On February 3, 2024 is one of our flagship conferences, the Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Vietnam. This conference aims to showcase innovative research from various disciplines, potentially leading to groundbreaking opportunities for the country's development and addressing global challenges. Initiating “Challenging the Box: Accentuating Vietnam’s Scientific Ingenuities,” for this year’s theme aims to recognize Vietnam's creativity and innovation in adapting to challenges over time with a unique mindset.
This session represents a deliberate departure from conventional boundaries, seeking to ignite a transformative exploration. The country's researchers, known for their agility and adaptability, have been pivotal in driving breakthroughs across various fields. This commitment to cutting-edge research, coupled with a culture that encourages unconventional perspectives, positions Vietnam at the forefront of global innovation. The Vietnamese research landscape is indeed characterized by an out-of-the-box character, propelling the nation into a prominent role in the international research community.
We have invited individuals with extensive backgrounds in Vietnamese academic research, as well as those engaged in research-based startups and companies in Vietnam. They will discuss how they typically operate within academic contexts and share insights on how the research mindset contributes to corporate setups. Our panelists also bring valuable insights from their experiences in fostering collaboration between industry and academia. Through this session, we aim to help the audience grasp the significance of such collaborations. They play a pivotal role in developing technologies that drive improvement and create opportunities within the research landscape. More importantly, we aim to divulge the unique mindset that drives innovation in Vietnam, so that the audience can also have a reference on how further create more research and technologies that are unique and well-suited to solve local challenges.
