The University of Da Nang awards prizes for student scientific research in the 2025-2026 academic year.

The Student Scientific Research Award has been expanded to include three key areas: engineering and technology; socio -economic and humanities; and natural sciences and medicine.

With two main categories, including projects with scientific publications and projects with applied products, innovation, and entrepreneurship, the awards for the 2025-2026 academic year show significant progress.
