For the first time, a chemistry seminar will be held by overseas Vietnamese in Paris, France, on November 7-8.

The event, being co-organized by the Vietnamese Students Association in France and the community of Vietnamese chemists in Europe, is expected to draw the participation of more than 100 scientists, including leading professors, lecturers and postgraduates.

There are about 300,000 intellectuals out of the nearly three million overseas Vietnamese. Most of them live in France, the US and Australia.
