Of the nearly 6 million overseas Vietnamese, about 10%, or 600,000, have a university degree or higher. In almost all key sectors, Vietnamese experts participate in research and work, achieving accomplishments that have had a global impact. Dr Pham Minh Son, a senior lecturer at the Imperial College London, is recognised for his contributions in the research of special materials. Son leads a research group on advanced materials for aviation, aerospace, and energy systems. With creative mindsets, young overseas Vietnamese intellectuals are a significant driving force for both their resident country and their homeland. Stéphanie Đỗ, a member of the French National Assembly in the 2017-2022 term, is another example. Her desire to change her life through education, self-improvement, and the pursuit of success as a woman born in Vietnam was acknowledged by French President Emmanuel Macron. In recent years, overseas Vietnamese intellectuals have helped with the transfer of knowledge and advancements in new science and technology, and particularly in mobilising international resources for Vietnam. 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption of a Party resolution on policies concerning overseas Vietnamese, which has created a breakthrough in policies for overseas Vietnamese. In the context of globalization and Vietnam’s deep international integration, overseas Vietnamese intellectuals are increasingly asserting their position and status in the global intellectual environment./.
