DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Quynh Lan Nguyen ()\nOver the past decade\, astronom
 y and astrophysics in Vietnam have grown. While national infrastructure—
 such as observatories in Nha Trang\, Hoa Lac\, and ExploraScience Quy Nhon
 —has laid the foundation for public outreach and data collection\, unive
 rsities are now driving the next phase of growth through academic speciali
 zation and infrastructure expansion.\nThis presentation highlights recent 
 national advancements in astronomy research and education\, focusing on ma
 jor university-led developments. A key highlight is Phenikaa University’
 s launch of its new planetarium complex and the establishment of Vietnam
 ’s first specialized undergraduate program bridging Astrophysics and Spa
 ce Data Science.  Phenikaa University is advancing both theoretical resear
 ch and hands-on observational education. Furthermore\, these developments 
 serve as critical infrastructure for Hanoi hosting the 19th International 
 Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA 2026)\, where Phenikaa Univer
 sity serves as the primary academic venue. We summarize these pedagogical 
 and infrastructural developments\, demonstrating how university-led platfo
 rms and international collaborations on gravitational waves are training t
 he next generation.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/event/238/contributions/
