Research is often labelled by the youth as arid, from another angle, it however can be seen as either a challenging and joyful “journey” of discoveries when promising results are gained, expectations are met, and outcomes are useful for the real life.
Following its internationalization and research promotion
strategies, VNU University of Economics and Business has increasingly affirmed
its academic position when producing high-quality research products, setting a foundation
for the improvement of teaching, learning, and policy advisory, and
contributing to the socio-economic development. In research, the University has
always facilitated its faculties, PhD candidates, graduate and undergraduate students
for activeness and creativity. The University plays an important role in directing
and coordinating research activities as well as diversifying resources for
research purposes.
Student research has received attention from the
University for long, especially since the Research Community for Economics Students
(RCES) was established on October 25, 2014. RCES bridges students and research
through annual projects such as I Research, RCES Companion, RCES Spreadout…etc.
With its mission of bringing research closer to students, RCES is doing its
best to bring out a diverse and close-knit view of research, and one of such
prominent, connected products is the UEB
Category of Student Scientific Research.
The Category is part of RCES Spreadout, a non-profit
project, with the aim of spreading valuable experiences and knowledge about research
to economics students. The Category is compiled and published online twice a
year by RCES, with the technical assistance of the Office of Journal and
Publishing, the Office of Scientific Research and Development Cooperation, the
Youth Union at the University.
So far, the Category of Student Scientific Research
has published its fourth volume. It has received a lot of attention and
appreciation from students inside and outside of the University. It is
considered as a serious product, showing the enthusiasm of RCES members, the competences
and contributions of the students in research. The Category is of great values
as it:
- Provides
students with useful knowledge and information they should know about research.
- Publishes
excellent, top research ideas and results made by the students inside and outside
of the University.
- Connects
academic communities for students, supporting and promoting them to do research.
- Introduces
useful and valuable lessons for students through the sharing of teachers,
thereby inspiring to do research and showing them the right direction for research.
