Dear Distinguished Scientists,
I am delighted to introduce the fourth newsletter of the year 2023 from the VinFuture Foundation.
As you read through this newsletter, the diligent efforts of the Pre-Screening Committee have culminated in the completion of the pre-evaluation round. The curated nominations have advanced to the final stage of selection, currently undergoing meticulous review and judgment by the Prize Council. This critical phase brings us closer to identifying and honoring those exceptional individuals whose contributions are making a profound impact on our world.
In this newsletter, I am thrilled to unveil the theme for the third award season: “Boundless Unity.” This theme embraces the very essence of the VinFuture Prize’s values, revolving around diversity, global partnership, and interdisciplinary collaboration in the pursuit of scientific and technological solutions to universal human problems.
Looking ahead, I am excited to provide you with a glimpse of the forthcoming Award Ceremony Week in December. Our agenda promises an engaging lineup of events, including four thought-provoking panel discussions:
- Semiconductors Unleashed: The Backbone of Modern Innovation
- Advancing Precision Immunology for the Treatment of Autoimmune Disorders
- AI – Transformative Opportunities and Challenges
- Sustainable Infrastructure and Green Transportation
While more detailed information and registration forms will be made available soon, I encourage you to stay updated through our media channels for announcements.
Please also kindly keep in mind that nominations submitted after the May 15th deadline will automatically be considered for the subsequent year’s season. Therefore, I encourage you to reach out to our dedicated Secretariat at secretariat@vinfutureprize.org for any assistance you may require during the submission process.
Lastly, it brings me great pleasure to share with you that the VinFuture Prize’s website has undergone a significant revamp. Through this redesign, our aim is to enhance your experience when seeking information about the VinFuture Foundation. This enhancement will better serve your needs and provide a seamless platform for staying connected with the latest developments.
We hope you enjoy reading this newsletter, and thank you for your continued support in the development of the VinFuture Foundation and its Prize.
Warmest regards,
Dr. Thai-Ha Le
Managing Director
