In Episode 3 of the “Unveil the Future” Podcast – Season 4, we are pleased to welcome Prof. Kurt Kremer, Director Emeritus of the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (Germany), whose work has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of soft matter, a key foundation for modern materials, technologies, and industrial systems.
To facilitate participation in the 2026 nomination cycle, the session will offer comprehensive guidance on the nomination process, complemented by insights from distinguished scientific leaders on advancing impactful scientific research.
In this Episode 2 of Unveil The Future Season 4, we are delighted to welcome Dr. Nadia Radzman, plant biologist at the Sainsbury Laboratory, University of Cambridge (UK), and also a speaker at VinFuture Sci-Tech Week 2025 in the symposium “Innovation in Agriculture & Food.”
Dr. Jayshree Seth, who holds more than 80 patents and has made significant contributions to the development of advanced products and technology platforms applied at an industrial scale, was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in February, one of the highest distinctions in engineering. Behind this recognition lies a journey of perseverance and overcoming stereotypes, inspiring generations of women to pursue careers in science. On the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8, Dr. Jayshree Seth shares her reflections on the invisible barriers that can persist in STEM fields today.
VinFuture Foundation, in collaboration with the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (USA), will convene the InnovaTalk Webinar titled “Next-Generation AI and the Era of Autonomous Agents.”
“Most of the major scientific prizes are traditionally given in developed economies. Therefore, it is significant that a big prize such as the VinFuture Prize is now given in Vietnam, an emerging economy. This demonstrates to the world that emerging economies can be equal partners in the innovation game.”
