Assoc.Prof.Dr. Dao Thanh Truong - Vice Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities expressed his sincere thanks to Prof. Sarah Turner for taking the time to share her knowledge and skills in writing research proposals with the University's staff.

The Vice Rector believes that Prof. Sarah Turner's presentation will bring new aspects and new experiences on how to write a practical and convincing research proposal. 
Prof. Sarah Turner shared at the training session: Designing research objectives and questions is one of the basic skills in scientific research. However, at present, in many training and research institutions around the world, there are still proposals that are not written appropriately and do not meet international standards. The training session focused on solving each problem in research, specifically:
- How to write research questions and research objectives that meet international standards
- Instructions on how to ask short, concise research questions that still attract the attention of readers
- Distinguishing and guiding how to write conceptual frameworks and theoretical bases that meet international standards 
- Advanced awareness of research methods
