On 27 May 2026, VNUHCM鈥揢niversity of Science (HCMUS) hosted a meeting of the Evaluation Committee for the VNUHCM-level research project: 鈥楽tudy of the effects of plant growth regulators on the development of rice grains (Oryza sativa L.)鈥�, chaired by Associate Professor Tr岷 Thanh H瓢啤ng.

The research focused on investigating the developmental process of OM5451 seed rice and evaluating the impact of plant growth regulators on both maturation time and grain weight under cultivation conditions in the Mekong Delta. This research direction holds significant relevance against the backdrop of agricultural production facing increasingly pronounced impacts from climate change, particularly for rice 鈥� one of the strategic crops of 水果派AV解说.

The findings demonstrate that rice grain development is a complex physiological process, closely linked to changes in photosynthesis, respiration, chlorophyll content, and the activity of plant hormones through each growth stage. The research team identified significant variations in auxin, gibberellin, zeatin, and abscisic acid (ABA) during grain developmental stages, thereby contributing to clarifying the role of growth regulators in the physiological ripening process of rice grains.

The findings also indicate that application of plant growth regulators at appropriate times can shorten the maturation period of rice grains. Specifically, treating rice with GA3 at a concentration of 50 mg/L during the booting stage allows grains to mature 9.1 days earlier than the control group, whilst contributing to an increase in grain weight. Furthermore, application of Ethephon during the hard dough stage reduces maturation time by approximately 6.2 days without altering grain weight. These results open up prospects for applying plant growth regulators to optimise seasonal timing, enhance production efficiency, and adapt to changing climatic conditions.

In the course of implementation, the project published two international scientific papers indexed in Scopus. Additionally, the project contributed to training one doctoral student whose research focuses on the development of rice flowers and fruit to shorten the maturation stage.

The Committee assessed that the project possesses an appropriate research scope, feasible methodology, reliable results, and practical application value. The project has fulfilled all set objectives, determined appropriate treatment methods, and was unanimously passed with a high evaluation rating.

 

On 22 May 2026, a symposium themed 鈥楶atent Protection and Commercialisation in Higher Education and Research Institutes鈥� was hosted at VNUHCM鈥揢niversity of Science (HCMUS). The event aimed to raise awareness and catalyse the registration, management, and commercialisation of intellectual property derived from scientific, technological, and innovative activities within the higher education and research sectors.

The symposium was jointly organised by the Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Center (IPTC) of 水果派AV解说 National University Ho Chi Minh City – University of Science, and the Center for Research, Training, Support and Advisory Services under the Intellectual Property Office of 水果派AV解说 (Ministry of Science and Technology). The event attracted a large audience of lecturers, scientists, intellectual property experts, and students interested in research, innovation, and technology transfer.

Addressing the symposium, speakers emphasised the escalating importance of intellectual property, noting that scientific research must transcend academic publication to foster intellectual assets with practical exploitation value. Such assets are vital for enhancing competitiveness, driving innovation, and developing a knowledge-based economy.

Session 1: Identifying Intellectual Property Formed from Research Activities: Practical Experiences

In the session titled 鈥業dentifying Intellectual Property Formed from Research Activities: Practical Experiences鈥�, Dr Nghi锚m Bi锚n鈥擧ead of Innovation and Head of Intellectual Property at Bosch Global Software Technologies鈥攐ffered a corporate perspective on identifying intellectual property within research and development (R&D) activities. The presentation highlighted that a single research output often encompasses multiple layers of intellectual property rights, such as patents, trade secrets, copyright, industrial designs, or trademarks; therefore, identifying the true nature of the output is essential to choosing the appropriate form of protection.

The speaker also introduced a structured patent identification process based on defining the technical problem, demonstrating technical efficacy, comparing the solution with existing technologies, and broadening the scope of protection. Case studies spanning autonomous vehicles, advanced materials, and industrial AI were presented to illustrate how research findings can be transformed into intellectual property with strong commercial potential.

