Ho Chi Minh City National University promotes basic scientific research

Ho Chi Minh City National University has just organized a seminar to collect opinions for the Program "Improving training capacity and basic scientific research at Ho Chi Minh City National University to reach advanced levels, on par with the region and the world in the period 2025-2030, vision 2045".

The goal of the Program is to make basic scientific research the foundation for developing national engineering, technology, and innovation, nurturing scientific talents, and creating a premise for inventions and mastering strategic technologies, contributing to rapid and sustainable development.

Accordingly, by 2030, the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Economics , Management, and Languages ​​will be in the top 100-150 in the world; the fields of Biology and Earth Sciences will be in the top 200-250 in the world according to the QS rankings.

The program is implemented based on three pillars: Developing scientific talents in basic and interdisciplinary sciences; integrating basic research with strategic technologies and innovation; building modern research infrastructure, synchronized with digital transformation.

Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Hai Quan, Director of Ho Chi Minh City National University spoke at the seminar.

At the seminar, Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Hai Quan, Director of Ho Chi Minh City National University, said that in recent years, Ho Chi Minh City National University has achieved many outstanding achievements in research and training in basic sciences and interdisciplinary sciences.

Many of these programs are in the field of basic sciences) and 154 programs meet international accreditation standards.

Discussing at the seminar, scientists said that the program is an opportunity for Ho Chi Minh City National University to promote the development of basic scientific research fields, and emphasized that to conduct basic scientific research, there must also be a team in the fields of engineering technology and applied science. Therefore, the development of basic scientific talent needs to pay more attention to the team outside of basic scientific fields.

Delegates speaking at the seminar.

The comments also stated that basic science does not only include the branches of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. All fields of science have basic research. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement and improve the capacity of postgraduate training to be equivalent to that of advanced countries in the region and the world.

Along with that, it is necessary to add solutions to strengthen scientific research cooperation with basic research groups around the world. This cooperation will help develop basic scientific research groups...
