His research also won the 1st prize in the UEB’s Conference of Student Scientific Research and the VNU’s Excellent Student Scientific Research. Quyen said: “I intended to conduct this research since the beginning of the 3rd year. However, due to some difficulties, both subjectively and objectively, until my 4th year, when I felt the raise in my knowledge together with other favorable conditions, I determined to conduct the research.”

In general, CLC is really a dynamic, positive and encouraging environment for students.”