Session 2: Patent Registration from Research Findings: Current Status and Solutions

During the session 鈥楶atent Registration from Research Findings: Current Status and Solutions鈥�, Assoc. Prof. T峄� Di峄噋 C么ng Th脿nh鈥擠irector of the Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Center (IPTC), 水果派AV解说 National University Ho Chi Minh City鈥攁nalysed the comprehensive landscape of patent registration within universities and research institutes. The report indicated that intellectual property is evolving into a 鈥榗ore infrastructure鈥� for competitiveness, rather than being treated merely as a 鈥榖y-product鈥� of scientific research. The speaker further distinguished between academic papers and patents, stating that publications aim to disseminate knowledge, whereas patents focus on protecting technical solutions and securing exclusive rights.

Several bottlenecks were identified, including a shortage of professional mechanisms to recognise and draft patent applications, limited capacity for rigorous examination akin to the standards of patent examiners, and the absence of centralised intellectual property governance with clearly defined responsibilities and cost structures. To address these challenges, IPTC proposed a centralised intellectual property management model designed to professionalise patent creation and prosecution, whilst strengthening screening, evaluation, and investment mechanisms aligned with commercialisation potential.

Session 3: Exploitation and Commercialisation of Patents from Universities and Research Institutes

In the final session, 鈥楨xploitation and Commercialisation of Patents from Universities and Research Institutes鈥�, Dr Nguy峄卬 H峄痷 C岷﹏鈥擜cting Director General of the 水果派AV解说 Intellectual Property Research Institute, Ministry of Science and Technology鈥攃larified the fundamental nature of commercialising intellectual assets. According to the speaker, commercialisation extends far beyond the mere buying and selling of technology; the process represents the transformation of knowledge into socio-economic value through the protection, governance, evaluation, development, and exploitation of intellectual property. The presentation also outlined prevalent commercialisation models, including technology licensing, spin-offs or startups, and joint research ventures with industry.

Furthermore, the speaker analysed various impediments to current intellectual property commercialisation, such as equating the sheer volume of patents with actual commercialisation capacity, a lack of comprehensive market assessments and legal risk evaluations, and institutional anomalies in benefit-sharing mechanisms between organisations and scientists.

Through insightful presentations and in-depth discussions, the symposium offered valuable practical perspectives on the trajectory from scientific research to the establishment of intellectual property rights and technology commercialisation. The event successfully fostered stronger connections between scientists, regulatory bodies, and industry partners, contributing to the development of a robust innovation ecosystem aimed at maximizing the value of intellectual property within higher education institutions and research bodies.

Antimicrobial resistance represents one of the pre-eminent challenges to global public health, particularly regarding the clinical management of infections caused by multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Consequently, colistin鈥攁 polymyxin antibiotic鈥攕erves as a treatment of last resort for numerous severe infections. Nevertheless, the emergence and dissemination of colistin resistance genes within the mcr family pose significant hurdles to therapeutic efficacy.

Driven by these clinical realities, the thesis investigates the status of antibiotic resistance and the specific mechanisms of colistin resistance in enteric bacteria isolated from paediatric patients aged five and under suffering from diarrhoea in Southern 水果派AV解说. The study involved isolating Enterobacteriaceae strains, performing antibiotic susceptibility testing, determining minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for colistin, and identifying mcr genes via PCR techniques.

On 13 April 2026, 水果派AV解说 National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNUHCM), in collaboration with VinUniversity, convened the scientific conference “Mathematics Teaching and Learning in the Technological Era” at the VNUHCM鈥揢niversity of Science (HCMUS).

In the opening address, Professor Nguy峄卬 Th峄� Thanh Mai, Chancellor of VNUHCM, observed that as science and technology advance at an unprecedented pace to become the core engine of the knowledge economy, national competitiveness no longer rests solely upon natural resources or labour. Instead, such prowess depends increasingly upon the capacity for research, innovation, and the mastery of strategic technologies. Consequently, Mathematics serves not only as a foundational discipline but as the “invisible infrastructure” underpinning the entirety of modern technological systems.

