poor expression,’ he explains. The recent workshop that he helped to facilitate aimed to help address such challenges. ‘The highlights of the recent training of the trainers workshop were the opportunities for those who are experienced in research communications to improve their skills in disseminating knowledge in a very constructive way,’ he notes. ‘Activities like this workshop would definitely play an important role in helping Vietnamese scientists to embed their skills in research communication; this would help to orient Vietnam research to catch up with the world research trends, so we are not isolated to the world scientific societies. This activity provides Vietnamese researchers with more possible resources, for example funding, to explore.’
Communication is at the heart of Khoa Mai Anh’s research goals: ‘I hope my research results will be accessed by other scientists of my field.
They can be used at university training activities and also be applied in practice by both industry and small farm holders.’ South Asia is a diverse region with many languages, cultures and particular challenges. It is a privilege for INASP to be able to play a role in so many research stories.
