Message from our Founder
I founded IO Scholar to connect those of you pursuing deep learning, research, and technology development, from students, lecturers, and scholars to engineers and professionals, in a professional, trusted community where we learn, experiment, and grow together.
Here, members support one another to develop research skills, prepare for Master's and PhD journeys, apply for scholarships and high-level career opportunities, and pursue personal projects and startups, while staying current and sharing expertise on emerging technologies such as AI and quantum computing. IO Scholar Hub's mission is to be a high-quality, safe, and practical place that contributes meaningfully to science and technology in Vietnam.
I believe that you can go fast alone, but together we go farther, and I look forward to walking alongside and connecting with everyone who shares the same passion and determination in deeptech and lifelong learning.

- Don't know where to start or which path to take
- Feel disconnected from the research community
- Study alone, wishing for peers who understand
- Can't find the right collaborators for your ideas
- Drowning in information, unsure what's truly valuable
- Struggle to bridge theory to practice
- Feel left behind while others advance
- Uncertain if you're on the right path
Our Vision
We hope to build a community that understands, supports, and grows together.
- Clear learning paths to help you find your direction
- A connected community of researchers and learners
- Collaborative peers who understand your journey
- A space where ideas find partners

"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."
