Our Research Objectives

Scientific research projects are highly applicable in Vietnam and affirm the professional capacity of the teaching staff.

Provide technological solutions in waste treatment

After determining the status quo and assessing the level of pollution, the study will make appropriate and optimal technology choices to reduce and eliminate pollutants.

Develop environmental management mechanisms and policies

Focus on surveying the current state of the environmental management system, analyzing the impacts of stakeholders, thereby building appropriate environmental mechanisms and policies.

Building a circular economy model and sustainable development

Resource regeneration research is a necessary direction in the context of an economy that needs alternative materials and clean energy. The research results will be applied to the circular economy.

Research Focus Areas

Focus on the areas of sustainable development and climate change and contribute to solving complex ongoing environmental issues.
