The scientific space complex located in the coastal town of Quy Nhon (Binh Dinh) has a space model house, a science museum, and an astronomical observatory.
The scientific space complex is designed according to a unique circular block, in harmony with the unspoiled nature in Quy Hoa valley (Binh Dinh).
The first scientific space complex in Vietnam was built on an area of 12.6 hectares in Quy Hoa valley, Ghenh Rang ward (Quy Nhon city). In July 2015, the complex started construction with the aim of arousing people’s love of science, especially the young generation.
Architect Jean Francois Milou (Singapore) is the designer, including the space model house, science museum and astronomical observatory. After choosing many options, Binh Dinh agreed to choose the plan of round house in harmony with the landscape.
Mr. Tran Trung Quan, Technical Director of the Scientific Space Complex, said that this is a great ” rendezvous point” that ignites the passion for discovery, helping students and young people learn better science subjects at school.
The complex is built in the middle of an ideal natural space, surrounded by mountains and next to the sea. Students come here to explore science and can participate in extracurricular activities.
Professor Ngo Bao Chau commented on the construction of the cluster of works. According to GS Chau, this complex needs to be invested with high technology in robots, multi-dimensional telescopes and light interference simulating vivid space. He believes that when completed, this place will be an attractive destination attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists.

Professor Van, together with Prof. Rolf Heuer, General Director of the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN), volunteered to call on international friends to support equipment for the Scientific Space Complex in Quy Nhon.
According to Mr. Tran Chau, Vice Chairman of Binh Dinh Provincial People’s Committee, after three years of construction, the items have been completed.
The installation of equipment for 4 rooms for introduction and teaching of science subjects has been completed. Experts and contractors are continuing to estimate and research to continue to install additional equipment for 7 rooms and build the Astronomical Observatory.
The model of a linear accelerator for teaching students has just been installed. Leaders of Binh Dinh province explained that the complex is a particularly new project in Vietnam in terms of design and construction techniques. During the project implementation, the design consultancy consortium in Vietnam had to adjust the design of many items, so the total project investment capital increased. From the initial investment of 110 billion VND, up to now, the total capital has increased to nearly 200 billion VND. By the end of this year, the cluster of works is expected to come into operation.
The view from the main hall of the Cosmos House and Museum overlooks the landscaped garden. Professor Tran Thanh Van and his wife proposed that Professor Ngo Bao Chau call his friends to design and build a model of “Mathematician” about 1,000 m2 in this complex. Professor Chau accepted the promise and promised to join hands.
Panorama of the Center for International Science and Interdisciplinary Education (ICISE) in harmony with the natural landscape is in the complex planning designed by architect Milou. Every year, this center attracts hundreds of world-renowned scientists, especially Nobel Prize-winning researchers, to come here to work and create motivation, great opportunities to arouse the passion for science for young Vietnamese. .
