About
ACROSS (Advanced Computational Research On Sustainability Science) is an International Joint Laboratory established by the French Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD)/ UMMISCO, Thuy Loi University (TLU), Hanoi Architectural University (HAU) and Toulouse Computer Science Research Institute (IRIT) to design modeling and simulation tools in support of a scientific approach to sustainability in the management of irrigation systems in Vietnam.
During its existence (starting from 2021), ACROSS will promote a progressive, problem-oriented methodology to organize the contributions of scientists, students and practitioners into different research activities applied successively to four case studies (Bac Hung Hai in the Red River Delta, Ta Trach in the center, Dak Lak in the highlands and Duc Hoa in the Mekong Delta, which represent the diversity of Vietnam in terms of agricultural regions, socio-environmental conditions and water problems). Its research activities are also applied in different projects of various sectors.
