This is a VNU’s initiative to discuss issues with great impact on Vietnam and other countries.
  Hanoi Forum 2018 is an international academic conference, scheduled for November 8-10 with the theme “Towards sustainable development - Climate change response for sustainability and security”.
The forum will have five sub-committees, discussing the status of climate change and security, the impacts of human beings, solutions to climate change; policy and governance, science, technology and human resources training for climate change response.
The forum will also feature two events of policy dialogues on natural resource management in the Mekong Delta region and urbanization in the Red River Delta. 
Speaking at the signing ceremony, VNU President Nguyen Kim Son said since 2001, the two sides have implemented various cooperation activities, including the dispatch of Vietnamese postgraduates to South Korea to work with local scholars. 
Hanoi Forum 2018 shows VNU’s and KFAS’s positive interest about solving global issues and issues directly affecting Vietnam's economy and society, Son stressed.
