On behalf of VAST, Prof. Acad. Le Truong Giang expressed his hope that Professor Konstantin Sergeevich Novoselov would accompany and support VAST in developing research in materials science, particularly in the fields of two-dimensional (2D) materials and new materials. VAST is in the process of building a team of young scientists specializing in materials science and nanotechnology, while also aiming to establish a community network connecting scientists and young students in materials science, physics, mathematics, and computer science. This initiative seeks to strengthen exchanges and cooperation and to overcome the fragmentation of research resources.
Exchange of souvenirs
The working session opened up new prospects for cooperation between VAST’s affiliated units and Professor Konstantin Sergeevich Novoselov. Both sides expressed their determination to jointly promote collaborative research programs, aiming to establish an international cooperation network in materials science and nanotechnology.
