On June 12th, IAD received a notification email that our project is one of the 35 projects that passed the preliminary round of the STIC Research and Publishing Seed Grant competition.

On Jun 12, 2024, Dr. Quoc Thong NGUYEN, Director of IAD and also PI of our STIC project, received a notification email that our project was selected for the STIC Communication Workshop 2024 and will be presented at the STIC Research and Publishing Seed Grant competition on the next July, 2024 in Lao.

Accordingly, our project representative (member of IAD) will participate in a 5-week Communication Workshop from June 19 – July 3, 2024 to prepare the effective communication through poster presentation.
