From July 21 to July 29, 2025, two students from the Faculty of Biology, Hanoi National University of Education, were selected to attend the International Marine Biology Course (IMBC 2025) at Niigata University, Japan. Together with students from six other countries, the Vietnamese students had an unforgettable experience in an international program - learning not only about Japan’s people and culture, but also gaining opportunities for academic exchange, collaboration, and inspiration to reach further in their scientific studies and research careers.
