PROMOTING INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH WITH DATA SCIENCE IN VIETNAMESE UNIVERSITIES: CURRENT SITUATION AND ORIENTATION

Tóm tắt

The integration of data science into interdisciplinary research (IDR) has become a cornerstone in addressing complex global challenges, particularly in the digital era. In Vietnam, while there has been a growing recognition of data science’s potential, its integration into interdisciplinary research remains in the nascent stages. This paper examines the current situation of interdisciplinary research with data science in Vietnamese universities, identifying key challenges and opportunities. The study highlights the importance of infrastructure development, human capital, and collaborative frameworks to promote data science across academic disciplines. It also provides strategic recommendations for fostering a data-driven research ecosystem, ensuring sustainable development and global competitiveness. The paper concludes by proposing actionable steps for Vietnam to establish itself as a leader in interdisciplinary data science research, contributing to solving pressing societal issues.
