As the leading scientific playground for students in FPT Education, Research Festival (ResFes) 2025 focuses on applied research and AI integration.
Research Festival (ResFes) is an annual scientific research festival organized by FPT Education Organization (FPT Edu) since 2018, aiming to create a playground for students with a passion for scientific research. Initially focusing on the field of information technology, ResFes has expanded its scale and number of fields over the years, becoming one of the large-scale scientific research events, inspiring and expanding the scientific research movement among young people.
In the era of Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence (AI) has become the core foundation of most professions.
