1. Overview of research findings

Since last year, we have been working on the process of joining ASPUnivNet (UNESCO Associated Schools Supporting University Network) as a project, and this year we were able to achieve this goal. We have also been able to start our activities as an ASPUnivNet member university (attending twice-yearly management meetings, participating in the national UNESCO Associated Schools conference, and participating in other UNESCO Associated Schools-related events).
In order to promote research on ESD, the ESD in Higher Education (HESD) Forum was held at our university, providing a venue for research presentations and exchanges. On the same day, an international symposium, "Sustainable Development and ESD," was also held in a hybrid format, with many professors from Vietnam National University participating in person to present their research and engage in exchanges.
We were then able to present the above-mentioned related research and its results and disseminate them to the outside world.
