The Fourth Industrial Revolution, driven by the high-level integration of digital, physical, and biological systems, along with the breakthroughs of the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, is fundamentally changing the world's production landscape, directly impacting all fields from natural sciences to social sciences and humanities.
Directive by the Decision No. 16/CT-TTg dated May 4, 2017, by the Prime Minister of the Government, regarding strengthening the capacity to access the Fourth Industrial Revolution, has requested the implementation of "connecting the Vietnamese scientific and technological community abroad and the community within the country... while minimizing the negative impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on Vietnam."
