In order to select candidates with the research capacity and academic orientation suitable for the doctoral training program, Dong Nai Technology University (DNTU) organized the doctoral candidate proposal defense session for Batch 2 of 2026, with the participation of many candidates from various fields of expertise.

The defense session took place in a serious, professional, and highly academic atmosphere, with the participation of an expert panel comprising professors, associate professors, and doctors with extensive experience in teaching and scientific research. This was considered an important evaluation step to examine the candidates' research capacity, academic thinking ability, and topic implementation orientation before they officially joined the doctoral training program.

At the defense, candidates took turns presenting their research proposals, focusing on content such as the reasons for choosing their topics, the urgency of the research issues, research objectives and methods, as well as the expected theoretical and practical contributions. Many topics were rated as highly relevant to current affairs, closely linked to socio-economic development needs, digital transformation, governance, and technology application in the current context.

During the presentations, candidates also received many critical questions and professional feedback from the panel. The comments focused on refining research approaches, clarifying the novelty of the topics, their practical applicability, and implementation methods appropriate to the requirements of a doctoral-level research work.

Through the academic critique process, candidates not only had the opportunity to refine their research proposals but also improved their presentation, analysis, and scientific argumentation skills. These are important factors for future in-depth study and research.

The doctoral candidate proposal defense session for Batch 2 of 2026 was not only a professional admissions activity but also helped build a serious academic environment, encouraging a spirit of research and innovation in postgraduate training at DNTU.

In the coming time, the University will continue to improve the quality of training and scientific research, creating favorable conditions for students and doctoral candidates to develop their professional capacity, expand academic cooperation, and gradually integrate into the regional and international research environment.

The defense session was a great success, marking an important starting point in the research and academic development journey of the doctoral candidates at DNTU.
