Dr. Nguyen Phuoc The, Dean of Natural Science, said: “This year's contest was greatly improved, but required much more preparation time for competitors to do well. The DTU team’s performance was impressive however. The Olympics is a great opportunity to discover and promote talented, young Vietnamese Physicists. At the same time, they can meet and exchange ideas and experiences. The contest also includes practical study tours and research application seminars to broaden their perspective for future research projects."
