More than 700 students at Vietnam Maritime University participate in scientific research
More than 700 students at Vietnam Maritime University are engaged in scientific research, contributing to the development of numerous projects and technological products with practical applications.
On June 5, Vietnam Maritime University held a conference to review and present the “Student Scientific Research” Awards for the 2025–2026 academic year, alongside a technology product exhibition.
During the 2025–2026 academic year, the student scientific research movement at the university continued to grow strongly. A total of 210 research projects were implemented, nearly 30% higher than the previous academic year. The number of participating students reached 727, while 194 projects were accepted at faculty and institute levels, achieving an approval rate of 92.38%.
Scientific publication activities also recorded remarkable progress, with 44 scientific papers and research reportspublished, nearly three times the figure recorded in the 2024–2025 academic year. Research teams successfully developed 21 technological products, experimental models, and application-oriented solutions, enhancing the practical value and technology transfer potential of their research projects.
From the 194 research projects accepted at the institutional level, the university selected the 30 most outstanding projects to compete for the University-Level Student Scientific Research Awards for the 2025–2026 academic year. The projects were evaluated by two specialized panels—Science and Technology and Economics and Social Sciences—to ensure objectivity, scientific rigor, and suitability to the characteristics of each field.
As a result, the Council presented numerous awards to projects demonstrating high academic quality, innovation, creativity, and strong practical applicability. Based on a comprehensive evaluation, 10 outstanding projects were selected to further refine their submissions for the 2026 Ministerial Award for Science and Technology for Students in Higher Education Institutions.
The number of nominated projects this year doubled compared with the previous academic year, reflecting significant growth in both the scale and quality of student scientific research activities.
One of the highlights of the academic year was the active participation of businesses in supporting student research. For the second consecutive year, LG Electronics Vietnam Hai Phong sponsored scientific research activities for students at the university.
The funding was allocated to the 12 most outstanding projects to support the purchase of equipment and experimental materials, the development of research models, and the enhancement of practical applications.
The event also featured the 2026 Student Science and Technology Product Exhibition, showcasing innovations across a wide range of fields, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), automation, smart logistics, environmental technology, green energy, and sustainable marine economic development.
Many projects have been developed into prototypes, devices, and practical solutions with real-world application potential, highlighting two major research trends: intelligent automation and green technologies for sustainable development.
The exhibition was organized into three thematic categories: core technologies, robotics and automation; advanced simulation and experimental design; and smart management solutions, green construction, and community rescue and emergency response.
The showcased products not only demonstrated interdisciplinary integration among information technology, electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, automation, and logistics, but also reflected students’ ability to develop practical solutions to real-world challenges in both production and everyday life.
