Sustainability Science Basics: A Report on Vietnam Japan University

This report outlines the basics of sustainability science with a focus on Vietnam Japan University (VJU) and its role in capacity development and technology transfer. VJU, leveraging Japanese technologies and experiences, offers practical education, facilitating technology transfer through various channels and emphasizing the importance of skills acquisition for effective technology utilization. The university's four programs—Master of Business Administration, Master of Infrastructure Engineering, Master of Nanotechnology, and Master of Environmental Technique—aim to develop students' problem-solving abilities and provide them with modern knowledge and skills. The report highlights institutional changes, such as the integration of modern machines and advanced tools, to enhance students' capacity and promote sustainable practices, including the development of sustainable energy technologies and the use of sustainable materials like bamboo in construction. The changes in the curriculum like MBA are expected to foster commercialization, innovation, and entrepreneurship among students, ultimately contributing to sustainable development.

Introduction
Role of capacity development in technology transfer
Technology transfer
 It is the by process by which technology is being transferred from places and in groups of its origination to wider distribution among more people and places.
 Along various axes that are in universities, from universities to businesses it occurs.
 Through transfer or indigenous development technology can be acquired.
 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.
MPP: Institutional change
 The solid foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge will be
given
 Modern methodologies
 Advances tools will be used
 Modern facilities
 In context of multi culturally modern knowledge and skills will be used
This will help the children to build their capacity as their skills,
knowledge will be improved through this change that is being brought by this
university in the institution.
With this change they will get to know about advanced technologies that is
MBA: Commercialization
 Collaboration of MBA Students with graduate students
 The growth and skills of students will enhance
 A new course will be provided to the students
 From university it will transform in to business
This new change that is been brought by this university in MBA will help the
children towards the growth of their skills and knowledge It is been expected
through this they will be able to launch their own business start-ups
With this they will get to learn about the latest technologies use and the
knowledge will also be enhanced About computers and the other information
technology tools they will get to gain knowledge
MIE: Change in lab
 With modern technology's construction of transport
infrastructure such as bridges and highways
 Towards a sustainable development planning managing
and maintaining projects
 In labs the new advanced material will be used.
In the lab the advanced and modern technology will be used the
new things will be learned by the students form this. The
sustainable material such as bamboos will be used in the
construction filed to teach the students about sustainable
MNT: Modern machines
 Advanced and latest nano-devices will be given
 The problem solving abilities will be developed
 Learn about fabrication process
 In this field of nano technology they will able to do conduct new research
Through the use of modern machines they will get more knowledge and
skills which will be useful in their growing period .The students capacity will
developed and they will know about sustainable practices such a development of
technologies for sourcing, storing and coveting sustainable energy that is fuel
cell and hydrogen energy
