As part of its international cooperation initiatives and efforts to strengthen regional academic connectivity, on 12 November 2026, Nghe An University (NAU) co-organized the 8th International Conference on Sciences and Social Sciences (ICSSS 2026), hosted by Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University (RMU), Thailand.
The conference was held under the theme “From Local Knowledge to Global Engagement: Advancing Integrated Innovation through Science, Humanities, and Social Sciences for Societal Transformation and Sustainable Development.”
ICSSS 2026 served as an international academic forum bringing together scientists, lecturers, researchers and experts from universities and research institutions across the region and beyond. The conference provided opportunities for knowledge exchange, research dissemination and interdisciplinary collaboration. Its main areas covered four fields: science, technology, engineering and agriculture; health sciences and healthcare; social sciences, humanities and education; and business, economics and management in the digital era.
As a co-organizing institution, Nghe An University contributed to international academic networking, provided academic expertise and coordinated the implementation of conference activities.
The conference featured oral and poster presentations, providing opportunities for researchers to disseminate their findings, exchange experiences and explore potential research partnerships. According to the programme, the conference included 49 oral presentations and 60 poster presentations, alongside keynote sessions and academic discussions involving international experts.
Notably, ICSSS 2026 was held in conjunction with partner networking activities and the Third Summit of the ASEAN–China Universities Alliance for Sustainable Development (AASD). This provided an important opportunity for member universities to strengthen partnerships, promote academic exchange and scientific research, and advance multilateral cooperation programmes.
Co-organizing ICSSS 2026 further demonstrates Nghe An University’s proactive role in expanding its international partnerships, strengthening research capacity and promoting the internationalization of higher education. The event also contributes to enhancing the University’s profile, reputation and
academic cooperation capacity within the regional and international higher education community.
Through meaningful international cooperation initiatives, Nghe An University continues to reaffirm its commitment to international integration, knowledge connectivity and partnership development towards sustainable higher education.
