Prof. Laetitia Atlani-Duault shared: The Covid-19 pandemic and its global impact have created many significant disturbances in society and left long-term consequences. Therefore, current and future generations need to remember and store pandemic research and records well, to be prepared for events that may occur in the future.
Since its establishment 4 years ago, the Covid-19 Ad Memoriam Institute has published many articles, podcasts and successfully organized many conferences on the topic of Covid-19. However, the Institute's results are currently facing difficulties in research approaches from the perspective of social sciences and humanities. Therefore, as the leading university for research and training in the fields of social sciences and humanities in Vietnam, the research results of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities during and after the pandemic will contribute to perfecting the Institute's research in the future. At the meeting, the two sides discussed research cooperation and co-publishing in the future. Prof. Laetitia Atlani-Duault also invites the University of Social Sciences and Humanities to attend and contribute research at the upcoming Covid conference. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dao Thanh Truong - Vice Principal of the school affirmed: During the pandemic and post-pandemic period, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has published many studies and successfully organized many seminars on Covid-19, especially from departments such as Sociology, Psychology, …. To spread positive and humane energy during difficult times, the school has organized many volunteer programs and community service activities such as 0 VND Supermarket and free mental health counseling, support vaccination for students and lecturers,...
Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dao Thanh Truong hopes that the combination of both sides will not only bring social science research in Vietnam closer to international readers but also deepen the academic exchange between Vietnam and France.
The Covid-19 Ad Memoriam Institute was established at the University of Paris in May 2020, to collect, store and analyze traces and memories of this pandemic. Accordingly, the Institute will create a digital data warehouse, as a basis for discussions and for the government and people to prepare for future crises. In order to continue to develop and prepare for the future, the Covid-19 Memory Institute brings together different fields (research, health, law, justice, associations, religious communities, arts...) to jointly research the Covid-19 pandemic and develop response strategies for epidemic risks occurring on different approaches.
