Throughout the university’s 45 years of storied establishment and development, UEH continues to affirm its highly respected standing in Vietnam’s higher education sector, but also internationally as well. As one of 14 key public universities, UEH currently pioneers in economics and management in the nation. The next five years between 2021 and 2025 will be a significant phase for UEH in implementing its strategic goals for restructuring as the university proceeds to achieve its grand ambition of becoming a multi- disciplinary and sustainable university.

The academic and professional workforce at UEH are more than just citizens; they are active global participants in the cause of sustainable development through art inspiration and social contribution. Upon implementing the new multidisciplinary university governance model, and in launching UEH College of Technology and Design, the University Board of Management have done their due diligence to ensure a high-quality group of young talents and working professionals. It is precisely here that each and every UEH member is constantly pushed beyond their limits in order to acquire new skills and knowledge, adapt to new technologies, and become trailblazers in the multidisciplinary approach and incorporation of technology and its technical knowledge in the harmonious and flexible use of economics and management best practices so as to exercise changes and breakthroughs that allow us to more quickly adapt to the present day.

UEH’s first-ever listing in International Journals and Conference

UEH Institute of Innovation (UII) takes the lead in innovation and technological integration in working, learning and teaching. Since 2021, the UII has expanded their academic curriculum with new coursework in Technology and Innovation to help UEH students stay abreast with the latest changes and trends of the world in the new digital age. UII team has made every considerable effort in researching and incorporating new technology across different disciplines, most notably the science of Human-Computer Interaction, or HCI. This past July and August, UEH received its first-ever recognition for having 01 article listed in an international journal and 02 international conferences centering on HCI. These are namely ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology 2021 (VRST) and ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces Conference 2021 (ACM ISS 2021).

The ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology conference (VRST)² is an annual international forum aiming to exchange experience and knowledge between researchers and developers related to VR/AR software and technology. VRST is a gathering of international research teams working together on XR, as well as a number of world-leading companies supplying or using the XR system. VRST 2021 will be organized, in hybrid mode, in Osaka, Japan, hosted by Osaka University between December 8 – 10, 2021. The representative of UEH Institute of Innovation is a member of the Board of Review and  will be evaluating 06 research papers participating in the conference. 

ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces Conference 2021 (ACM ISS 2021)³ will take place in Łódź (Poland) from November 14^th to 17^th,  2021. ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces is the place to be, to learn about the design, development and use of new and growing interactive surface technologies and spaces. This conference, also in hybrid form, will be held in Łódź, Poland’s third largest city where it exudes vibrancy and electrifies in a multi-cultural atmosphere. The live sessions will take place at at EC1b – a 19^th-century power plant that was reconstructed into a center for science and assembly.
