📋 Tender Overview
Responding to Vietnam Book and Reading Culture Day, April 17, the Center for Data and Scientific Information (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology) organizes a discussion and book exhibition to spread knowledge and promote an innovation ecosystem. Download Book exhibition introduces more than 500 typical scientific books and publications - Photo: VGP/Thu GiangThe book exhibition takes place from April 17 to May 21, 2026 at the Library of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, introducing more than 500 typical scientific books and publications, along with a system of 12 scientific journals of the Academy, publications of Hanoi University of Science and Technology (USTH), Pi Magazine and accompanying units. In particular, the space displaying 50 documentary photos of the Academys 50-year journey of construction and development recreated important milestones and outstanding achievements, thereby arousing pride and inspiring generations of young researchers to continue the tradition. The activity of giving away more than 200 books to readers is also a meaningful highlight, contributing to spreading reading culture and arousing passion for knowledge. awareness and spirit of lifelong learning, especially among young people. In the context of increasingly rich information, books still serve as a sustainable knowledge foundation, helping people access knowledge in a systematic and in-depth manner. Download the discussion Innovation ecosystem - foundation for strategic technology development - Photo: VGP/Thu GiangKnowledge must become practical value Along with the book exhibition, the discussion Innovation ecosystem - foundation for strategic technology development opens a space for connection between knowledge and action. Experts focused on discussing mechanisms to promote applied research, technology development and commercialization of research results - key factors to turn science into a driving force for development. Sharing at the discussion, Associate Professor, PhD. To Thi Mai Huong (Hanoi University of Science and Technology) said that the innovation ecosystem in the university environment can be built on pillars such as intellectual property exploitation, technology transfer, business cooperation, startup incubation and innovation support funds. The USTH Innovation Hub model is a typical example, referenced from international centers and adjusted to suit Vietnamese conditions. Initial results show clear effectiveness: In 2025, the school was granted 2 patents, many research products are gradually developed towards commercialization; Students have won many awards in entrepreneurship and technology. Notably, the open cooperation model (Joint-lab) between schools and businesses has helped directly connect research resources with market demand, contributing to promoting commercialization and training high-quality human resources. According to Associate Professor, PhD. To Thi Mai Huong, linking institutes - schools - businesses is a key factor to form a sustainable innovation ecosystem. In fact, the ecosystem at USTH has recorded 15 start-ups from alumni and many collaborative projects with businesses. Another notable content is the speech of Dr. Ngo Manh Tien (Institute of Physics) on developing autonomous mobile robots (AMR) - a strategic technology direction with great application potential in the nuclear and medical fields. According to Dr. Ngo Manh Tien, the research team has gradually mastered the process of designing and manufacturing robots integrated with artificial intelligence, from sensor integration, control algorithm development to actual testing. Technology platforms such as ROS, SLAM and machine learning allow robots to operate autonomously in complex environments. Based on that, robots can perform tasks in dangerous environments such as radiation monitoring, technical operations support and transportation. In healthcare, robots assist in dividing radiation doses in PET-CT and SPECT techniques, contributing to minimizing exposure for medical staff. Robot systems have been tested at the Da Lat Nuclear Reactor and a number of nuclear medicine facilities such as Hospital 103, showing stable operation and potential for practical application. From implementation experience, Dr. Ngo Manh Tien emphasized that the three-party cooperation model (research institutes - training institutions - businesses) is a key factor to shorten the gap from research to the market, while promoting the training of high-quality human resources. Through a series of activities, the connection between scientists, training institutions and businesses is expected to continue to be strengthened, contributing to spreading reading culture, promoting academic spirit and developing a sustainable innovation ecosystem. solid.Thu Giang See moreVietnam Book and Reading Culture Day 2026: Spreading Knowledge circuit - From book page to digital space See morePrime Minister awards decision to appoint President of Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology
