🤝 VNUK Meets with HSIA to Foster Semiconductor Industry Collaboration
To advance the strategy of training high-quality human resources for the semiconductor industry – a key sector of the future – the Vietnam-UK Institute for Research and Executive Education (VNUK), University of Danang, recently met with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Văn Hiếu, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Semiconductor Industry Association (HSIA) and Deputy Director of the Intellectual Property & Technology Transfer Center, VNU-HCM.
During the meeting, Dr. Hiếu introduced HSIA as a hub connecting training institutions, research bodies, and enterprises in the semiconductor field. Dr. Đặng Trung Thành, Head of Academic Affairs at VNUK, shared the institute’s vision and strengths in high-tech education, including IC design, nanotechnology, and materials science, alongside the advantage of English-medium instruction to prepare students for global careers.
Both sides agreed to move forward with a collaboration plan, focusing on launching IC design training programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels starting in 2025. Through HSIA’s enterprise network, VNUK students will gain access to internships, site visits, career orientation, and expanded job opportunities in semiconductors while still studying.
This meeting marks a key step in strengthening ties between academia, industry, and professional organizations, contributing to building a semiconductor-focused education and research ecosystem in the Central and Central Highlands regions.
