Building a Global Culture of Science—The Vietnam Experience

Global mentoring: This Essay focuses on the mechanisms in which scientists from research‐strong countries can extend their experience and knowledge to emerging scholars throughout the world. Based on our work in Vietnam, we outline, step‐by‐step, the processes behind establishing a center of research excellence that provided research opportunities to Vietnamese emerging scholars.

Abstract

We detail the lessons learned, challenges, achievements, and outlook in building a chemistry research center in Vietnam. Through the principles of "global science", we provide specific insight into the process behind establishing an internationally‐competitive research program—a model that is scalable and adaptable to countries beyond Vietnam. Furthermore, we highlight the prospects for success in advancing global science education, research capacity building, and mentorship.
