Over the past 30 years of construction, operation and development, VASECT has always been the focus of academic activities. Every year, VASECT organizes a national workshop to summarize and publish outstanding scientific research results on structural engineering and construction technologies in the fields of civil and industrial construction, traffic works, irrigation and hydroelectric works,... VASECT is a member of Federation of Civil Engineering Associations. Members of VASECT are oriented to study current, practical and theoretical topics, integrate in the direction of regular updates, closely linked to the role and development of the sector in the industrialization and modernization of the country. At this workshop, leading researchers and experts in the field of construction exchanged experiences as well as information on science and technology for sustainable development. At the same time, the workshop also included assessments and comments on existing and new construction technologies as well as trends of new technologies to be applied in Vietnam in the future.
