On the morning of July 24, 2025, at Meeting Room 1 – University of Technical Education, the Faculty of Chemical and Environmental Technology in collaboration with the Department of Science Management & International Cooperation organized a scientific workshop with the topic: “Research on C, N and isotope transformation in agricultural soil: potential and applications”.
Dr. Nguyen Sy Toan presented some preliminary results of the ministerial-level project B2024.DNA.2024
The workshop is part of a series of activities to welcome the 10th ATiGB Workshop in 2025 and implement the Faculty’s 2024-2025 academic year task plan. The workshop also presented preliminary results of the ministerial-level project chaired by Dr. Nguyen Sy Toan, code B2024.DNA.10. The event attracted a large number of staff, lecturers, students and scientists from home and abroad.
Prof. Tetsuya Shiroishi presented the research
Dr. Phan Thi Thuy – Agricultural Academy presented the report
In her opening speech, Dr. Huynh Thi Diem Uyen – Head of the Department of Chemical Technology – Environment, Head of the Organizing Committee, affirmed the importance of interdisciplinary research on agricultural soil in the context of climate change and the requirements of sustainable development. The workshop was attended and discussed by: Dr. Ngo Thi Minh Phuong – Deputy Head of the Department, emphasizing the need to connect scientific research and production practices. Dr. Phan Chi Uyen – Head of the Department of Chemical Technology, proposed the direction of exploiting advanced chemical compounds and processes to improve soil quality. Dr. Nguyen Huu Phuoc Trang – Head of the Department of Food Technology, shared her perspective on the relationship between the quality of agricultural raw materials and food processing technology. Dr. Nguyen Thi Dong Phuong – Head of the Department of Biotechnology, highlighted the role of microorganisms and biotechnology in soil nutrient management.
Workshop participants
The workshop recorded 4 typical thematic reports:
- C, N, heavy metal and isotopic changes in rice soil in Central Vietnam – Some preliminary results (Dr. Nguyen Sy Toan) – presenting initial results on changes in carbon, nitrogen, heavy metal and isotopic content in rice soil, clarifying the relationship between farming methods and soil quality.
- Introduction to Yamagata University (Prof. Takashi Okuno) – providing an overview of the leading training and research institution in Japan, opening up the potential for international cooperation.
- Effects of egg compost from different microbial preparations on the growth and yield of cat cabbage (Dr. Phan Thi Thuy – Vietnam Academy of Agriculture) – showing the potential to utilize by-products to develop microbial organic fertilizers.
- Some research by Yamagata University professors on food and culture (Prof. Go Matsumoto & Prof. Tetsuya Shiroishi) – introducing research works on traditional food, modern processing technology and the relationship with regional culture.
Presenting souvenirs to representatives of Yamagata University – Japan
In addition to the reporting part, the workshop also had many exciting academic exchanges, opening up opportunities for research cooperation between the Faculty of Chemical Technology – Environment and domestic and foreign partners. This is also an opportunity for lecturers and students to access new knowledge, while affirming the role of scientific research in improving the quality of training.
The workshop ended in an exciting atmosphere, creating motivation for new research directions on agricultural land management and improvement, contributing towards a green and sustainable agriculture.
