The College of Business Research Programme 2026 (COBRP 2026) is a scientific research competition organized by the Youth Union Executive Committee of UEH College of Business to promote student research activities at the College of Business, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH); foster students’ scientific research capabilities; contribute to improving the quality of student learning; and select outstanding student research projects to represent UEH at research competitions and awards at various levels.
Building on the success of 2025, COBRP 2026 continued to attract a large number of students with a wide range of research ideas. Through a rigorous and impartial evaluation process, the Jury selected outstanding research projects to advance to the subsequent rounds. More than an academic competition, COBRP 2026 contributed to fostering a dynamic academic environment where students could learn, exchange ideas, and gradually strengthen their research capabilities.
One of the highlights of COBRP 2026 was the Presentation Round, where student teams directly presented their research findings before the Jury. During this round, the teams had the opportunity to present their research process, clarify their findings, and engage in discussions with the Jury on matters related to their projects. The round also provided an opportunity for students to demonstrate their preparation, research thinking, presentation skills, and ability to respond to questions and defend their research before the Jury.
At the Award Ceremony, memorable moments from the COBRP 2026 Presentation Round were revisited through a video, allowing delegates, faculty members, and students to look back on the process through which the teams conducted and presented their research projects. These moments captured the preparation, dedication, and efforts of the teams throughout the process of completing their research.
