Students, academics and institutions will be brought together to explore ways to balance Viet Nam growing energy needs with the country’s net zero aspirations and COP26 commitments.
This three-part programme encourages an entrepreneurial mindset, that will use existing UK-VN innovation networks to creatively explore new educational links between research and business.
Innovative ideas, interdisciplinary approaches and the sharing of research relating to climate change will first be debated and explored at a Think Tank Symposium. This will be followed by a highly engaging Student Hackathon, designed to bring art, science and technology together and showcase entrepreneurial approaches, as well as a training programme.
