Overview
Founded in 1993 by Jean Tran Thanh Van, the association Rencontres du Vietnam, a non-profit organization and an official partner of UNESCO, has as its objective the promotion of international exchanges between Vietnam and the international community, particularly in the areas of science and education. It also aims at the encouragement and integration of Vietnamese scientists into the international scientific community and at supporting the role of education and science by encouraging scientific awareness and stimulating passion for science in the younger generation. The Rencontres du Vietnam lies within the scope of two series of scientific meetings created by Jean Tran Thanh Van: the Rencontres de Moriond in 1966 and the Rencontres de Blois in 1989.
The creation of the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE) in the city of Quy Nhon (Central Vietnam) has the ambitious objective to focus on developing Science and Education by fostering exchanges between Asia-Pacific scientists and colleagues from other parts of the world.

Vietnam International Conference: Advances in Plant Biology - From Genome Editing to Sustainable Development (VAPB2024)
April 11-12, 2024, ICISE, Quy Nhon, Vietnam
 |
Welcome to the Vietnam International Conference on "Advances in Plant Biology - From Genome Editing to Sustainable Development (VAPB2024)"! Join us on April 11-12, 2024, at the International Center for Science and Interdisciplinary Education (ICISE) in Quy Nhon, Vietnam, as we explore the remarkable recent progress in plant biology. This conference will focus on the latest breakthroughs in the genome editing field and its applications in agriculture, especially in addressing climate change challenges.
Focus on Genome Editing, a Transformative Innovation in Plant Biology
In recent years, the field of plant biology has witnessed remarkable advancements that deepen our understanding and offer transformative solutions to global challenges, such as food security and climate change. Among the game-changing technologies, genome editing stands out as a powerful tool, providing unprecedented precision and efficiency in manipulating plant genomes. The advent of CRISPR-Cas9 and other genome editing techniques has opened up exciting possibilities as researchers worldwide explore ways to engineer crop varieties with enhanced nutritional content and develop climate-resilient plants capable of thriving under changing environmental conditions. As this technology continues to advance, it holds immense promise of transforming agriculture and ensuring a sustainable future for future generations. VAPB2024 will gather esteemed speakers who are at the forefront of their respective fields. They will share their expertise and insights, offering valuable perspectives on the latest breakthroughs and the transformative potential of genome editing.
Provide Excellent Opportunities for Learning and Collaboration
More than just a knowledge-sharing platform, this conference will be an opportunity for scientists, researchers, and industry leaders to come together, exchange ideas, and create new collaborations. Additionally, we are committed to empowering students in Vietnam by providing traveling fellowships for students to attend the conference, making it an exceptional learning opportunity for them to be part of this global scientific exchange event.
Hosted by ICISE: A Unique Science and Education Institution
This conference will take place at the International Center for Science and Interdisciplinary Education (ICISE), located by the ocean, and surrounded by beautiful mountains.
