Dr. Ngo Minh Hai outlines criteria for selecting high-quality research proposals

During Phase 1 of the 2023–2024 academic year, the Office received a total of 23 proposals. Among these, 13 projects targeted international journal publications, 9 aimed for domestic publications, and 1 focused on applied research outcomes.

The proposals covered diverse topics and were contributed by various faculties and units, including the Faculty of Marketing (6 proposals), the Faculty of Finance and Accounting (5), the Faculty of English (6), the Center for Political Theory (2), the Faculty of Information Technology (1), the Graduate School (1), and the Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management (2).

The council conducts discussions and evaluations for each proposal

Each proposal was carefully reviewed based on the established criteria. Council members provided detailed analyses of strengths and limitations, as well as recommendations for improvement, particularly regarding research scope and titling. After nearly two hours of deliberation, the council officially approved 18 proposals.

For the approved projects, all feedback and evaluations from the council will be compiled and shared with the respective researchers. This will enable faculty members to refine their research directions and enhance the quality of their studies during the implementation phase.

Through this rigorous evaluation process, UEF continues to strengthen the quality of its research activities, fostering a dynamic academic environment and encouraging faculty to pursue impactful and high-value research initiatives.
