Basics of Sustainability Science

This presentation provides an overview of the basics of sustainability science and its role in technology transfer and capacity development. It explores the programs offered by Vietnam Japan University (VJU) and the opportunities for students. The presentation covers topics such as institutional change, commercialization, infrastructure engineering, nanotechnology, environmental techniques, and regional studies. It highlights the benefits of these changes for capacity development and the adoption of sustainable technologies.

Basics of
Sustainability
Science

Technology Transfer
• In the institutional and human resources both
require knowledge and skills.
• However, technology transfer needs to know
how the skills to acquire adopt and utilize the
technology effectively.

Capacity development
• It is the ability of people or organization to
manage their affairs and reach objectives
successfully.
• For sustainable development it is been
recognized that capacity devolvement is an
integral part of global partnership
The role of capacity development in
technology transfer is essential as through
capacity development the technology can
be transferred to places and groups.
And from capacity development the skills
can be developed to make use of
technology sustainability.

VJU will be beneficial for the capacity
development of the children
 They will develop the skills and knowledge on
how to work on sustainable technologies
 All these changes that have been brought in the
education program will be beneficial for the
student in their coming years.
