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.
XXIst Rencontres du Vietnam
"The 5th International Vietnam Conference on Earth and Environmental Sciences (iVCEES-2025)"
November 24 – 28, 2025, ICISE, Quy Nhon, Vietnam
We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation at the 5th “International Vietnam Conference on Earth and Environmental Sciences” (iVCEES-2025). The iVCEES-2025 will be held from November 24 to November 28, 2025 at the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE), Quy Nhon, Vietnam.
The iVCEES aims to be a premier interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to share and discuss the latest findings, trends, challenges, and advancements in the fields of Earth and Environmental Sciences. English is the official language for all communications.
This year, the suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
- S1: Solid Earth Sciences (convener: Nguyen Thuy Duong, VNU University of Science)
- S2: Aquatic Sciences (convener: Hoang Thi Thu Huong, Hanoi University of Science and Technology -HUST)
- S3: Advanced materials for sustainable environmental remediation (convener: Tran Nguyen Hai, Duy Tan University)
- S4: Biodiversity and Aquatic Resources (convener: Girley S. Gumanao, Davao del Norte State College, Philippines)
- S5: Hydrology and Water Resources (convener: Do Xuan Hong, Nong Lam University, HoChiMinh City)
- S6: Remote Sensing and Applications (convener: Tong Si Son, University of Science and Technology of Hanoi, USTH)
- S7: Emerging technologies & Interdisciplinary topics (convener: Ngo Duc Thanh, USTH)
- Special Session S8: Natural Radioactivity in the Environment (convener: Conrad Dorer, Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal, University of Applied Sciences, Germany)
- Session tentatively scheduled for Thursday, November 27 - Special Session S9: Atmospheric Sciences and Regional Climate (conveners: Ngo Duc Thanh, USTH; Faye Cruz, Manila Observatory)
- this session is dedicated to honoring the 70th anniversary of Professor Phan Van Tan, a leading climate and meteorological scientist in Vietnam’s atmospheric sciences community - Special Session S10: Asia Climate Risk and Impact Strategic Workshop (conveners:Irene Lake, Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute; Laura Burgin, UK Met Office)
- This session stems from the wish to establish long-term collaboration on Science-Impacts-Society and Multi-scale Climate-Air-Water Nexus for Sustainable Health, Food, and Energy. Climate scientists and impact representatives/stakeholders from various sectors will discuss real information needs and explore a pilot project to develop tailored training for key groups (e.g., decision-makers, students, marginalized communities). The pilot project will highlight the value of cross-disciplinary collaboration and include components such as trust-building excercises and knowledge exchange.
This session will not accept abstract submissions but will be organized as a panel discussion and roundtable/breakout discussion.[Concept note for Asia Climate Risk and Impact Strategic Workshop 2025]
