In his welcome remarks, Vice President Nguyen Canh Thai expressed his pleasure in receiving the delegation from NYCU to visit and work with Thuyloi University. He emphasized that the cooperative relationship between the two institutions has achieved encouraging progress in recent years. In particular, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in June between the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Thuyloi University, and the College of Engineering, NYCU, marked an important milestone and laid a solid foundation for the implementation of concrete collaborative activities in the future.
Building on this foundation, the current meeting provided an opportunity for both sides to engage in in-depth discussions on expanding cooperation in the next phase. The two universities explored the possibility of broadening collaboration beyond the faculty level, gradually moving toward larger-scale, interdisciplinary, and long-term partnership programs.
Đại diện lãnh đạo Khoa Công trình, Khoa Điện-Điện tử và Khoa Cơ Khí của Nhà trường cũng đề xuất các nội dung hợp tác tiềm năng với NYCU như tăng cường trao đổi giảng viên và sinh viên; phối hợp xây dựng và triển khai các chương trình trao đổi ngắn hạn, dài hạn; hợp tác đưa sinh viên tham gia các chương trình thực tập và nghiên cứu tại NYCU. Bên cạnh đó, hai bên cũng đặc biệt quan tâm đến khả năng hợp tác trong lĩnh vực bán dẫn, bao gồm đào tạo nguồn nhân lực, nghiên cứu khoa học, chuyển giao tri thức và nâng cao năng lực nghiên cứu trong các lĩnh vực liên quan như vi điện tử, thiết kế vi mạch khoa học vật liệu.
Representatives from Faculty of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Thuyloi University proposed several potential areas of cooperation with NYCU. These include strengthening faculty and student exchanges; jointly developing and implementing short-term and long-term exchange programs; and facilitating student participation in internships and research programs at NYCU. In addition, both sides showed particular interest in collaboration in the field of semiconductors, including human resource development, scientific research, knowledge transfer, and capacity building in related areas such as microelectronics, integrated circuit (IC) design, and materials science.
The two universities also agreed to promote joint research activities through the co-implementation of research projects and scientific initiatives; the co-organization of international academic conferences and workshops; and the establishment of an open academic environment that enables faculty members and students from both institutions to exchange expertise, share research experience, and access emerging trends in science and technology.
As part of the program, representatives from NYCU delivered an information session to Thuyloi University students, introducing the international learning environment at NYCU’s College of Engineering. The scholarship presentation for international students attracted significant interest from TLU students. The session was lively, with numerous questions regarding admission requirements, academic programs, research opportunities, and career prospects after graduation, demonstrating students’ strong interest in and aspiration to participate in international exchange, study, and research programs.
At the conclusion of the meeting, both sides highly appreciated the discussion outcomes and agreed to maintain regular communication and close coordination to gradually implement the agreed cooperation initiatives in the coming period. The visit and working session of the NYCU delegation marked a promising step forward in enhancing collaboration in education, scientific research, and the development of high-quality human resources.
