"In particular, many of the projects participating in this year's Final Round were highly appreciated by the Scientific Council for their timeliness, applicability, creativity, and potential for practical development," emphasized Dr. Thai Doan Thanh.

This year's competition attracted 250 entries with the participation of 878 students from 13 faculties of the university. After the faculty-level competition, 90 outstanding entries were selected to advance to the university-level final round.

In the final round, the projects were thoroughly evaluated by the expert scientific council across five fields: Food technology - nutrition; Chemical - biological - environmental technology; Engineering science; Economics; and Social sciences.

The judging process was conducted objectively and fairly based on several criteria such as research content, scientific products, poster presentation style, and the students' ability to debate and answer questions.

In particular, beyond demonstrating specialized knowledge, many projects also showcased students' sensitivity to current events, technological trends, and the practical demands of society. The research focused on various topics such as food preservation technology, biomaterials, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and legal issues in the digital environment.

The Organizing Committee stated that the quality of this year's projects has shown significant positive changes, with many research projects receiving thorough investment and having the potential to further develop into applied products or participate in higher-level academic competitions.

Many projects with high practical application won awards.

In the final results, the Organizing Committee awarded 5 first prizes, 8 second prizes, 12 third prizes, and 65 consolation prizes to high-quality projects that demonstrated creativity and practical applicability.
