Overview of the signing ceremony
In his welcoming speech at the ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Huynh Quyet Thang, representative of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, emphasized the importance of collaboration between leading educational and research institutions in addressing significant scientific challenges and training high-quality human resources for the country. Hanoi University of Science and Technology is committed to sharing resources and creating optimal conditions for these institutions to foster meaningful partnerships, leverage each party’s strengths for mutual development, and generate practical outcomes, thereby achieving breakthroughs in resolving current scientific and technological issues.
The goal of signing the cooperation agreement is to develop the four units into centers of excellence for graduate education in key fields, research on strategic technologies, and innovation in Vietnam and the region. The agreement aims to propose and implement breakthrough policies for scientific research and the transfer of strategic technologies, with close collaboration from the business sector.
Representatives of the 4 units: Faculty of Materials, Faculty of Chemistry and Life Sciences, Institute of Materials Science (Prof. Dr. Tran Dai Lam, President of IMS), Institute of Chemistry participated in the signing
During the introduction and exchange session, representatives of the parties proposed numerous practical cooperation initiatives, including opportunities for students and trainees to intern at laboratories, joint supervision of graduate students, co-leading scientific and technological projects, collaborative publication of research papers, coordinated organization of seminars, shared use of facilities, and especially the development of advanced materials, application of artificial intelligence, and addressing environmental challenges. Within this context, the parties emphasized extensive collaboration among the four units to maximize resource utilization and develop strategic technology platforms. This cooperation aims to effectively implement Resolution 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024, of the Politburo on breakthroughs in scientific development, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, while supporting and enhancing the mission and development strategies of each unit.
The main contents of the cooperation include training high-quality human resources at an advanced level through joint supervision, faculty exchange, and maximizing the strengths of each unit’s facilities in education. The collaboration also focuses on researching core technologies and developing strategic technological products linked with investment attraction and business partnerships, particularly through building strong interdisciplinary research teams. Priority areas encompass but are not limited to semiconductors, energy, new materials, biotechnology, chemistry, food, environment, and health science and technology. Additionally, the cooperation involves academic exchanges, network building, development of scientific projects and international technology transfer, as well as attracting international scientists for exchange and collaboration. The parties also commit to establishing joint communication activities and sharing information to support these initiatives.
Following the signing ceremony, the units will promptly initiate exchanges between research groups and scientists within the same fields to address specific challenges.
