The Summer School is jointly organized by the Rencontres du Viet Nam and the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE), in collaboration with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), taking place from June 9 to 20, 2025. This is one of the internationally significant scientific events hosted in Viet Nam, with a development history of nearly 30 years across 14 editions, attracting over 1,000 young scientists and international students. The Summer School serves not only as an intensive academic forum but also as a vital international bridge, contributing to building a network of young researchers in the field of quantum physics, one of the pillars of modern fundamental science.
