"As a student who had never done research before, I was very confused and afraid to start, not knowing where to begin among the many diverse guides and advice on Facebook groups and from friends. But through weekly learning with IO Research 101 with Hoa and the community members, I gradually understood the process, learned how to read literature and ask better questions. Honestly, this program helped me become more confident to start scientific research effectively and with quality from the very beginning."

Message from the Founder
I founded IO Scholar with one core belief: Vietnamese talent, when meaningfully connected and supported at the right time, can create lasting impact — for individuals, communities, and the country.
As a PhD researcher living and studying abroad, I've experienced what it's like to feel alone, lost, and eager for a space to learn, share, and grow with others on a similar path. IO Scholar was born from that need, a place I once wished I had when I started my tech career.
This community exists to support students, researchers, and tech professionals — especially those pursuing academic and innovation-driven careers. Together, we build research skills, explore emerging technologies like Quantum Computing, AI, Cloud, and Cybersecurity, and connect with mentors to help shape a globally confident generation of Vietnamese changemakers.
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. At IO Scholar, I hope you find not just knowledge — but meaningful connection and the courage to grow beyond limits to unlock your full potential.
