This is the first time a summer camp has been organized exclusively for female participants, all of whom are dynamic young women passionate about research and project activities related to development. This SETY summer camp is a camp of ideas and action, contributing to promoting the role of women in research and projects on socio-ecological transformation in Vietnam in the near future.
In his opening remarks at the summer camp, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dao Thanh Truong stated that from the initial sharing of the idea and receiving support from Mr. Philip Degenhartd and the RLS SEA Foundation in signing the project agreement, the project has built a dedicated website for the summer camp activities. The fanpage communication activities have spread the SETY spirit to over 1000 visitors, with 2344 interactions. Information about the summer camp has also been disseminated to lecturers, students, and trainees of VNU by VSL (Vietnam National University, Hanoi Scientists Club) and the VNU Scholarship channel. The SETY journey has many more prospects and can continue with many more meaningful and practical activities for Vietnamese youth.
