Building an education and science system associated with industrialization and modernization

3 important pillars in development strategy

On October 24, the 10th Asian Complexity Conference (ACCC-10) took place at Hanoi National University of Education, gathering many domestic and international scientists .

Speaking at the event, Permanent Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong emphasized that this is a prestigious academic forum in the region, as well as a place for meeting, exchanging and connecting leading scientists in the field of Complex Chemistry.

The Deputy Minister said that the workshop took place in the context that Vietnam is extensively implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation; along with Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in education and training development.

These two resolutions affirm that Science - Technology, Education - Training and International Cooperation are three important pillars in Vietnam's development strategy and deep international integration.

According to the Deputy Minister, the Ministry of Education and Training has identified the strategic direction of building an education and science system closely linked to the goals of industrialization and modernization, while improving the quality of research and application in key areas.

The Ministry also aims to strongly transform university and postgraduate education into a driving force for innovation, a bridge between knowledge and production, between schools and businesses, and encourage students and lecturers to actively participate in research, academic exchange and practical application.

The Deputy Minister expressed his hope that students would not only be knowledge recipients, but also be creators, scientific entrepreneurs, and proactively participate in and lead international cooperation projects.

Referring to the role of Complex Chemistry, Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong said that this is a key research field, making important contributions to the development of new materials, energy, environment and medicine.

Recently, scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their achievements in developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

This achievement opens up opportunities for the Vietnamese complex chemistry industry to participate more deeply in the global value chain, not only in basic research but also in technology transfer, material production and practical applications in industry, environment and medicine.

Promote international academic cooperation and exchange

According to the Deputy Minister, hosting the ACCC-10 Conference is a testament to the increasingly high position of Vietnamese science in the international arena, while also affirming the organizational, cooperation and research capacity of domestic universities and research institutes.

The Deputy Minister hopes that through the workshop, lecturers and students will strengthen their connections with international academic networks, form young research groups and collaborative topics with high applicability, contributing to bringing the Vietnamese chemical industry into a new stage - from research to production, from theory to application.

The leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training believe that the results and ideas shared at the workshop will open up new research directions, promote effective and sustainable cooperation, and contribute to the strong development of Vietnamese Chemical Science in the period of innovation and deep international integration.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Trao - Vice Principal, Hanoi National University of Education delivered the opening speech

Affirming that the 10th Asian Complexity Conference is an important scientific event, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Trao - Vice Principal of Hanoi National University of Education - said that the conference brings together researchers, professors, and young scientists from many Asian countries and other regions in the world.

Since its first organization in 2007, ACCC has taken place in many countries and territories such as: Japan, China, India, Korea, Australia, Malaysia and Thailand... Over the years, ACCC has become one of the leading prestigious scientific forums for researchers in the field of Complex Chemistry, contributing to promoting international academic cooperation and exchange.

ACCC is a specialized scientific forum in the field of Coordination Chemistry, held on a rotational basis among Asian countries. In 2025, the 10th conference – marking 10 years of development – will be held for the first time in Vietnam, chaired by Hanoi National University of Education, in collaboration with Hanoi University of Science and Technology, University of Natural Sciences (Vietnam National University, Hanoi) and Vietnam Chemical Association.

The conference is not only a large-scale international scientific event but also affirms the role and capacity of Vietnam in the world scientific community, contributing to promoting research, innovation and sustainable development in the field of Chemistry.

Prof. Dr. Dang Ngoc Quang - Co-Chairman of ACCC10 gave the opening speech.

Prof. Dr. Dang Ngoc Quang – Head of the Chemistry Department, Hanoi National University of Education – emphasized that ACCC10 is an important event not only for Vietnamese scientists but also for international researchers in the field of Coordination Chemistry. This year, the conference had 583 delegates from 24 countries attending.

In particular, the conference had the presence of Professor Konstantin Novoselov - Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry in 2010 - with a special lecture on the morning of October 25. Within the framework of the conference, there were 6 plenary lectures, 4 academic lectures, 77 main lectures, 139 invited lectures, 67 oral presentations, 30 flash presentations and 150 poster presentations.

International experts spoke at the conference.

“We hope the conference is a valuable opportunity for scientists and students to share ideas, discuss the latest research, and strengthen cooperation in the field of Coordination Chemistry. Marking the 10th conference, ACCC10 is a special milestone with the participation of famous speakers and in-depth discussions on trends and innovations in Coordination Chemistry” - Prof. Dr. Dang Ngoc Quang emphasized.
