At the meeting, Professor Serge Haroche shared that for sustainable development, the school needs to focus on training the young generation, arousing interest in basic science, and at the same time creating conditions for students to participate in research.

"Depending on resources, it is necessary to harmoniously combine basic and applied science training," said Professor Serge Haroche.

Professor John Doyle believes that Quy Nhon University has the qualifications to become a regional scientific research center. According to him, basic science is the foundation for all applied research. Encouraging young students to participate in research will create a new impetus for long-term development.
