Tripartite Cooperation Integrating Training, Research, and Business

On April 22, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Sungkyungwan University and K-Water (Korea) signed an MoU, marking the beginning of a strategic partnership—one that brings together academic excellence, technological innovation, and industrial leadership to address critical global challenges.

As the world faces increasing pressure on water resources, environmental sustainability, and rapid technological transformation, no institution can act alone. Real solutions require strong, effective collaboration between universities and industry.
  This partnership between HUST, SKKU, and K-water reflects that direction clearly and decisively.

At the ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Huynh Quyet Thang, President of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, shared: “At Hanoi University of Science and Technology, we strongly believe in integrating education, research, and industry as the most effective model for innovation. With SKKU’s academic strength and K-water’s extensive operational expertise, this collaboration has all the conditions needed to generate meaningful and scalable outcomes.”
  At the same time, Assoc. Prof. Huynh Quyet Thang also emphasized an important opportunity for expansion. Both SKKU and HUST have strong capabilities in semiconductor education and research. This opens a promising direction for extending our cooperation into semiconductors and other high-tech industries.

Hanoi University of Science and Technology sees strong potential in developing joint training programs, collaborative research, and industry-linked initiatives in areas such as microelectronics, advanced materials, and smart technologies. This will not only deepen the partnership but also contribute to the future industrial development of both countries.

For Hanoi University of Science and Technology, this cooperation is fully aligned with the strategic vision—strengthening international partnerships while advancing innovation and sustainability. "We are committed to actively implementing this MoU through concrete programs and impactful initiatives." - affirmed the President of Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

Professor Yujibeom Yoo, President of Sungkyunkwan University, expressed his appreciation for the warm welcome from Hanoi University of Science and Technology. He hoped that this MoU would create strong cooperation in many fields.
  Professor Yujibeom Yoo said: “We are very interested in the talented students of Hanoi University of Science and Technology. I hope that graduates from Hanoi University of Science and Technology can continue their studies at Sungkyunkwan University for a few years before returning to Vietnam to contribute and work. They will become a bridge between the two institutions in particular and the two countries in general.”

Mr. Park Sang Young, CEO of Korea Water Resources Corporation, shared: “As a leading provider of smart water management technology, we offer solutions for treating and distributing clean water and renewable energy based on digital data. We are committed to providing all the necessary information and conditions to ensure our cooperation yields the best results.”
  He also expressed his confidence that, with a shared vision and strong commitment, this collaboration will develop into a long-term, effective, and far-reaching partnership.
  Through this MoU, we establish a practical and forward-looking framework for cooperation in advanced water technologies, joint research, human resource development, and academic exchange. More importantly, it creates a bridge between knowledge and application—between research and real-world impact.
