Started in 2003, RIVF (Research, Innovation and Vision for the Future) has become a major scientific event for researchers in the field of Computing and Communication Technologies, not only in Vietnam but also worldwide. Van Lang University (VLU) will host the conference from December 18-20, 2025 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It continues to offer an opportunity for researchers and innovators to discuss problems, share results, identify emerging issues, and establish academic collaborations in various disciplines of computing and communications. The RIVF’25 conference website is located at http://rivf2025.org.
