About scientific research

Aiming to be a pioneer in training, scientific research and technology transfer, the nature of research activities of the Faculty of Science has also shifted from basic research contents to topics in research programs. application and development of technological solutions, both in the number of topics and in the implementation funding. Scientific research is closely associated with teaching, learning and compilation of textbooks and teaching materials. Publications in domestic and foreign magazines and international conferences. Funding for scientific research projects also increased, and applied science and technology products were transferred more and more. To date, the Faculty of Natural Sciences has more than 55 ISI and Scopus articles.

Since the establishment of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, departmental, school, and international conferences in the field of Environment, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Applied Biology have been held periodically.

Along with education and training, Thu Dau Mot University has always focused on developing scientific research work among faculty members and students. Following the University's policy, the Faculty of Natural Sciences has increasingly promoted the potential of scientific research among faculty members and students. Topical seminars, scientific seminars related to topics: "Chemistry for sustainable development", "Physics and applications"; "Biological applications in agriculture"; "Biological applications in medicine"; "Some modern biology issues" is one of the periodic activities that help lecturers exchange, learn, share information, research results and exchange practical experiences between lecturers in teaching and scientific research work. The Faculty has also successfully organized the IFGTM international conference 2016 with the theme "Green growth, the path of sustainable development", the seminar attracted hundreds of domestic and international scientists to attend.

To create a forum for exchanging scientific achievements in research and application development in the fields of biotechnology, chemistry, applied physics, environment and mathematics into socio-economic fields.
