The Chair of Thermodynamics has been involved in the training of engineers in Vietnam for ten years. The tenth anniversary of the Mechanical Engineering course at the Vietnamese-German University (VGU) was celebrated on 28 February.

Every three years, the International Symposium on Thermophysical Properties is organized in Boulder, Colorado. For our team, this is the central thermophysical properties conference. In 2024, 10 scientists of our team attended the conference.

Each year, the Ared Cezairiliyan Best Paper Award is awarded to the best paper in the International Journal of Thermophysics. This year, a paper authored by a team of scientists from the chair of thermodynamics of RUB and from the National Institute of Standards and Technology of the USA was selected for the award. The award ceremony took place at the International Symposium on Thermophysical Properties in Boulder, Colorado.
