This year's conference was hosted by the Trade Union Standing Committee of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (VNU).The conference focused on discussing two main issues through two discussion programs: "Regulations on Office Culture in Universities" and "Improving the qualifications of female cadres and civil servants in universities". Attending the conference were Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Kim Dinh (Standing Member of the Vietnam Education Trade Union, Chairman of the Trade Union of VNU), Dr. Nguyen Xuan Hung (Chairman of the Trade Union of Danang University) and representatives of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, the Board of Directors of 5 universities: Hanoi University of Science and Technology, National Economics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Construction. The conference listened to reports and comments from 5 universities on the development of Regulations on Office Culture and the issue of improving the professional qualifications of female cadres and civil servants in universities. The comments focused on reflecting the current situation of office culture and the work of improving the qualifications of female cadres and civil servants in their universities. The recommendations and feasible solutions proposed by the delegates are a useful reference for universities to study and apply to their actual situation. The conference emphasized that the development of "Corporate Culture Regulations in Universities" is an urgent task for each university in the current period. Along with the development and implementation of discipline and cultural standards in universities, the work of improving the qualifications of female cadres and civil servants in universities needs to be given more attention through specific policies and measures of the Party Committee, Board of Directors, and Executive Board of Trade Unions of universities. With nearly 20 articles and comments, the conference suggested new thematic activities, deepening the understanding of specific contents in the development of Correspondence on Corporate Culture as well as improving the professional qualifications of female cadres and civil servants in universities. This is the initial basis for the Standing Committee of the 5-School Trade Union to continue to discuss and find the most effective measures to modernize the working environment and improve the qualifications of female staff, contributing to enhancing the prestige and position of each school. Speaking at the Conference, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Khanh - Party Secretary, Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities emphasized: The contents of the Conference are all basic and urgent issues in the process of building and developing each university. The 5-School Trade Union needs to focus on investing more deeply to build a complete document regulating school culture so that it can be applied in all universities in Vietnam. These regulations need to clarify the requirements on cultural behavior in universities; on order, discipline, and working order; especially emphasizing the culture of work quality in universities. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Khanh affirmed that the training and improvement of the quality of female cadres and civil servants in the University also needs to have more specific and practical measures and regulations. The Professor hopes that, with the long tradition of the Trade Union Cluster of 5 key universities, the Trade Union Standing Committee of the Universities will continue to research and discuss to make truly effective proposals and recommendations, advising the Party and government leaders of the 5 Universities in the process of building and implementing the school development strategy in the present and the future. At the end of the Conference, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dang Xuan Khang - Chairman of the Trade Union of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities respectfully transferred the right to host the 24th Conference to the Trade Union Standing Committee of the University of Natural Sciences.
