technological application and transfer constitute its central important tasks which help create the capability to opt for, adapt to and control imported modern technologies, thus contributing to developing a clean and sustainable agriculture (selection of high-yield and high-quality plant and animal strains, application of bio-technology and advanced biological measures to produce clean agricultural products); to build the model of ecological villages, with adequate clean water supply and environmental hygiene in rural areas; to apply computer technology to industrial development; to efficiently apply such spear-head technologies as information technology, biological technology, new-materials technology and automation technology to production and daily life. c) Regarding natural resources, environment and natural calamity prevention and combat: To research, apply and transfer scientific-technological solutions in order to efficiently exploit natural resources, to protect the environment, to prevent, combat and reduce damage caused by natural calamities; to apply new technologies to natural resources surveys, environmental pollution control and treatment and biodiversity protection. d) Regarding national security and defense: To apply advanced technologies to the protection and restoration of optical military equipment and the maintenance of weapons; to apply network technology in service of security activities. 2.
