strategy
is
built
on
two
core
pillars:
enhancing
academic
and
research
infrastructure
to
international
standards
and
strengthening
academic
capacity
to
meet
global
benchmarks.
The
University
will
focus
on
five
strategic
research
domains:
(1)
Brain,
Artificial
Intelligence
and
Robotics;(2)
Health
Sciences;
(3)
Environmental
Intelligence;
(4)
Intelligent
Computing
and
Data
Science;
and
(5)
Policy
Development
and
Sustainable
Societies.
In terms of infrastructure, Vingroup has pledged up to USD 372 million in funding for this new phase. Of this, approximately USD 60 million will be allocated to expanding the campus, including new auditoriums, dormitories, sports facilities, and cutting-edge laboratories. Student enrollment will increase from 1,500 to 5,000, nearly half of whom will be postgraduate students—laying the foundation for VinUni’s evolving research-intensive environment. A highlight of this expansion is the establishment of the VinUni Industry, Innovation and Research Complex on campus— an integrated research center that will house advanced technology laboratories, incubation for university-industry partnership, and a 1,000-seat international conference center. The facility is expected to regularly host over 600 scientists.
VinUni’s
cutting-edge
laboratories
are
purpose-built
to
enhance
both
education
and
scientific
research.
At
this
complex,
R&D
professionals
from
industry,
including
subsidiaries
of
Vingroup
—such
as
VinFast,
Vinmec,
VinBigData,
VinRobotics,
and
VinMotion—will
collaborate
with
VinUni
faculty
members
and
students
in
co-innovation
studios.
Together,
they
will
develop
high-impact,
application-oriented
research
with
strong
commercialization
potential,
fueled
by
an
entrepreneurial
mindset.
In parallel, VinUni will strengthen international academic partnerships with leading institutions such as Cornell University (USA), the University of Pennsylvania (USA), and Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), as well as with leading Vietnamese universities. These partnerships will facilitate the formation of interdisciplinary RISE (Research, Innovation, Sustainability, and Excellence) research clusters, aimed at creating high-impact scholarly publications and tackling pressing issues at both the local and global levels.
To strengthen academic capacity, the institution is launching the “VinUni 500” program to recruit 500 top-tier scholars and researchers, including: 10 high-caliber academic leaders, 200 talented research-focused faculties, 200 outstanding early-career researchers, and 100 affiliated faculties.
To attract these scholars, VinUni will offer globally competitive remuneration and support packages. For instance, all faculty will receive a personal development grant of up to approximately USD 6,000 annually, and outstanding researchers may access seed funding of up to approximately USD 230,000.
Besides forging research and teaching excellence, “VinUni 500” serves as a bridge connecting the Vietnamese academics with international scholars as well as world-class scientists from the VinFuture Prize network—fostering impactful, cross-border research collaborations.
Dr. Le Mai Lan, President of The University Council, VinUniversity, shared: “VinUni is not just a university, but a vision to nurture a new generation of talent for the future. We believe that by building internal strength through talent-driven development, leveraging strong commitment from our founding ecosystem, and joining forces with local and global partners, VinUni will make meaningful contributions to the national development strategy in this era of Vietnam’s rise.”
Founded with the mission to build a world-class university in Vietnam, VinUni has, in just five years, emerged as a symbol of entrepreneurial spirit, agility, academic excellence, and global connectivity. It is the youngest university worldwide to achieve a QS 5-Star overall rating, affirming its accelerating progress in the global higher education landscape.
