From the review of various data sources, the authors selected the optimal option to determine the list of R&D organizations in MS field in Vietnam and conduct surveys at those organizations to collect data whether serving the current status. In addition to analyzing a number of key operational issues, this report provides some recommendations for improving the performance of R&D organizations in MS field - one of priority fields in S&T development strategy 2011-2020 and vision 2030. Keywords: Current status; R&D organization; Material sciences field. Code: 17051501 1. Introduction MS is an interdisciplinary2 S&T field, of particular importance to the development of modern technology products. In recent decades, not only in Vietnam but also in most countries, especially in developed countries, MS is an priority area for development3. Therefore, the development of R&D organizations in this field is always concerned by Governments. On the other hand, recently, the Government of Vietnam has issued several important new policies directly related to the operation of S&T 1 The author’s contact email address: pxthao2001@ In the article “Classification of R&D organizations by sector for assessment: case of material sciences in Vietnam” in Journal of Science and Technology Policy and Management, No. 2, 2015, the
