Vietnam National University of Agriculture Organizes an International Conference on Smart Space and Applications
Vietnam National University of Agriculture (VNUA) chairs and cooperates with Hanoi University of Mining and Geology and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology to organize the international conference “Smart Space Access and Applications” (IAAA 2025) over three days, from July 16 to 18, 2025.
According to the Organizing Committee, the IAAA 2025 aims to promote research and application of space technology and spatial communication in fields such as agriculture, industry, urban development, and related sectors, while enhancing international cooperation in this field. The conference will focus on discussions surrounding topics like smart space access, space networks, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and practical applications in daily life and production.
The event gathers delegates from nearly 50 leading universities and research institutes both domestically and internationally, along with reputable experts and scientists from high-tech fields such as communications, sensors, and big data.
Particularly, the conference features distinguished speakers from around the world, whose publications are ranked highly in relevant fields, representing the USA, Germany, France, South Korea, and Japan. These keynote speakers will present groundbreaking research and share the latest trends in space technology, sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and their applications in sustainable development, modernizing agriculture, and other industries.
The conference provides a platform for scientists, managers, businesses, and students to exchange and share the latest research, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and the application of space technology in sustainable development and modernization of agriculture, industry, urban areas, and related sectors in Vietnam. Additionally, the event contributes to the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024, by the Politburo on “Breakthrough in science, technology development, innovation, and national digital transformation.”
Associate Professor Nguyen Cong Tiep, Deputy Director of Vietnam National University of Agriculture, stated that this year’s conference will notably feature participation from many renowned professors from top global universities and research institutes, who will deliver important keynote speeches, opening new research and collaboration opportunities.

Dr. Nguyen Cong Tiep also expressed that the conference includes 39 scientific presentations selected from nearly 100 submissions, reflecting strong interest from the international scientific community on this topic. Notably, all papers will be published in the Springer’s Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series, indexed in Scopus, helping disseminate the scientific value of the conference globally.
“As a leading training, scientific research, innovation, and technology transfer center in agriculture in Vietnam, Vietnam National University of Agriculture is committed to accompanying scientists and partners both domestically and internationally to promote science and technology development for smart, efficient, climate-adaptive agriculture, contributing to national food security and expanding export markets,” emphasized Dr. Nguyen Cong Tiep.
Mr. Pham Quang Dung, Acting Head of the Department of Information Technology (Vietnam National University of Agriculture), stated that IAAA 2025 will showcase the development landscape of software, hardware, and algorithms related to smart space access, with applications in social life, urban development, and smart agriculture. The participation of reputable scientists from abroad will open up cooperation opportunities for the university and provide students with access to new technologies and applications.
Professor Dương Quang Trung from Memorial University in Newfoundland (Canada) and Queen’s University Belfast (UK), and Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE journal, also delivered a presentation at the conference. Currently, the information technology sector is experiencing significant growth opportunities with long-term prospects, making job opportunities in IT and computer science very open both domestically and internationally. Graduates from these programs will not face employment shortages, Mr. Dung affirmed.

Meanwhile, Gottfried Vossen from Münster University, Germany, shared that this was his first time attending the conference and was highly impressed with its scale and the quality of presentations. “We are witnessing a major trend where artificial intelligence, especially AI, is advancing rapidly, with various technologies converging and mutually promoting each other’s growth,” said Vossen.
Main topics presented at IAAA 2025 include: Hardware and spatial measurement; Access and applications of smart space; Space communication and networks; Service quality management; Security and privacy assurance; Intelligent remote sensors.
Besides the 39 presentations, the conference is honored to host six distinguished speakers from Canada, Germany, the USA, France, Japan, and Vietnam. These speakers will provide the latest scientific insights related to the conference themes.
Specifically, Professor Trung Q. Dương from Memorial University, Canada, will discuss: “Quantum Machine Learning and Optimization for 6G Networks,” highlighting breakthroughs in quantum machine learning and optimization, along with a comprehensive overview of their potential through machine learning approaches.
Professor My T. Thai from the University of Florida, USA, will present: “Federated Learning”—a promising development or just an illusion?
Dr. Tran Xuan Nam from Le Quy Don University, Vietnam, will share recent advances in UAV-based communication technology, focusing on using UAVs as airborne base stations. The integration of UAVs with technologies such as Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS), and short-range data transmission techniques aims to achieve ultra-reliable, low-latency communication.
Gottfried Vossen will deliver a keynote on “When Artificial Intelligence (AI) Soars into Space.” Generative AI (GenAI) has shown transformative potential in various applications—from text and programming to image and video creation. Current GenAI models can enhance image resolution, supplement missing data, optimize noisy data, and simulate real-world scenarios at local and global levels, opening new opportunities such as environmental monitoring, disaster response, and infrastructure planning. These capabilities are further enhanced by Agentic AI and advances in robotics. Consequently, it’s not surprising that these powerful capabilities will soon extend to fields like remote sensing or aerial platforms such as satellites and UAVs.
Professor Sylvain Guilley from Secure-IC S.A.S., France, will discuss “Security in Data Centers for AI Applications,” emphasizing that cybersecurity is key and requires the integration of multiple technologies into data centers operating under tight data flow conditions.
Professor Koichiro Ishibashi from The University of Electro-Communications, Japan, will present on “Beat Sensors and Lightweight Data Encoding for IoT Sensors in High Power and Long-Range Applications.”
Computer networks and data communications is a field that studies network principles, analysis, design, construction, operation, and management of network systems—from local area networks (LANs) to global wide-area networks. This field also equips learners with advanced skills for developing applications on networked computer systems, from mid-level to high-end.
Studying this field, students will understand and master common network services such as the World Wide Web (WWW), email, file sharing, multimedia, and the newest technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, network programming, automation, and cybersecurity.
Computer networks and data communications are ideal for those passionate about exploring and mastering technology, communicating globally via the internet using a computer or smartphone. Moreover, with knowledge of computer networks, students can build their own professional spaces on the internet.
In 2020, Vietnam National University of Agriculture started recruiting and training students in Computer Networks and Data Communications, developed from the former specialization of Computer Networks and Web (since 2015), part of the Information Technology program launched in 2002. The university aims to train generations of graduates in this field according to international standards and practical industry needs.
