Although operating entirely on a non-profit basis, the Open Knowledge Vietnam Project believes that every dedication brings corresponding development values to all participants. This companionship not only helps spread knowledge but also brings many practical benefits to individuals, schools, and businesses.
1. For Participating Individuals (Translators & Reviewers)
- Academic Credit: Your name will be formally honored in the contributor list (Credits) on the front pages of each published textbook. This is a permanent testament to your academic contribution.
- Capacity Certification: The project issues Community Contribution Certificates co-signed by an advisory board of reputable professors. This certificate is extremely useful for enhancing CVs for study-abroad scholarships or job applications.
- Personal Development: Improve academic English proficiency and deepen professional knowledge directly through translating international textbooks from Rice University.
- Practical Support: Opportunities to receive The Unbound Scholarship if you make active contributions and face financial difficulties.
2. For Universities, Colleges & Research Institutes
- Saving Resources: Own and legally use the entire localized international-standard textbook repository free of charge for teaching and referencing, reducing the cost and pressure of self-compilation.
- Enhancing Academic Standing: The academic reputation of the school is enhanced when lecturers and students directly participate in reviewing and labeling translation quality at a national scale.
