APPLICATION OPENS FEBRUARY 2025
Enable school students to discover scientific work and life of OUCRU researchers through joyful, compelling, and engaging visits.

Scientific research takes place in every aspect of daily life. It brings about wonders by finding answers to problems, thus making our lives better. Therefore, the earlier children get involved in learning about research, the greater chance they have of taking action to build a better world. However, there are limited resources and opportunities given to school students in Vietnam to access to research models and authentic science at schools. 

As a health sciences unit, OUCRU is keen to engage school and university students in our research and motivate this young generation to follow research as their career path. Our Science Visit project provides opportunities for students from Ho Chi Minh City and nearby provinces to participate in joyful, compelling, and engaging visits to OUCRU. 

Key activities

Lab Tour

OUCRU researchers in the role of “Lab guides” will show students what is going on in OUCRU laboratories and explain some biomedical research currently underway.

Meet the scientists

Students will have the opportunity to meet with scientists in infectious disease research field. They will listen to stories about scientific research from scientists’ real-life experiences and understand how they seek to solve infectious disease problems in the current context. In addition, they will discuss with scientists about health science, then raise questions to ease their concerns.

Key Milestones

2024

After a long break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Science Visit is returning with an innovative approach. We not only welcome school students, but we also invite university students to our events. The participants will experience health science research in OUCRU through role-play activities, chat with the scientists, and join the lab tours. 

2019

The year was full of the Science Visit events. There were 6 events, including 1 event for secondary school students, 4 for high school students, and 1 for OUCRU staff’s children. A total of around 80 school students and 20 scientists attended all the events. 

2018

The first time Science Visit came to schools. From March to July 2018, 8 separate science visits were organised for secondary and highschools.

OUCRU scientists met and showed their research to students outside of OUCRU 

2017

37 students, 5 teachers, and 7 scientists participated in the first version of Science Visit in 2017.
