Prof. Haldane is known for a wide variety of fundamental contributions to condensed matter physics including the theory of Luttinger liquids, the theory of one-dimensional spin chains, the theory of fractional quantum hall effect, etc.
On December 2021, the 76th United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed 2022 as the International year of basic sciences for sustainable development (IYBSSD2022) in order to emphasize the crucial role of basic sciences in reaching the 2030 agenda and its 17 sustainable goals.
The inauguration of the IYBSSD2022 will be taken on the Saturday, July 9, 2022 at UNESCO headquarter in Paris, France.
Thus, Prof. Haldane lecture marks an excellent inauguration of the IYBSSD2022 in Vietnam, right after the official inauguration worldwide.
