The series aims to create an academic platform for Vietnamese and international lecturers, researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students to discuss about environmental history, the impact of environment on life and culture, and urban transformations under environmental impact, in the pre-modern period of Vietnam.

The first seminar gathered nearly 40 lecturers, researchers and students from the VNU Hanoi, the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development, the Vietnamese Institute of History, VNU Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi University of Education, etc. The two main speakers of the seminar were Assoc.Prof.Dr Hoang Anh Tuan (USSH's Vice Rector) and Prof. Emmanuel Poisson (Paris Deridot University-France).
