Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Minh attended the ENHANCE conference

This is an activity under the Project on Enhancing Innovation and Research Capacity in Vietnam (ENHANCE) in which the University of Social Sciences and Humanities is a participating member unit.

These two academic events aim to create a discussion forum between university leaders and businesses to propose better policies for start-up models. The conference introduces typical successful studies, start-up models in European countries, learns about the advantages and difficulties of creating start-up models, solutions to connect universities and businesses, and support from universities for start-up models.

This is also an opportunity for domestic and foreign delegates to exchange ideas to enhance scientific research capacity, technology transfer linked with businesses and create a premise for students' start-up ideas.

Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Minh (Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities) and MSc. Luong Ngoc Vinh (Deputy Head of the Department of Cooperation and Development) took a souvenir photo with delegates from various countries at the seminar.

Representatives of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities presented the report "Research Evaluation at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU" at the workshop.
