Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is a balanced development between economic, social and environmental factors.
In 2015, 17 sustainable development goals were officially adopted at the United Nations Summit with the participation of 193 member countries. Those goals are for human development. On the contrary, to accomplish those goals, we must rely on human resources.
Today, the world is facing non-traditional challenges such as climate change, energy security, digital transformation safety, food security, and global disease prevention. Therefore, sustainable development has become an urgent requirement for every country in the world, including developed countries and developing countries.
To realize sustainable development goals as announced by the United Nations, the Government of Vietnam issued Resolution No. 136/NQ-CP dated September 25, 2020, on sustainable development. In particular, the Government of Vietnam emphasizes the opinion that "people are the center of sustainable development".
Thus, human training & development is the most important factor for sustainable development. Therefore, higher education institutions have an important role in promoting sustainable development in countries.
Hanoi University of Science and Technology is a leading research and training university in Vietnam, which trains Vietnamese and international students with high quality and large scale. The vision and mission of Hanoi University of Science and Technology is to become a high-ranking university in Asia and actively contribute to sustainable development.
For in-depth research and widespread discussion, Hanoi University of Science and Technology organizes the “International Conference on Human Resources for Sustainable Development” (ICPT.HUST 2023) under the approval of the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam.
The Conference has received the attention of Vietnam Communist Party agencies, Government agencies, and international organizations such as the Central Propaganda Department, USAID, British Council, and Embassies of countries that have students studying at our university.
Furthermore, the Conference received many articles from researchers and management experts from countries with large economies in Asia (such as China, Japan, and Korea), as well as other countries with developed industries in Europe (such as Italy, Russia, and Slovakia).
The Conference includes 03 sections:
- The first section is “Strategy and policy for human resources training for sustainable development”
- The second section is “International experience in highly qualified human resource development and sustainable development”
- The third section is “Orientation and solutions for human resources training and sustainable development for Vietnam”
Research and discussions at the Conference provide suggestions on:
- Strategy and policy for sustainable development
- Developing human resources for high-tech industries of the 4.0 Industrial Revolution
- English language training to meet global labor standards.
Many useful international experiences have also been shared by international scholars. Besides, there have been many articles providing useful directions and solutions for Vietnam's sustainable development.
In particular, from an international vision, there have been positive assessments of Vietnam's economic model and achievements. That is a lesson for many developing countries to create an independent and self-reliant economy in the world today.
On behalf of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the leaders, managers, scholars from Vietnamese and international agencies and organizations who have come to Hanoi University of Science and Technology to attend the International Conference ICPT.HUST 2023.
The opinions discussed at the Conference are extremely useful and appreciated.
We look forward to Vietnam’s high-quality human resources and sustainable development.
Welcome to the International Conference ICPT.HUST 2023.
