The Organising Committee of the Viet Nam – Japan Academic Forum is pleased to announce that the forum’s official website, vj-academicforum.org, and Facebook page, facebook.com/VJAcademicForum, are now live.
They will be the forum’s official channels for Vietnamese researchers, doctoral and university students in Japan, and for Japanese academics, researchers and companies interested in academic cooperation between the two countries.
Why the forum has its own website
The forum is planned as an annual event. Each edition takes one theme, with research presentations and an open panel discussion, aiming to move from cooperation agreements to education and research projects with real results.
The website will:
- Give complete, accurate information on each edition: theme, programme, speakers, and how to register and attend.
- Serve readers in Vietnamese, Japanese and English.
- Keep a record of every edition, with slides, photos, video and a summary, as groundwork for the next.
- Introduce the organisers, partners and sponsors who support the forum.
The Facebook page carries quick announcements and photos; the website holds the official, long-term information.

- Date: Sunday afternoon, 6 December 2026
