Dignitaries present at the anniversary included Assoc. Prof. L芒m Quang Vinh, Director of the VNUHCM-Science and Technology Department; Assoc. Prof. Tr岷 Cao Vinh, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the University Council; and Assoc. Prof. Tr岷 Minh Tri岷縯, Vice President of VNUHCM-University of Science. Also in attendance were the faculty’s teaching staff, leaders of member units within VNUHCM-US, former university and Faculty of Materials Science and Technology leaders, as well as members of the Board of Directors of the University, along with leaders from other universities, institutes, and partner enterprises of the Faculty.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary, sports activities such as badminton, football, and running were organised. More than 300 participants, including students, alumni, officials, and representatives from various enterprises, took part. These activities aimed to promote physical exercise, foster connections, and create an exciting atmosphere leading up to the official anniversary celebration.

During the ceremony, generations of alumni reunited to listen to teachers and fellow graduates share their experiences and to reflect on the 20-year journey of the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology. Despite many challenges, the Faculty had achieved outstanding accomplishments in education and scientific research, making a significant contribution to its development at VNUHCM-University of Science and 水果派AV解说 National University Ho Chi Minh City. This occasion also provided the Faculty with an opportunity to express gratitude to the teachers and businesses that had supported it over the years. Additionally, eleven scholarships under the “Study Promotion鈥擳alent Promotion” programme were awarded to students with excellent academic performance and challenging family circumstances, aimed at supporting and motivating them in their future studies.

The event unfolded in a warm, sincere, and emotional atmosphere. Alumni felt as though they were returning to their shared roots, determined to excel in “Connect to Shine” and further spread the spirit of materials science and technology to future generations.

The C-100 Club is a non-profit organisation established voluntarily by entrepreneurial university alumni. The club initially consists of 100 members and is expected to expand further. Bringing together accomplished entrepreneurs from diverse fields, many of whom currently occupy pivotal roles in corporations and companies.

The Interim Representative Board of SAC emphasised that the C-100 Club would play a crucial role in spearheading and guiding the activities of the Alumni Community.

The SAC will hold its first congress on November 19th to elect the Representative Board. The alumni community’s role is to contribute to building the educational brand of ‘VNUHCM-University of Science’ and to engage in practical activities that benefit the entire alumni community, students, and the university. To support the strategy of “self-reliance” in a long-term, sustainable manner, focusing on human resource training and research results that bring specific value to the community and society.

The Interim Representative Board and the entire university are eager to connect with more generations of SAC interested in contributing to the community.

The seminar drew more than 30 attendees, including delegates from universities, ecology experts, and department managers. The provided datasets formed the basis for analysing forest structure and vegetative recovery following storm events, including examining the response of dominant species populations and sediment nutritional efficiency during natural recovery and ecological succession. Additionally, these data were used for constructing models to replicate the natural regeneration process of forests and for predicting ecosystem changes based on climate change and ecological risk scenarios. Furthermore, the data aided in creating maps of affected areas damaged by storms, such as Durian huricane and assessed the overall impact on the ecosystem. The results indicated that maintaining the research area for natural regeneration has increased the ecosystem’s biodiversity and improved its overall quality and health. The seminar concluded with discussions on natural restoration directions and proposed environmental solutions for the Can Gio mangrove forest ecosystem in particular and the country in general under the influence of climate change.

During the ceremony, the organising committee decided to confer awards on 45 entries, which included four first prizes, eight second prizes, 14 third prizes, and 19 consolation prizes.

Associate Professor Tr岷 V膬n Hi岷縰 and his team were awarded the Consolation Prize for their project, “Research on developing a test strip to rapidly detect two toxins, ToxA and ToxB, of Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria, which cause acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in farmed shrimp in the Southwest region.”

The project contributed to the creation of the world鈥檚 first test strip capable of detecting two toxins, ToxA and ToxB, responsible for causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis (AHPND) due to Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The study also sought to determine the prevalence of AHPND disease caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus in prawn farming in the Southwest region. This test strip operates on an antigen-antibody interaction-based method. When ToxA and ToxB toxins are present, they elicit an immune response, leading to the production of specific antibodies against the toxins. This principle enables the test strip to be customised for detecting other diseases by altering the type of antibody used. Consequently, the test strips and the technology behind them possess significant potential for application. Currently, as there are no test strips for AHPND caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus available globally or in 水果派AV解说, the socio-economic impact of the research results could be substantial. Moreover, early diagnosis in farm ponds assists farmers in taking proactive measures to prevent and treat diseases promptly, thereby effectively contributing to the economic development of farming households and local communities.

Professor Phan Th脿nh Nam was the first Vietnamese recipient of the European Mathematical Prize in 2020. From 17th to 18th October, he delivered a lecture on “Semiclassical Approximation for Schr枚dinger Operators,” attended by over 80 students both in person and online. With his engaging, open, and interactive approach, he made this challenging topic more accessible to students passionate about mathematics.

During this event, he also conversed with the lecturers of the Faculty about various issues, including the teaching of University Mathematics in Germany, opportunities for collaboration with Faculty lecturers to teach an official module (with credits), and plans for co-instruction with Faculty lecturers in the near future.

At the event, he shared insights gained from Professor D瓢啤ng Minh 膼峄ヽ: “You must attempt to prove the available theorems yourself; 99% of you will likely struggle. When you cannot prove a theorem, you will begin to understand where the difficulties lie. By isolating these challenging points, you can identify the new aspects that differentiate this theorem from previously established ones. Once you recognise the tough points and subsequently read the proof, you will grasp the new techniques involved in the theorem. Studying in this manner allows you to see that there are very few techniques in mathematics that are frequently applied; new techniques are rare. This approach enhances your comprehension of the underlying ideas. The more you study, the less memorisation is necessary because the concepts are interconnected.”

Through his practical experiences, Professor Nam instilled confidence and great motivation in the students, encouraging them to pursue their chosen paths with determination.

Additionally, he elaborated on other thoughts: “The foundational Mathematics you have studied at the Faculty is sufficient for you to continue your studies in Mathematics abroad. The Talented Bachelor Programme at the Faculty is one of the most successful programmes, producing many outstanding students each year. The French-Vietnamese Master of Applied Mathematics programme is highly regarded; students can obtain a Master’s degree awarded by a French university, which is recognised throughout Europe, in just one year. With this qualification, students can easily apply for doctoral scholarships at universities in Europe, alongside scholarships offered by French institutions.”

Finally, the Professor reminded his junior colleagues, “The most important qualities in research and advanced study are stubbornness, persistence, and a willingness to face failure frequently. However, it is essential to maintain composure to achieve success.”
