On October 14, 2022, the Faculty of Food Science and Technology - Ho Chi Minh City University of Food Industry held a seminar "Students with scientific research - from ideas to products" with the participation of:

- Prof. Kang Woo Won, Faculty of Industry and Food Service, Kyungpook National University, Korea.

- Ms. Ha Thi Thu Suong, Development Director of DX-VINA Group.

- Dr. Nguyen Thi Thuy Duong - Faculty of Food Science and Technology.

- Dr. Phan Thi Kim Lien - Faculty of Food Science and Technology.

- Bui Minh Nhat Uyen – an alumnus of class DH06.

- Hase coconut-avocado ice-cream development team - students of the FST.

And all teachers, lecturers as well as students interested in attending.

- Guest speakers take turns sharing about how the idea was conceived and how to bring it into practice. Ideas can be very crazy things but do not frame it, find solutions to that madness. To do this, it requires knowledge and experience by reading documents, scientific articles, finding experts in the field to talk, hear about ideas and most of all, when you have an idea, don't hesitate. Find instructors!

- For an idea to be developed into a product, there are many factors in which a specific process is essential. First, we need to find out all the solutions to the idea, then choose a possible solution to experiment with, if it doesn't work, we can go back to the step of finding a solution. An idea that comes from the heart, desires and has a national element will give us more motivation to realize it.
