On August 21, 2025, the VN-UK Institute for Research and Education (VNUK) had the honor of welcoming Dr. Nguyễn Hải An, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Biotechnology Center (HCMBiotech), during his visit and work at the Institute.

On behalf of VNUK, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Giang Thị Kim Liên, Vice Dean, introduced the history of the Institute’s formation and its pioneering orientation in training in new technology fields, including Biomedical Science, Material Technology (with a specialization in Nano Technology), and Biotechnology.

During the meeting, Dr. Lê Hoàng Sinh, Head of the Department of Science and Technology, shared information about previous collaborations and proposed directions for interdisciplinary research and training development in the coming period. On the partner side, Dr. Nguyễn Hải An emphasized the research strengths of the Center, including biomedical science, genetic technology, biomaterials, and sustainable agriculture.

Both sides exchanged and agreed on several specific areas of cooperation, including:

• Drafting contents for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as the foundation for long-term collaborative activities.

• Exchanging scientific profiles (CVs) of lecturers and researchers to identify common strengths and build collaborative research topics.

• Establishing an interdisciplinary research team, connecting experts from both institutions.

• Collaborating to develop science experiences and STEM education for students at various levels to inspire, ignite research passion, and guide career paths.

• Specifically, promoting research and applying scientific results to production, business, and technology transfer, creating practical connections for all three training fields at VNUK: Economics & Business, Science & Technology, and Information Technology.

This event marks an important milestone in the collaboration between VNUK and the Ho Chi Minh City Biotechnology Center, opening up new opportunities to combine research, training, and application, contributing to innovation, sustainable development, and the training of high-quality human resources.
