Joint Vietnam - Russia Tropical Science and Technology Research Center (VRTC) (Vietnamese: Trung tâm Nhiệt đới Việt-Nga, Russian: Российско-Вьетнамский тропический научно-исследовательский и технологический центр) is a scientific research organization in Vietnam.[1] This Centre was established in 1988 by an Agreement between the Ministry of National Defense (Vietnam) and the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Center is headquartered in Hanoi and has branches in Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang, with a field station in Cat Tien National Park, where it maintains a meteorology tower. The Center's main functions are: - Conducting scientific and technological research in the fields of Tropical Materials, Tropical Ecology, and Tropical Biomedicine to solve urgent problems of the two countries; - Practically deploying and supporting the application of innovative solutions and advanced technologies in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Russian Federation; - Coordinating and supporting the cooperation between Vietnamese and Russian organizations in fulfilling scientific and technological tasks; - Training Vietnamese and Russian experts, including qualification training and improvement; - Participating in the implementation of bilateral cooperation programs and projects between the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Russian Federation; - Cooperating in science and technology with third-country organizations and participating in international projects suitable to the fields of operation of the Center. After more than 36 years of construction and fulfillment of tasks, VRTC has become a multidisciplinary tropical science and technology organization with position and professional reputation affirmed in Vietnam, Russia, and globally. Its scientific and technological contributions have significantly supported national defense, security, and socio-economic development. As a bridge in science and technology between Vietnam and Russia, the Center has maintained proven working relationships with numerous Russian scientific organizations and experts. It has also proactively developed partnerships beyond Russia, laying the groundwork for deeper, broader, and more effective international collaborations in the future. Through its achievements, the Center has actively contributed to strengthening and developing the traditional friendship and comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and the Russian Federation.
