Conference overview.
Speaking at the Conference, Mr. Pham Van Bac - Director of the Department of Building Materials (Ministry of Construction) acknowledged the efforts of the Institute of Building Materials in the past year, and set a task for the next year: "In the past 2022, although the conditions are still many difficult, but with the collective efforts and efforts of the Institute's centers and sub-institutes, it has brought about many remarkable results. The Ministry of Construction highly appreciates the above results and completely agrees with the report. This is a lesson to promote for 2023 so that the Institute of Building Materials strives to play the role and promote the strengths of the old year. Regarding professional work, the Department of Building Materials is the State management agency of the Ministry of Construction on the issue of building materials, in which the Department's activities have made great contributions of the Institute in implementing activities, research and practical application. The Institute of Building Materials has connected to the Department of Building Materials to make policies to submit to the Ministry. In addition, the scientific and technical team has been enhanced, this is a great growth step in fostering human resources for the Institute of Building Materials. Recently, the Ministry of Construction issued a database on products and goods of construction materials. In the task of this planning, the Institute of Building Materials is required to soon conduct research and implement the topic, thereby bringing the result that the product becomes the database in the process of mineral planning for building materials. In 2023, continue to actively research to implement into reality, bringing the echo and prestige of the Institute of Building Materials in the country and abroad.
Receiving comments from the Director of the Department of Building Materials (Ministry of Construction) Pham Van Bac, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Trung Thanh said that the Institute has determined that each development stage will have its own difficulties and most importantly, finding get the right solution and the right direction. The Director affirmed that the Institute of Building Materials will continue to closely follow the research task to properly perform the functions and tasks assigned by the Ministry of Construction. Besides, the Institute will continue to expand cooperation with localities and international units, contributing to perfecting theory from practical issues.
