The 2022 Investment Promotion Conference provides a platform for domestic and international businesses and entrepreneurs interested in education, training, and science and technology to promote investment in the development of a national-level university urban area, approaching international standards. Simultaneously, the conference showcases the potential and scientific and technological products of Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU), key products of businesses, and strengths of localities, thereby fostering opportunities for cooperation and investment promotion linked to the transfer of science and technology between businesses and localities that are partners of VNU and universities/research institutes. In addition to one plenary session and five parallel thematic conference sessions held in the newly constructed HT1 and HT2 buildings, an outdoor exhibition of the potential and achievements in science and technology of all member universities, faculties, institutes, and centers will also take place.

Participating in this important event, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities contributed four booths with the theme: "Modern Humanism and Integration on the Foundation of Tradition," including a space on Vietnamese History and Culture, a space on scientific research achievements, and a space for international cultural exchange (Japanese Tea Ceremony). Rich in humanistic and traditional values, yet modern, creative, and keeping pace with trends, these are the outstanding features of the products that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities brought to the exhibition and introduced at the Conference. The interesting and captivating "humanistic" appeal dispelled the winter chill and attracted a large number of young people and visitors to its booths.

Participating in the experiential event were members of the club, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phan Hai Linh (former Head of the Japanese Studies Department, Head of the Urasenke Tea Ceremony Club at USSH), Dr. Pham Hoang Hung (Head of the Cooperation and Development Department, lecturer in the Japanese Studies Department), and with the support of Ms. Kodama and Ms. Fujinami Miyako (Representatives of the Urasenke Hanoi Club).
 

The Urasenke Tea Ceremony Club of USSH is a tea ceremony club following the Urasenke school of Japanese tea ceremony, affiliated with the Department of Japanese Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Social Sciences and Humanities. The club is a place where students can practice and experience the "tea ceremony" - one of the traditional cultural aspects of Japan.

Attending the event also provided an opportunity for the Japanese Studies department of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and members of the Tea Ceremony Club to introduce traditional Japanese culture to Vietnamese guests, while also promoting the unique strengths of Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities, which closely integrate training and scientific research, experience, practice, and real-world application.
