Workshop
Workshop on International experiences on preventing money laundering and terrorist financing
Co-organized by KAS Vietnam and Department of Criminal and Administrative Legislation, Ministry of Justice
The workshop will explore international experiences in developing and enforcing legal regulations to prevent and combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. It will focus on enhancing the effectiveness of Vietnam’s Effectiveness Assessment Report and Technical Compliance Report. Specifically, the workshop will address areas where Vietnam currently falls short of Financial Action Task Force standards, particularly those related to the Ministry of Justice’s responsibilities. This includes regulations on money laundering (Recommendation No. 3), criminal penalties for acts related to the financing of terrorism (Recommendation No. 5), criminalization and financial penalties for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (Recommendation No. 7), and issues concerning the criminal liability of legal entities for money laundering and terrorist financing.

Emerging Issues and Challenges to ASEAN Centrality
Virtual conference
ASEAN centrality, the essential factor shaping regional security architecture in favor of its member states, is under challenge posed by emerging turbulences. The Covid-19 pandemic, as well as many arising security issues, have so far brought about disruptions to everyday activities in the region. ASEAN’s role in shaping regional architecture is under pressure as major-power competition is becoming more intense both on land and in the sea.

European National Innovation Systems: Trends, Policies and Challenges - Lesson Learned for Vietnam
International Conference co-organized by Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and Institute for European Studies
In the context of a rapidly developing knowledge economy, National Innovation Systems (NIS) can play a crucial role in the economic growth of countries. European countries have paid special attention to promoting scientific and technological innovation, enhancing the combination of scientific and technological innovation with economic growth. At the same time, they proposed strategies and policies to promote the development of NIS. Vietnam’s NIS is in the process of being finalized, so there are still many limitations such as: the policies to promote technology development in Vietnam have not been given high priority, and they have not yet been integrated into the country’s industrial, investment and trade policies. Vietnam's industrial policy pays little attention to developing domestic technological capabilities as an indispensable factor in the industrialization process. The process of commercializing innovative products is not really effective, reducing the motivation for NIS development. Thus, in the framework of research cooperation, the Institute for European Studies together with KAS organizes the conference entitled "European National Innovation Systems: Trends, policies, and challenges - Lessons learned for Vietnam”
