About ResFes 2025

Research Festival 2025 (ResFes 2025) is a platform that provides students with opportunities to pursue their academic research desires. Acknowledging the growing trend in doing research and academic activities, the Organizing Committee holds this event to help spread this passion among students. With the aim of keeping up with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its application in every aspect of life, "Embody the essence of AI, Empower the future" is chosen to be the main theme of this year's contest. The Organizing Committee would like to see how students understand the development of AI, as well as to what extent AI could contribute to their research and foster innovation in their research fields. The total prize money of ResFes 2025 grows up to nearly 300 million dong.

Why AI?

The surging need and growth of Artificial Intelligence has been witnessed among every sector and industry, especially during the time of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Being considered the defining technology of the era, the promise of AI is compelling. The adoption of AI has been growing steadily since 2022 and is expected to experience an AI boom in 2025 and the following years. Industries and businesses, not only over the world but also in Vietnam, are centralizing the usage of AI. Acknowledging this fact, Research Festival 2025 (ResFes 2025) encourages young researchers to accelerate the integration of AI in five main sub-committees, including Business Administration, Information Technology, Linguistics, Digital Art and Design, and Multimedia Communications. Potential research projects are those which successfully embrace the adoption and achievements of AI to foster innovation and quality of sustainable development in the future.
