Research Events : Research Seminars

Research Seminars help to establish a culture of sharing and peer discussion of the research that scholars are engaged in. They help to inform the community of the type of research that is occurring at an institution, foster collaborations, and engagement with the larger scholarly and practitioner communities. The University Research Seminar series will feature topics in engineering and computer science, health, humanities, and business management and are open to all members of the VinUni community.
