Founded in 1993 by Jean Tran Thanh Van, the association “Rencontres du Vietnam”, a non-profit organization and an official partner of UNESCO, has as its objective the promotion of international exchanges between Vietnam and the international community, particularly in the areas of science and education. It also aims at the encouragement and integration of Vietnamese scientists into the international scientific community and at supporting the role of education and science by encouraging scientific awareness and stimulating passion for science in the younger generation. “Rencontres du Vietnam” lies within the scope of two series of scientific meetings created by Jean Tran Thanh Van: Rencontres de Moriond in 1966 and Rencontres de Blois in 1989.

The Vietnamese Phytopathological Society was established on September 28, 2001, as a legally recognized entity after being separated from the Union of Biological Associations, under Decision No. 515/QĐ-BNV issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Association maintains a network for collaborative research and knowledge exchange with numerous plant pathology associations around the world and in the region, including the Asian Association of Societies for Plant Pathology (AASPP). These collaborations aim to promote the advancement and dissemination of knowledge related to plant diseases and their management globally, particularly within Asian countries, including Vietnam.

The creation of the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE) in the city of Quy Nhon (Central Vietnam) has the ambitious objective to focus on developing Science and Education by fostering exchanges between Asia-Pacific scientists and colleagues from other parts of the world.
