- Training staff of the Center for Experimental Analysis in basic experimental research and analytical methods (petrology and XRF methods) to enhance their proficiency in operating analytical equipment.

- Investigating the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of basalt in the Bolaven area, Southern Laos.

- Hosted a delegation of two young Lao scientists, participating in a training program at the Institute of Geological Sciences. The participants received guidance on geological and mineral analytical methods, including polarizing microscopy, XRF, XRD, SEM, and EPMA. They also learned about the importance of proper sample preparation for geochemical studies.

- Processed thin sctions of 20 basalt rock samples and analyzed for the silicate compositions using the XRF method.

- Published one paper in the Vietnam Journal of Marine Science and Technology, with another paper being accepted for publication in the October 2023 issue.

- Enhancing analytical skills of Lao officials and laboratory analysis in mineral geology.

- Developing capabilities in processing analytical data and writing scientific articles.

- Strengthening science and technology cooperation between Vietnam and Laos.

- Providing a scientific basis for Vietnam to support Laos in scientific and socio-economic development.
