Hanoi University of Science and Technology and IEEE Forge International Academic Connections

On July 29, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, through the Science and Technology Office, coordinated with the IEEE Vietnam Section to organize the Program "Pathways Forward with Technology Talent and the Global IEEE Community". The program brought together top leaders of IEEE - the world's largest technical professional organization - along with international experts, reflecting the shared commitment of scientists in promoting engineering, technology, innovation, and international cooperation.

Delivering the opening speech of the program, Prof. Vu Van Yem - Vice President of Hanoi University of Science and Technology - emphasized the role of talent training in contributing to the economic and technological development of Vietnam. He affirmed: "Today, Hanoi University of Science and Technology continues to transform into an advanced research university with global aspirations. The mission of HUST does not stop at training excellent engineers, but we strive to create future researchers and leaders - those who not only possess outstanding technical capacity but also have creativity, integrity, a global vision, and a high sense of social responsibility."
  Research and innovation are the main pillars in the development strategy of Hanoi University of Science and Technology. Every year, HUST lecturers publish thousands of scientific articles in leading international journals. In parallel, the University's students also actively participate in research projects right from their early university years. Through strong partnerships with universities, research institutes, enterprises, and international organizations, Hanoi University of Science and Technology continues to expand the global influence of Vietnamese research.

However, in the context of strong and continuous digital transformation, where clean energy and sustainable development are becoming global priorities, universities need to solve the problem of training future engineers with a solid foundational knowledge and the ability to communicate internationally effectively, work in multidisciplinary teams, think critically, innovate responsibly, and continuously learn throughout their careers.
  In addition, engineers must be connected to global professional communities where ideas are exchanged, standards are developed, and future technologies are created. To do that, organizations like IEEE play an extremely important role. The program "Pathways Forward with Technology Talent and the Global IEEE Community" by IEEE is an opportunity for lecturers, scientists, Ph.D. candidates, trainees, and students to discuss new trends in science and technology, expand international academic connections, and explore opportunities for research cooperation and career development within the global IEEE network.
  Ms. Mary Ellen Randall - IEEE President 2026 spoke at the program: "The future of Vietnam will be shaped by engineers and scientists. IEEE is always here to support the development and spread the influence of scientists, lecturers, and especially students of Hanoi University of Science and Technology."

At the program, internationally prestigious scholars presented research on topics such as: Trends in science, technology, and human resource development in the global era; Career orientation for young engineers and researchers; Skills for writing articles and international publication; Opportunities to join academic networks and IEEE communities globally; Opportunities for research cooperation, developing international conferences, and connecting with IEEE Societies.
  The program consisted of 5 parts with 6 topics from 6 international speakers. Opening the presentation session, Mr. Drew Lowery, Vice President-Elect of IEEE Member and Geographic Activities (MGA), shared on the topic "Finding your home".

Also during the event, Prof. Vu Van Yem specially introduced a presentation titled "How to write a high-quality academic paper for conference presentation."
  Conducting and publishing high-quality scientific research has become one of the most important competencies for researchers worldwide. A scientific paper is not merely a report of research results but also demonstrates the presentation of evidence in a rigorous and logical manner. Most importantly, scientific papers contribute new knowledge that helps advance science and brings benefits to society.
  The program took place with great success. The professional contents, networking activities, and academic exchanges contributed to strengthening the cooperation between Hanoi University of Science and Technology and international partners, while opening up more learning and research opportunities for HUST students and lecturers.

IEEE - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is the world's largest non-profit professional organization in technical fields. This organization plays an important role in developing technology, publishing research documents, and building global technical standards. IEEE develops internationally recognized technical standards and publishes many of the world's most influential scientific journals. With experience in organizing thousands of conferences every year, IEEE creates opportunities for learning, cooperation, innovation, and career development.
