In collaboration with Horiba
Jobin-Yvon, the Ecole Centrale de Paris and the Ministère de l’Enseignement
Supérieur et de la Recherche, all from France, DTU held the “International Conference on Spectroscopy and Applications”.
The meeting enabled national and foreign scientists to exchange ideas and
promote cooperation between them. More than twenty professors from France,
Japan, India, Germany, the U.S, China, Russia, Italy, Korea and fifty
Vietnamese researchers participated in the event. Their objective was to
enhance the practical applications of Spectroscopy for use in our daily lives.
Dr. Vo Duy Khuong delivers a speech at the
Conference
Dr. Vo Duy Khuong, Standing Vice-Chairman
of the Danang People’s Committee, welcomed participants and spoke highly of the
remarkable achievements of DTU over the years. He said: ”Danang is the center of the economy, culture, education, science and
technology in the Central Region of Vietnam. Recently, Danang has given top
priority to developing the study of Science and Technology, including Material Sciences.
The local government has constructed the Danang Hi-Tech Park to attract worldwide
investment to boost the local economy. Duy
Tan University has become a key provider of highly-qualified human resources
for local business. The university has been conducting a much research in
various fields, including Spectroscopy, which is appropriate to the
development strategy of the city. I
highly appreciate what DTU has achieved and commit to supporting DTU in the
future. This event has created an excellent opportunity for scientists to
exchange ideas and discuss current research activities into Spectroscopy. Hopefully, the findings of this conference
can be applied to the research taking place at the Danang Hi-Tech Park in the
near future.”
A large number of scientists, both national
and international, attend the Conference
Strengthening international
collaboration and promoting research in science and technology is a strategy
that DTU has recently implemented. Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co, DTU
Provost and President, said: ”This conference is a get-together for the world’s
leading scientists of
Spectroscopy to review the importance and
effectiveness of previous research as well as to put forward sustainable
strategies to promote future Spectroscopy
research. I hope that you will provide us with the latest information to assist
in the development of education at DTU even further. As well as the academic
importance of our meeting, the International Conference on Spectroscopy and Applications
also strongly supports the enhancement of education and research at DTU. I hope
this conference will mark a turning-point for DTU as we strive to achieve more
and more in education and research in celebration of our twentieth anniversary.”
The four-day International Conference on
Spectroscopy and Applications was an opportunity for scientists to discuss and
exchange research findings in the field of Spectroscopy, including Spectroscopy
in Nanomaterials, Quantum Information, Spectroscopy in Biosciences,
Spectroscopy in Pharmaceuticals, Spectroscopy applied to the Environment,
Spectroscopy applied to Archeology, Thermoluminescence and Dosimetry
Technology, Chemometrics and new developments in Optical Instrumentation. The meeting
was also an opportunity for postgraduate students of Spectroscopy Physics to learn
about this specialized topic.
Professor Dr. Masayuki Nogami of the Nagoya Institute of
Technology in Japan, who has made significant
contributions to Spectroscopy research, expressed his appreciation
to DTU for organizing the international conference, because of the increasing
impact that Spectroscopy research will have in our daily lives. ”The importance
of this conference is significant and has created a vital connection between
Vienamese scientists and the international scientific community. The conference
has also provided young Vietnamese scientists with a great opportunity to
exchange new ideas and state-of-the-art research information with the world’s
leading scientists. I am happy that the academic papers presented at the
conference are of such high quality and focus on practical applications. At the
moment, I am cooperating with the DTU Center for Research and Development to
conduct two important pieces of research in Spectroscopy and Material Science. Hopefully, the results
of this collaborative project will significantly contribute to improving the
quality of education and research at DTU”, said Dr. Nogami.
At
its conclusion, the conference had provided a forum for future collaboration in
education and research, so that DTU will now be able to successfully promote its
own research into Spectroscopy and many other new fields.
The conference will allow DTU to practically reach its goal of linking research
with experimentation, making use of the applications of Spectroscopy
to improve the standard of living as well as to boost the development of our economy
in the modern age.
