About the forum
Held every year, the forum brings Vietnamese researchers in Japan and the Japanese academic community together to review what has been achieved and to plan what can be done next, together.
It connects researchers, lecturers, students, universities, research institutes and companies from both countries. Each edition takes one theme, with research presentations and an open panel discussion.
The aim is to move from cooperation agreements to education and research projects with real results, and to keep a record of every edition as groundwork for the next.
