Since 1993 the Rencontres du Vietnam , which is an official partner of UNESCO, has organised international scientific conferences and schools to foster exchanges between Vietnamese or Asia-Pacific scientists and colleagues from other parts of the world.
The construction of the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE) in the city of Quy Nhon (Central Vietnam) will have the ambitious objective to focus on developing Science and Education, helping young Asian students and scientists to meet with the International Science community, bringing the opportunity to accelerate their knowledge from attending lectures and sharing ideas with overseas high-level counterparts.
VIIth Rencontres du Vietnam
Xth International Conference on Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology
December 17 – 22, 2011, Quy Nhon, Vietnam
ICGAC10 is part of a series of biennial conferences on Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology which take place in Asia-Pacific with the goal to favour cooperations among the member countries and within an international context, to promote high level studies on hot topics and to encourage young physicists on these fields. The first meeting was initiated by Prof. Yong Min Cho, one of the founders of the APCTP at SNU in 1993.
