On June 30, 2020, at Meeting Room B of Quy Nhon University, the Department of Mathematics & Statistics in collaboration with AkaChain (under FPT Software) organized a workshop entitled “Fundamentals of Blockchain Technology”. Blockchain is a quite hot keyword at present. However, not everyone can properly understand its true capabilities.
Attending the workshop were Dr. Nguyen Hoang Long, Chief Architect of Akachain, the presenter, Mr. Vu Van Dong, Director of FPT Software Quy Nhon together with lecturers in Applied Mathematics & Statistics of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, and Course 42 student of Applied Mathematics, majoring in Data Science.
Opening the seminar, Dr. Nguyen Hoang Long presented some basic knowledge of Blockchain Technology. He pointed out the defects of data storage in the traditional way that is still applied in many agencies, schools and businesses. Storage and security gaps make it imperative to find a new, more optimal way to store data. Blockchain is the best solution to this problem at the present time.

AkaChain is the way that FPT Software brings Blockchain technology closer to businesses and software developers in Vietnam. This platform has been used by a lot of businesses such as Masan, Baoviet Insurance, VP Bank, etc. to increase the safety of data security as well as promote non-cash payment activities.
Speaking at Workshop, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Cong Trinh, Dean of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, thanked Dr. Nguyen Hoang Long as well as AkaChain for their great efforts to organize the seminar, giving lecturers and students of the Department a basic knowledge of a type of technology that was of great interest related to the safety of data security and opening up a new opportunity for cooperation between the Department with AkaChain in the near future.
The diverse applications of Blockchain brought about exciting exchanges between speakers and lecturers and students of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics.These issues were also expected to provide suggestions for students' research projects based on AkaChain.
The seminar ended with the introduction of ideas of research topics that would be conducted by Course 42 students of Applied Mathematics under the sponsorship and co-supervision by AkaChain and lecturers of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics. This was considered to be the beginning of the training and research cooperation between the Department of Mathematics & Statistics with FPT Software in particular and businesses in general.
