Lam Dong (VNA)꧂ – Developing human resources in the field of nuclear power lies at the heart of an international workshop held in Da Lat, the Central Highland province of Lam Dong on February 22.
The event was jointly organsied by Da Lat University, the Republic of Korea’s Hanyang University, the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), and the Korean Nuclear Society (KNS).
Managers and experts from the host, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and Malaysia exchanged experience and proposed proper solutions to human resources development in atomic energy in separate countries, thus increasing their mutual understanding and cooperation.
Da Lat University is one of three universities in Vietnam that are entrusted to provide in-depth training in the field. So far, it has opened four training courses with 150 students, including 35 sent abroad.
Human resources constitutes one of the fundamental and decisive factors to the success of nuclear power development programmes in any country, experts said.
Building capacity shapes a significant initial step to develop high-quality personnel and ensure safe, sustainable and secure nuclear programmes, they added.
With over 40 years of experience in the field, the KAERI and KNS pledged to help Vietnam with nuclear equipment and human resources development, Professor Kim Jong-kyung said.
Hanyang University along with the KAERI and KHN have also provided numerous peices of equipment, including a third-generation core nuclear reactor simulator, for Da Lat Unviersity.
Such activities will continue until 2020, the professor said.-VNA
From May 2014, the Hanyang University (HYU) of the Republic of Korea (RoK) will send its top experts to Vietnam to train Vietnamese nuclear power personnel, starting at Da Lat University in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong.
Da Lat University in Central Highlands Lam Dong province will receive simulated equipment for nuclear education donated by the Republic of Korea (RoK) later this month.
The Republic of Korea’s institute of quality testing and research handed over a set of scientific equipment for Da Lat University in the Central Highland province of Lam Dong on December 28.
Vietnam has issued a host of legal documents on atomic energy in order to create a legal corridor for the safe and efficient development of nuclear power.
As Vietnam’s digital transformation accelerates, both the frequency and severity of cyberattacks are growing. The National Cybersecurity Association (NCA) reported that in 2024 alone, there were some 659,000 separate cybersecurity incidents, impacting around 46.15% of government agencies and businesses.
A key highlight will be the technology cluster pavilion, showcasing top enterprises selected for their innovation, market potential, and practical applications. These firms will display flagship products and solutions, supported by government policies to strengthen the tech sector.
Since 2022, more than 500 Vietnamese startups have engaged in Google’s Startup Academy, Google for Startups Accelerator, and Google Startup Masterclass. Nearly 100 of these firms received support to develop and improve their products, benefiting more than 300,000 customers and creating over 300 new jobs through successful fundraising and team expansion amidst Vietnam’s competitive economy.
Over the past three decades, Binh Duong has cemented its status as one of Vietnam’s most dynamic industrial hubs, building a robust foundation in manufacturing, exports, and investment. The province now has 30 operational industrial parks spanning over 13,000 hectares, with an occupancy rate exceeding 90%.
The diplomat emphasised that Vietnam places the highest priority on the development of science, technology, and innovation, viewing them as critical drivers for the country’s advancement in the new development era.
The PM revealed Vietnam’s plan to develop nuclear power in the near future, and called on the Swedish side to assist Vietnam in developing and refining legal and policy frameworks for the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes; training and developing human resources; ensuring nuclear safety; and conducting training and drills to improve incident management capabilities.
More than an art showcase, the second “Technology with heart” contest seeks to inspire innovation and spotlight the humanistic values that technology can bring into daily life, expected to contribute to a sustainable digital future.
The average speed of the national mobile broadband network remained stable, with download speeds reaching 76.86 Mbps and upload speeds reaching 26.98 Mbps.
Under the MoU, AMD will support several key initiatives spearheaded by HCM City’s authorities, including piloting policies, co-hosting innovation events, and evaluating the investment environment within the Saigon Hi-Tech Park.
The centre is a joint initiative between Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology, with PTIT and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) serving as co-leads, and global telecommunications giant Nokia as founding industry partner.
The new centre, staffed by a team of scientists, researchers, and AI specialists working in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, forms part of Qualcomm’s global AI research group.
As a flagship initiative of the community project “Digital Literacy for All”, the programme forms part of a national scheme to equip 20 million young people with digital business skills.
The organisers hope the competition will help shape a generation of exceptional engineers who will make significant contributions to Vietnam’s scientific and technological progress in this era of transformation.
In the digital age and amidst the Fourth Industrial Revolution, IP plays an increasingly critical role, not only in safeguarding inventions but also in reducing copyright infringement and curbing piracy.
Ambassador Nguyen Minh Vu laid stress on the significance of the Hanoi Convention, particularly to the Asia – Pacific, to handling legal gaps in international cooperation against rapidly increasing global cybercrime.
The week features a rich lineup of activities, including a plenary conference on blockchain and AI development, thematic seminars on future technology trends and investment visions, applications of blockchain and AI in business, the Super Vietnam PitchFest, as well as forums for blockchain and AI.
According to the Politburo’s Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, dated December 22, 2024, on making breakthroughs in the development of science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, this is considered a decisive factor in the development of nations. It is seen as a prerequisite and the best opportunity for Vietnam to become prosperous and powerful in the new era of the nation’s rise.
Vietnam’s demographic advantage, including a youthful population of 100 million in a “golden age”, further bolsters its ambitions. Its dynamic workforce, with a natural inclination toward science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), is a key asset in attracting private investment to innovation-driven sectors.
