Participants discuss at the conference

Speaking at the conference, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Hong Son said: Vietnam’s economic development almost relies on raw resources, low technology qualification, low-cost workforce... which left many consequences such as: resource depletion and environmental pollution. Therefore, the issues of sustainable manufacturing and environmental management should be paid a particular attention. This conference is a forum to discuss the most effective solutions and methods to ensure a sustainable economic development and effective environmental management.

Thereby it would enhance the research capacity of UEB staff and faculties, giving them the best research methods, strengthening international cooperation, encouraging the training and other practical activities.

Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Hong Son affirmed that: the University of Economics and Business in particular and Vietnam National University in general have been striving for a favorable environment for scientists to come to discuss and create.

 

Participates take a common picture at the conference

The JSPS Asian Core Program is designed to create world-class research hubs in selected fields within the Asian region, while fostering the next generation of leading researchers. It does this by establishing sustainable collaborative relations among research/education institutions in Japan and other Asian countries. Under the program, these “core institutions” will collaborate in cutting-edge fields of research and on research topics deemed to be of high international importance.  In 2011, the VNU University of Economics and Business officially joined the program and hosted the conference in 2012. The results of this study will form a basis for development of greener, environmentally friendly and sustainable manufacturing.
