In Vietnam, many fields of basic sciences in general have reached international standards.

At this time, the whole country is bustling with the topics of "National responsibility", "New era/era of national rise", the annual conference with the theme "Basic science with national responsibility" is timely and on point. With the philosophy "Academy is the foundation, modernity is the trend", we hope that today's conference is an opportunity for scientists and units to promote previous cooperation results, at the same time propose directions and solutions related to training, research and community service, promote the role and strengths of each unit, and contribute to the development of basic science in the country".

According to Professor, Dr. Lai Quoc Khanh, after 40 years of renovation, the country's foundation, potential, position and international prestige have been raised to a new level. Having achieved these historic achievements, the country's basic science has made an important contribution and deserves to be affirmed. Basic science with all its very specific activities including basic research; basic science human resource training; scientific consulting at the level of innovative thinking, planning national guidelines and policies has made important and responsible contributions.

Not only in terms of the specificity of basic science, in the interdisciplinary era, basic science research and training organizations and basic science intellectuals have also made highly applicable contributions in all three aspects of research, training and policy advice.
