ACVYS 2018 signals noticeable results of the community of the Vietnamese under- and post-graduate students as well as scientists living in the Republic of Korea (RoK).

For five years, ACVYS has played the role of a bridge linking Vietnamese students learning and doing research in RoK and domestic experts, scientists, as well as managers via many cooperative technological researches and applications in various fields of life science, biological medicine, chemistry and chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil and environment engineering, information technology – electronics – telecommunications, and materials science.

Highly appreciating VSAK in hosting this event, Vietnamese Ambassador to RoK Nguyen Vu Tu stated that all expertise and skills gained thru learning and doing research in RoK will no doubt help the Vietnamese young to better contribute to the economic growth and modernization of their country.

VSAK Chairman Vu Duc Luong said that more than 100 high-quality pieces of research sent to the conference were able to pass the selection round and critical assessment round of the evaluation board to be presented in the event.

Besides the main event, many workshops to talk about hot issues like energy transformation, nanomaterial, nano-composite, biochemical material also attracted the attention of a great number of international scientists.
