Fundamental And Applied IT Research (referred to as FAIR) is organized to contribute to promoting fundamental and applied research in Information Technology in Vietnam. This conference is under the chairmanship of the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations, in collaboration with the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, VietnamNational University, Hanoi, and leading scientific institutions and researchers from researchinstitutes and universities nationwide.

In 2025, the Conference Steering Committee, in partnership with the Hanoi University of Industry, organized the 18th National Scientific Conference (FAIR’2025) with the theme “Digital Transformation and Future Trends” on August 21–22, 2025, in Hanoi.

This conference serves as a forum for researchers in the field of Information Technology (IT), particularly faculty members from universities and research institutes across the country, to present their latest findings and exchange experiences in IT research and applications.

Currently, Vietnam is advancing its scientific and technological development, innovation, and digital transformation to become a high-income, developed nation. In this process, Information Technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence and communications plays a crucial role. We are building an economy based on high technology, with Vietnam actively undergoing digital transformation across all sectors. This process is unfolding dynamically and vigorously. With the theme “Digital Transformation and Future Trends”, the conference acknowledges the substantial benefits of AI and digital transformation. We recognize that data has become an invaluable resource, yet the world is increasingly flooded with fake data and misinformation, largely generated by AI. As the IT community, we must actively engage in developing measures to mitigate these negative impacts, safeguarding users and ensuring societal safety.
