The Festival transcends a mere academic forum; it is an open space for faculty, staff, and students to engage in professional exchange, explore modern scientific research methodologies, and hone critical thinking skills. This year's event convenes a large assembly of faculty leaders, lecturers, students from various departments, and garners significant attention from the University's Board of Rectors and Evaluation Council, underscoring the profound importance of scientific research within the university environment.

Bridging Research and Technology Through Digital Platforms

A prominent highlight of this year's program is the online exhibition, featuring over 120 practical research projects, innovative initiatives, and graduation theses. Leveraging digital platforms and the University's official Fanpage, this activity not only disseminates research values but also reaches a wider community, simultaneously fostering students' presentation and research product marketing skills.

Honoring Young Innovators – A Launchpad for Liberal Education

The event also serves as an occasion to recognize and award outstanding projects, thereby encouraging students to continuously develop their research capabilities, cultivate critical thinking, and foster innovation – essential competencies for global citizens.

Core Value: Integrating Research with Sustainable Development

With a clear strategic direction, Lac Hong University establishes its pioneering role in connecting academic research with sustainable development. A significant portion of this year's Festival research projects focuses on areas such as green technology, clean food, renewable energy, and community health – aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

By embedding sustainable development thinking into its training and research, LHU not only meets the criteria of these global objectives but also affirms its mission of fostering liberal education, creativity, and community service. This strategic alignment enhances LHU's competitiveness and standing within the region.
