The Golden Globe Awards for Science and Technology were presented to 10 young scientists on the evening of October 29. The awards, jointly organized annually by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and the Ministry of Science and Technology, honor up to 10 young talents under the age of 35 each year.

This year, the two youngest awardees were born in 1995: Dr. Vu Thai Hoc, a lecturer at the Institute for Information Technology and Digital Transformation Training at Thu Dau Mot University, and MSc. Nguyen Ba Manh, a researcher at the Institute of Chemistry under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology.

Only one female scientist made it to the top 10 in 2025: Dr. Dang Thi Le Hang, born in 1992, from the Institute of Advanced Technology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. Her research focuses on developing smart biomedical materials from natural polymers that can regenerate tissue and support the treatment of chronic diseases.

The Golden Globe Awards 2025, now in its 22nd edition, attracted 96 applications - an increase of 34% compared to 2024. Notably, 26 young Vietnamese scientists currently studying and working in countries with advanced science and technology systems also participated.

Of the 10 awardees, three are currently based overseas: Dr. Nguyen Pham Nhat Thien Minh (Singapore), Dr. Pham Anh Tuan (Sweden), and Dr. Tran Ngoc Vinh (United States).

The 10 outstanding young scientists were honored across five strategic fields of science and technology: information technology, digital transformation and automation, medical technology, biotechnology, environmental technology, and new material technology. These individuals represent the core human resources and pioneering force in the implementation of Resolution 57.

The organizing committee noted that the solutions proposed by the 10 awardees address both global challenges and Vietnam’s practical needs, particularly in areas such as climate change, clean energy, human health, and sustainable development.

Also on the evening of October 29, the Vietnam Women in Science and Technology Awards were presented to 20 exceptional female students. These honorees excelled in various fields including information technology, computing, mechanical engineering, electrical-electronics-telecommunications, materials science, environmental studies, applied biology, and architectural-engineering design.
