Hanoi, Vietnam, November 18th, 2024 - VinFuture Foundation officially announces the agenda for the 2024 Science and Technology Week and Award Ceremony to take place from December 4th to 7th, 2024, in Hanoi, Vietnam. This series of world-class events will bring together leading scientists and experts in pivotal technological domains, including material sciences, artificial intelligence, air pollution and environmental studies.
Professor Rachid Yazami, the 2023 VinFuture Grand Prize Laureate, has commended the groundbreaking nature and significant impact of this prestigious award. He believes that VinFuture not only recognizes innovations that benefit all of humanity but also positions Vietnam as a global hub for cutting-edge technology development and collaboration.
Professor Gurdev Singh Khush, the co-Laureate of the 2023 VinFuture Special Prize for Scientists from Developing Countries, shared his heartfelt journey of research and collaboration with Professor Xuan Vo-Tong. Together, they developed new rice varieties, which significantly contributed to global food security.
A year after receiving the VinFuture Prize in 2023, Professor Jens Juul Holst was once again named one of TIME’s 100 most influential people in the world in the field of health. He continues to inspire with his profound insights into the research of the GLP-1 hormone. This groundbreaking discovery marks a historic turning point as humans can now change the course of the battle against diabetes and obesity for the first time.
“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.”

Sir Richard Henry Friend, FRS, Chair of the VinFuture Prize Council
I’m a multi-disciplined kind of person. I’ve done mathematics. I’ve done physics. I’ve done economics. I’ve done biology. I’ve done computer science. And in the same way, I am not a single-book kind of person nor a single-genre person. I very much believe in bringing diverse perspectives together, including both fiction and nonfiction.
