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.

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