The conference addressed contemporary challenges in economics and finance, offering a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and academic discourse. By providing a supportive environment for young researchers, the conference contributed to the development of future academic leaders. Overview of ICBF 2024 Given the growing urgency of climate change and environmental degradation, the conference placed significant emphasis on sustainable development in the realm of economics and finance. The Institute for Business Research (IBR), which is actively conducting research on the financial system's role in energy transition and the digital transformation of Vietnamese businesses by 2045, played a pivotal role in shaping the conference agenda. Professor Jonathan Batten from RMIT University emphasized the significance of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and ESG criteria in the global context. He argued that there is an increasing need for research that goes beyond traditional topics like Net Zero, Green Bonds, and Blockchain, emphasizing the practical benefits of initiatives aligned with the SDGs, particularly in addressing climate change, poverty, and inequality. Professor Jonathan Batten (RMIT University, Australia) Professor Aviral Tiwari from Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya (IIMBG)  focused on the correlation between climate change and real estate tokens, highlighting both physical and transition risks. He argued that any changes in real estate tokens have a significant impact on climate change indicators. Additionally, he emphasized the potential of diversification and risk mitigation strategies to manage climate-related volatility in real estate token portfolios. Professor Aviral Tiwari (Institute of Management Bodh Gaya, India) Professor Siong Hook Law from Universiti Putra Malaysia discussed the impact of economic uncertainty on income inequality in developing countries with varying levels of financial inclusion. He argued that economic uncertainty can actually reduce income inequality in countries with higher levels of financial inclusion. This topic has garnered significant interest among scholars due to the increasing economic uncertainty in the current global context. Professor Siong Hook Law (Universiti Putra, Malaysia) Professor Hooy Chee Wooi from Universiti Sains Malaysia delved into how CEOs balance the goal of maximizing corporate profits with the demands of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agendas. His research suggests that CEO power, including ownership, expertise, and reputational power, is positively correlated with greater management risk-taking and negatively correlated with corporate sustainability. Professor Hooy Chee Wooi (Universiti Sains, Malaysia) Delving deeper into the topic, Professor Evan LAU Poh Hock from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak highlighted the crucial role of education in preparing future leaders by inculcating the principles of Sustainable Development Goals, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). He argued that equipping future leaders with the necessary skills and knowledge to develop policies, allocate resources, and drive innovation can foster transformative change, contributing to economic growth, sustainable development, and improved quality of life. In particular, investing in education and technology can bridge the gap between developed and developing countries, promoting equitable growth and enhancing global competitiveness. Professor Evan LAU Poh Hock (Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Malaysia) Professor Gary Campbell from the University of Michigan highlighted the apparent contradiction between mining activities and the goals of a circular economy. With dwindling ore grades and increasing environmental damage, the extraction of non-renewable minerals, which are crucial for renewable energy and green technologies, poses a significant challenge. He argued that government intervention is necessary to steer the market towards more desirable outcomes. Professor Gary Campbell (University of Michigan, U.S) Professor Vo Xuan Vinh's research highlights the critical role of green bonds in addressing global challenges such as energy market volatility and the need for sustainable investment. By financing projects in renewable energy, green transportation, and greenhouse gas reduction, green bonds not only mitigate environmental impact but also create attractive investment opportunities. However, developing a robust green bond market in Vietnam requires concerted efforts from the government, businesses, and investors, including a comprehensive legal framework, increased investor awareness, and a diverse range of green bond products. Speakers participate in discussion about sustainable development One of the highlights of the ICBF 2024 conference was the opportunity to meet with editors from renowned international journals. This provided researchers with valuable insights into publication standards and processes, as well as practical advice on improving their research. Distinguished editors such as Professor Jonathan Batten (Emerging Markets Review), Professor Brian Lucey (International Review of Economics & Finance), Professor Gary Campbell (Resources Policy) Professor Marcin Staniewski (Contemporary Economics); Professor Evan LAU Poh Hock (Finance & Economics Readings); Professor Aviral Tiwari (International Journal of Emerging Markets); Professor Siong Hook Law (The International Journal of Economics and Management); Professor Muhammad Shahbaz (Journal of Environmental Management); Professor Hooy Chee Wooi (Capital Markets Review) and Professor Daniel Balsalobre Lorente (Sustainable Cities and Society) shared their expertise and experiences. These sessions and workshops facilitated interactions between presenters and editors, enhancing the chances of publishing in top-tier journals. A session to meet the editors from renowned international journals ICBF 2024 received over 200 paper submissions. After a rigorous review process by the Scientific Committee, approximately 80 high-quality research papers were selected for presentation at the conference. Within the framework of ICBF 2024, there were 7 plenary sessions and 40 parallel sessions covering a wide range of topics, including business administration, finance, management, banking, behavioral finance, accounting, business, international business, financial markets, finance in emerging markets, international trade, marketing, leadership, public administration, economics, business law, and tourism. At the conclusion of the conference, the Scientific Committee awarded 'Best Paper Awards' to papers that addressed topics of significant interest to the international scientific community and demonstrated the highest level of scientific quality and excellence.

