Vietnam, UK Commit To Fostering Multifaceted Economic Partnership
	Vietnam, UK to Actively Deepen Strategic Partnership

This hybrid workshop gathered scholars, scientists, and researchers from the UK and Vietnam. The main speakers included professors and doctors from ICL, the University of Warwick, Newcastle University, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, and Vietnam National University. Their expertise spans physical chemistry, material technology, chemical technology, energy control and management, electrochemistry, mechanics, and materials.

During the event, speakers shared new technologies, research findings, and practical experiences from Vietnam and the UK in three key areas, including decarbonizing industry, the production and conversion process of green hydrogen, and battery management and storage.

The discussions also addressed the challenges and solutions for achieving the Net Zero goal, with a particular focus on renewable energy, green hydrogen, energy storage, industrial decarbonization, infrastructure, circular economy, and climate finance in Vietnam. Furthermore, the speakers explored the challenges related to policy, investment, and capital mobilization in Vietnam's energy transition process and its carbon market.

According to Associate Professor Yen Tran, a member of the VIS Executive Board and head of the event’s organizing committee, the workshop is one of VIS's initiatives to leverage and promote the expertise and knowledge of its members working at universities across the UK. The aim is to connect the scientific communities of both countries.

"The goal of reaching Net Zero by 2050 is a global issue, not just a national one. This forum will benefit Vietnamese scientists, both domestically and in the UK, by providing a more thorough understanding of technological advances and achievements related to Net Zero," said Associate Professor Yen Tran.

The event was co-organized by ICL, a world-leading university in technology and science, particularly in sustainable development, clean technology, and environmental technologies. This serves as a bridge for scientists from both countries to discuss and exchange the latest technologies in the UK related to Net Zero, their applicability to Vietnam, and experiences in policy, governance, and innovation in the energy transition process.

"Vietnam can learn from the UK in areas such as green hydrogen production, energy storage technology, and other technological solutions while also seeking funding for projects. Currently, in the UK, there are many funds and organizations willing to sponsor and provide advice for projects in green energy and sustainable development," added Associate Professor Yen Tran.

Vietnam Pledges to Realize Commitments At COP26 Vietnam is actively implementing international commitments, especially commitments since the 26th United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26).
