Seven Nobel laureates will be among over 200 international scientists to attend an array of conferences to be held in the central province of Binh Dinh this month.
The conferences will be themed on a variety of fields from cosmology to nanophysics, with the participation of scientists from more than 30 countries around the world, news website VnExpress quoted Prof. Tran Thanh Van as saying.
He said the activities are part of an event that his association, Rencontres du Vietnam, is organizing in Quy Nhon Town between July 28 and August 17.