UEH is pleased to welcome a delegation of lecturers and students to exchange and implement the “Sustainable Entrepreneurship for Economic Development – SEED” project from July 25, 2024 to August 2, 2024. Following the success of the SEED 2023, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland co-organized the Sustainable Entrepreneurship for Economic Development – SEED 2024 with the goal of sustainable development, applying technology to develop agricultural areas with sustainable entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility in Vinh Long province. The SEED 2024 project created interest and participation from students from College of Business UEH, Ho Chi Minh City Banking University (BUH), University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH-VNUHCM), Foreign Trade University (FTU), Ubon Ratchathani University, Kasetsart University (Thailand), Latrobe University (Australia), Trinity University (USA), and University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (Switzerland). In preparation for the program, the SEED students were given supplementary information to provide an overview of Vietnam's economic development, covering topics such as economic growth, policies, industry, and difficulties and possibilities. The program's speakers also discussed the current state of social entrepreneurship in Vietnam, which has seen the emergence of many unique social entrepreneurship models, ranging from projects providing education to children in remote areas to initiatives to protect the environment and improve living conditions for disadvantaged groups. Furthermore, the students were taught about business models, tactics, and financial management for the project, all of which play an important role in determining the organization's strategy and long-term success. Beginning their 5-day excursion in Vinh Long province, SEED 2024 lecturers and students visited, observed, interviewed, and learnt about the area's overall economic development status, particularly agricultural development, traditional food production, local tourism, and so on. The students listened to and asked questions of householders, business owners, and local officials, who answered questions about the current state and difficulties of the agricultural economy, support policies, technology deployment assistance, future development directions for agricultural products or industries, and so on. Students raised awareness of the current situation and difficulties that businesses in the area experience through discussing and answering questions, recognized the importance of agriculture in the economy and people's lives, and recognized significant problems that need to be addressed. In addition to studying, the SEED 2024 lecturers and students took part in a variety of interesting cultural experiences, like painting acrylic on conical hats, touring the Temple of Literature, experiencing traditional music, and producing banh xeo in Vinh Long province. Towards the end of the project, student groups will present their ideas and proposed business models with the goal of improving the local business environment while also demonstrating community responsibility, along with comments and assessments from professionals in the field. Experts will assess the project's economic and social impact, taking into account success indicators as well as the real impact on the community and environment. These remarks not only help local businesses enhance their current condition but also provide more experience for students, laying the groundwork for future projects and activities, guaranteeing that sustainable startup efforts can continue to expand and have long-term good consequences. The SEED 2024 initiative concluded with students learning about social entrepreneurship, social responsibility, and cultural and social values throughout their study in Vinh Long. Not only that, but the program will take the students through moments and emotions associated with the hospitality of the Vietnamese people and country. The obstacles and challenges they faced when they first joined the program are now behind; by overcoming them, the students gained new experiences for themselves. The project expects that these pleasant experiences and feelings will boost students' motivation, help them build their professions, and contribute favorably to long-term economic development and the community. Students can better understand their country by discussing academic and social challenges through collaboration and teamwork. From here, each learner develops more realistic insights on the model of a global citizen.

Thanks to the efforts to implement this model, many higher education institutions in Ho Chi Minh City have “changed their appearance”, creating a more friendly and dynamic look. Students of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City participating in waste classification and recycling activities. (Photo: Coordinator) “Green Campus” is a project developed within the multidisciplinary and sustainable university strategy of University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City for the period 2021-2030. The project is implemented according to the “Living Lab” model. This is an open innovation ecosystem operated with a user-centric orientation, making the most of the connection between stakeholders, with the core element being the integration of research, education, innovation, and technology to solve real-life problems. In the first phase, the university piloted the implementation of sustainable waste management measures at Nguyen Van Linh campus, aiming for a “zero waste” lifestyle for the entire system. The set goals were that 90% of organic waste would be processed on-site; 95% of recyclable waste was collected and sent to recycling facilities; the amount of single-use plastic waste was reduced by 30%, and 70% of students and staff would gradually change their behavior in practicing a green lifestyle. At that time, the university focused on implementing a communication campaign to raise awareness and change behavior about waste classification using the 3R model (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) with many seminars, exhibitions, competitions, movements, etc. In July 2023, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City officially issued the "Green Campus" Practice Regulations. According to this regulation, stakeholders are encouraged to carry out actions listed as minimizing waste discharge, practicing waste classification at source, recycling or reusing discarded materials, pacticing resource saving, increasing the use of stairs, or participating in public transportation. In particular, the “Green Practice Station at UEH” is an area for practicing waste classification before disposal according to the regulations. From October 2023 to March 2024, four tons of recyclable waste were classified by the school and sent to the collection and recycling unit. Nearly 50% of the staff and students at this university have been aware of the regulations on Green University and the 3R model. The school representative stated: In the next period, we will continue to promote solutions to promote green living, to improve the effectiveness of the models, and to maintain comprehensive sustainable development.
