Activities of science and technology have significantly contributed to the social and economic development of the Central region and Central Highlands in Vietnam thanks to their creation of products that can be applied in production. Indeed, many products have been introduced in  regional and national Tech mart fairs such as Linh Chi mushroom production and shrimp production, Ceremic tile information, the Bio-product Betel-Bokashi and other successful products.

In the period 2006-2011, there were 210 research projects at all different levels related to local issues of the Central region, including 165 subjects done in Thua Thien Hue province. The project results have contributed to the social and economic development of local areas and the creation of a scientific foundation for many specific applications:

 1.  The study on “Research and development of ultrasound – microwave method in ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials synthesis based on PTZ with Nano structure” have developed many following specific products:

-  Manufacturing 01 device for material fabrication by microwave method;

-  Fabricating successfully nano TiO2/SiO2 thin films on tiles with large scale and applied them for waste-water treatment;

-  Developing nano silver using microwave method and applied for antibacterial water filter;

-  Improving PZT sol preparation for ferroelectric materials fabrication using microwave method.  

2. The research study on improving manufacturing technology to produce the Bio-product “Betel-Bokashi”, which is used for safely catching shrimp in safe cultural zones, in Tam Giang – Cau Hai lagoon system, has prompted Hue , Thua Thien Hue province has produced a large amount of Betel-Bokashi products for shrimp production.

3. The research study on using Gamma knife for treatment of cancer and cranial neuropathy had the following outstanding results:

- Application of Gamma Knife surgery in the treatment of brain tumors, brain arteriovenous malformations and some body cancers.

- Evaluation of the treatment results of brain tumors, brain arteriovenous malformations and body cancers by Gamma knife.

- Recommendations for treatment indications of brain tumors, brain arteriovenous malformations and body cancers by Gamma knife.

 Since September 2005, the Gamma Knife Center has seen 1,340 cranio-nerval cases: pituitary tumor (approximately 10%), crabiopharyngioma (approximately 5%), vestibular schwannoma (Acoustic neuroma) (approximately 10%), meningitis (approximately 10%), Astrocytoma (approximately 15%), Glioma (approximately 10%), metastatic brain tumor (approximately 10%), arteriovenous malformation (approximately 15%), recurrent brain tumor (approximately 10%), and others (approximately 5%). Those with the best outcomes are arteriovenous malformation, pituitary tumor, and vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma). The treatment has good result for head and neck tumor, liver cancer, lung cancer in the early stage (the survival rate after 3 years is about 60%, after 5 years is about 30%). System established because of the study has greatly improved patients’ living quality.

4. The research study on “improving productive process of ¾ foreign blood crossbred pigs of Duroc x (Pietrain x Mong Cai) serving development of pig production with high lean meat in central Vietnam” has finalized the process of pig raising and disease prevention for ¾ foreign blood crossbred pigs of Duroc x (Pietrain x Mong Cai). Besides, this study has developed two sow raising models and two models of raising pigs for meat.  

Hue University is continually enhancing effectiveness and connectivity between scientific research and training and social demand.  This is done through mobilizing all available domestic and international resources for developing and implementing various science and technology programs, as well as bringing research products and technical advances to the Central and Highland regions in Vietnam.
