UEH celebrates its 45th anniversary - Toward Future University

26 Jul, 2021

In celebrating UEH’s 45th anniversary (October 27, 1976 - October 27, 2021) with the theme “UEH Toward Future University”, Microsite 45 years has officially been launched and gone live for access. This site is where communities of scientists, researchers, business organizations, and even individuals can come together alongside UEH to promote the sharing of knowledge, civility, and other comprehensive educational values to the public.

This year’s 45th milestone signifies the start to a great journey Toward Future UEH University.

Unlike previous anniversary celebratory rituals, “Toward Future University” is this year’s new and unique central theme where not only do we honor past achievements and show appreciation to meaningful contributors of UEH, it also marks an important turning point for the university as we embark on university-wide restructuring, advancing UEH into the new age. Professor Nguyen Phong Phong, Chairman of UEH University Council shared, “With ‘Toward Future University’, UEH hopes to continue to be a top-of-mind companion choice in the global higher education community through our diverse participation in various multidisciplinary activities. From there, we aspire to become a reputable and prestigious multidisciplinary university within Asia by 2030.”

The future UEH University is oriented towards the model of a multi-disciplinary university, which is a popular trend in the world, helping to promote research and training capacity to meet the diverse needs of the market, gaining access to great training, research and consulting projects. Developing multidisciplinary universities will facilitate participation in international rankings, elevating the position of Vietnamese higher education institutions on the world map. This is also an opportunity for the university to increase cooperation and connection through effective exploitation of scientific research, applied research, research transfer, timely update and the spread of new knowledge to the community and society.

The program "Community Connection - Spreading Knowledge" - An opportunity for individuals and organizations to connect, share and receive academic and intellectual values

Having been launched since UEH’s 44th anniversary (October 27, 2020), the program “Connecting Community - Spreading Knowledge” aims to gather and promote the strength in resources of the 5 entities: university - state - scientist - business - community, connecting through the 4 topics: Connect to train and apply; Connect to conduct scientific research; Connect to attract young talents; and Connect to contribute to “UEH Connecting Community - Speaking Knowledge” Fund. More especially, the UEH Fund is also implemented with 3 main focuses: (1) Nurturing future generations through “Talent Development” and “Fostering Dreams” scholarships for excellent students and students under difficult circumstances respectively; (2) Reaching towards international standards to accompany and provide opportunities to talented lecturers and students who wish to embark on a journey abroad; (3) Sharing further knowledge through the accompanying and sponsoring of various university-level activities, such as scientific seminars, workshops, student activities, etc. With this program, UEH hopes that individual contributors, along with business organizations can continue to work alongside the university to further ignite the fire and passion in UEH generations, promising a more dynamic and prosperous future for the university in the coming days.

The program "Community Connection - Spreading Knowledge" was launched during the 44th anniversary of UEH's establishment (October 27, 2020) and continues to develop in the coming period.

A 45-year story – Reflecting on a journey’s past
