Twelve out of the 30 papers received by the Colloquium Organizing Committee from both domestic and international scientists were selected for presentation at the two concurrent sessions of the colloquium.

In his colloquium opening speech, VNU USSH Vice Rector Nguyễn Văn Kim not only emphasized the importance of the 4^th industrial revolution but also stated, “In recent years, Vietnam has been viewing education as well as science and technology as a driving force originating the development”.

Therefore, this colloquium would focus on the analyzing of a broad topic of policy and the role of science, technology and education in Vietnam’s international integration. The colloquium would also be a forum for international and national managers, scholars to present their research results and discuss other relevant issues.

The opening session was followed by paper presentations and their discussion at the two concurrent sessions of the colloquium.
