Associate Professor Bui Phu Doanh also affirmed that HUCE always proactively renews itself, bringing the practical spirit of the industrial revolution into the classroom. Through this, the university is committed to taking scientific knowledge off the paper and directly solving practical problems of the automotive industry in general, and electric vehicles in particular. At the same time, this milestone opens up a strategy for high-level training and research for students and lecturers in the university's leading fields such as Automotive, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Automation, and related Information Technology.

During the meeting, the two sides discussed many specific areas of cooperation. VinFast expressed its desire to contribute to and update training programs to align with new technological trends; send experts to teach and share practical experience; and collaborate in organizing specialized seminars, technology innovation competitions, and academic activities for lecturers and students. In addition, VinFast shared its significant need for high-quality technical personnel in research and development, quality control, production, and operations. The company hopes to partner with universities in training engineers with practical skills, innovative thinking, and the ability to adapt to new technologies.

Representatives from HUCE and its partners signed the Cooperation Agreement.

Through the MOU, HUCE also demonstrates a strong commitment to high-tech applied research, in which HUCE will receive assignments from the field, directly undertaking projects and technical problems from VinFast to research, optimize, and provide solutions/products directly applicable to the development of VinFast electric vehicles; organize high-level scientific seminars to update technology trends in the Automotive Engineering industry for staff from both sides, along with other support. e;c technology innovation competitions stimulate students' design and manufacturing thinking from their time in school.

One area of particular interest to both sides is expanding internship programs, business experiences, and student recruitment. VinFast will facilitate HUCE students' participation in real-world projects, access to cutting-edge technology, and the opportunity to become full-time employees after their internships. Both sides also agreed to strengthen cooperation in scientific research and the development of technological solutions to serve the automotive and electric vehicle industries in the future.

Concluding the meeting, representatives from both units affirmed that they would soon concretize the agreed-upon contents through training programs, scientific research, internships, scholarships, and recruitment. The specialized units of both sides will coordinate in developing implementation plans to ensure the effectiveness and practicality of the cooperation activities.

Becoming an engineering student at HUCE today means you hold a passport to the global electric vehicle technology era. The university's capabilities, combined with resources from market-leading businesses like VinFast, will transform innovative ideas from the classroom into green movements around the world!
