Phó giáo sư Donna Cleveland, đại diện RMIT Việt Nam phát biểu tại sự kiện

At the opening ceremony, Associate Professor Donna Cleveland, representing RMIT Vietnam, remarked: “This year’s theme, Regeneration, reflects our belief that it’s time to go beyond traditional sustainable design and embrace approaches that combine design thinking with nature-based solutions and scientific insights. Our aim is to rejuvenate and discover solutions that harmonize the needs of both local and global communities while safeguarding the environment. This central theme is explored through three key pillars: Culture and Heritage, Community and Space, and Environment.”