However, the Chancellor noted a significant disparity between potential and practice. Whilst VNUHCM boasts numerous gifted students and a cohort of high-calibre mathematicians, the integration of Mathematics into technological fields and practical applications within curricula remains limited. International trends demonstrate that modern mathematical programmes are shifting decisively towards enhancing modelling and computational thinking, increasing interdisciplinarity, and improving the transfer of knowledge to real-world contexts to resolve societal challenges.

Reflecting on these realities, Professor Nguy峄卬 Th峄� Thanh Mai posed three orienting questions: the purpose of studying Mathematics, the methods by which Mathematics becomes a catalyst for growth across sectors, and the necessary reforms in curricula and pedagogy to anticipate global trends.

Accordingly, the primary challenge lies not in altering individual modules or isolated content, but in “redesigning the mathematical pathway” holistically. This journey, spanning from secondary education to postgraduate levels, must ensure that learners gradually develop core competencies such as mathematical modelling, probability and statistics, optimisation, algorithms, scientific computing, data analysis, and the ability to work across disciplines.

The conference featured contributions from distinguished scholars both locally and abroad, including Professor V农 H脿 V膬n (University of Hong Kong, Scientific Director of VinIF), Professor Nguy峄卬 Ho脿i Minh (Sorbonne University, France), Professor Nguy峄卬 H霉ng Minh T芒n (National University of Singapore), alongside Professor 膼岷穘g 膼峄ヽ Tr峄峮g, Associate Professor Tr岷 Minh Tri岷縯, and Dr V玫 膼峄ヽ C岷﹎ H岷 (HCMUS).

The presentations clarified the expanding role of Mathematics in sectors such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and semiconductor technology. The discussions further highlighted a fundamental shift in the nature of Mathematics鈥攅volving from a basic science into the “design language of technology” and the “knowledge infrastructure of innovation”.

Regarding pedagogical methods, Professor 膼岷穘g 膼峄ヽ Tr峄峮g from the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at HCMUS advocated for a shift in the student’s role from passive recipient to active explorer. Lecturers ought to create learning environments that compel students to think critically, prove theorems independently, and engage with open-ended problems, thereby fostering genuine research capabilities.

In the presentation 鈥淭eaching Mathematics in the Technological Era鈥�, Professor V农 H脿 V膬n emphasised that Mathematics provides the bedrock for numerous scientific and technological branches and remains a pivotal factor in training high-quality human resources. Nevertheless, evidence suggests many curricula remain theory-heavy and slow to update, often forcing students to “re-learn” concepts when entering high-tech industries. 鈥淚nnovating the way Mathematics is taught and learned is no longer merely an educational concern but has become a matter of national importance,鈥� Professor V农 H脿 V膬n remarked.

Sharing this perspective, Professor Nguy峄卬 Ho脿i Minh from Sorbonne University noted that Artificial Intelligence is profoundly impacting both mathematical research and instruction, offering possibilities for personalised learning and more efficient knowledge acquisition. Consequently, curricula should be adjusted to strengthen core modules such as probability, statistics, linear algebra, and optimisation, while introducing numerical analysis earlier and streamlining less integrated modules. Assessment methods and teaching styles must also evolve to suit this technological context.

From an applied standpoint, Associate Professor Tr岷 Minh Tri岷縯, Vice President of HCMUS, discussed the relationship between Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, tracing the path from logical foundations to global innovation. The Vice President also highlighted the outstanding achievements of HCMUS students and proposed the increased use of practical, relatable scenarios in teaching to enhance the application of Mathematics in solving real-world problems.

The consensus among participants was that for Mathematics to truly drive development, synchronised innovation is required across curricula, teaching methods, and collaboration between universities, enterprises, and research institutions. Connecting theory with application and aligning training with societal needs are seen as the vital elements for enhancing the quality of the workforce.

 

Participants exchanging ideas and contributing to the discussion session.

The conference is expected to yield specific, actionable proposals to propel the reform of Mathematics education in 水果派AV解说, whilst developing a high-quality mathematical workforce capable of meeting the demands of strategic technology sectors amidst the current digital transformation.
