The 2nd Conference for Young Scientists, Graduate Students, and Doctoral Candidates – CYSG 2025, organized by Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH), officially opened on May 10, marking a new milestone in developing a strong foundation of young researchers and knowledge creation.
This year’s conference attracted over 400 authors from 21 educational and research institutions nationwide. Out of 153 full-text scientific papers submitted, 128 were selected through a rigorous peer-review process. For the first time, artificial intelligence was used in the review process, along with modern plagiarism detection tools. The integration of advanced technologies in academic assessment demonstrates the conference’s innovative spirit and the Organizing Committee’s commitment to fairness and academic quality for each selected paper, which is published in the proceedings and presented in sessions.
In his opening remarks, Prof. Dr. Le Van Canh, Vice President of HUTECH, emphasized the fundamental role of science and technology as a strategic driver for the sustainable development of any nation. Amid the global wave of innovation, science is not only a tool but also a method through which humans understand the world, address real-world challenges, and enhance economic competitiveness.
