The conference took place in the context of the Politburo’s Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024, which identifies breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation as decisive factors for competitiveness and essential conditions for rapid and sustainable national development in the new era. In line with this orientation, Dong Thap University in general and the School of Education in particular have consistently regarded scientific research, technology development, and innovation as core missions closely linked to training, community service, and educational quality enhancement. Promoting scientific research among lecturers and students not only strengthens professional competence but also fosters a dynamic, creative, and globally integrated academic environment.
