The first guest speaker – Prof. Thuc-Quyen Nguyen brought about the question of “Energy for ALL” and showed us the human aspect of Science. Audiences were given interesting examples of how solar energy was made accessible for the poor people in remote areas. Thanks to the help of Science and Technology, a new age of energy is coming with human beings breaking free from limitations of natural resources.
Talking about humans switching from the passive position to proactive one, from efforts for reservation to decision of creation, our second speaker – the youngest scientist to have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics since 1973, Prof. Konstantin (Kostya) Sergeevich Novoselov brought audiences on a journey of human beings, from exploring and exploiting nature, adapting the platform for the new realities and going beyond our capability by creating our own demand materials with new applications.
The third guest speakers of the dialogue – Dr. Corey Hoven told the story of photovoltaic windows with the ability to create energy themselves. Energy-producing building is the proof of science, as the perfect solution for humans to conquer climate change and energy crises.
In the second episode of the VinFuture Public Dialogue, there was a special session for ideas presentation of young scientists & start-ups and advisory support from keynote speakers.
