M.A Tran Duc Sieu – Deputy Director of the Center for Development of Young Science and Technology – Ho Chi Minh Municipal HCYU delivered the speechat the conference.
The 4th Scientific Research Student Conference has attracted nearly 60 research projects with more than 150 students participating, including the fields of Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Sciences and engineering, and Social Sciences, showing the research potential of International University students enormously.
Exhibition area of Scientific Research topics at this year’s Conference.
In the exhibition areas, contestants shared and communicated directly with the judges through Poster presentations. The research topics were scored by the judges and highly praised by the judges for their skills in applying theory in practical research as well as their practical ability to society. In addition, the judges specified points to overcome on the approach, analysis highlighting the research content and the inadequate points in the report of the students to help them improve their research topic.
