“A university’s reputation should not be measured solely by its scale of enrollment, but by the intellectual value embedded in its scientific research, the number of patents it creates, the technologies it develops, and its tangible contributions to the economy.” This statement was highlighted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dao Ngoc Chien, Director of the National Foundation for Science and Technology Development, at the celebration of Vietnam Science and Technology Day held on May 15, 2026 at Hanoi University of Industry.

The Faculty of Garment-Textile Technology and Fashion Design at Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI), in collaboration with Thagaco International Investment Joint Stock Company, organized a workshop on career opportunities for students in the era of smart manufacturing.

As Vietnam implements major policies on educational reform, including the national initiative to position English as a second language in schools for the 2025–2035 period with a vision toward 2045, improving the quality of English language teaching and learning has become a key priority. English is increasingly regarded not only as a means of communication but also as a tool for accessing knowledge and supporting international integration.

On April 17 in Hai Phong, Vietnam Industry and Trade Union launched Workers’ Month and the Month of Action on Occupational Safety and Health 2026, alongside a science and technology exhibition featuring innovative products from across the sector. The event aimed to promote innovation, enhance productivity, and reinforce the importance of safe and sustainable working environments.

In a technology-driven economy, not all academic disciplines will hold the same relevance in the future. Competitive advantage is increasingly determined not by the capacity to manufacture products, but by the ability to develop the technologies behind them. Fields such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, advanced materials, biotechnology, and energy are becoming the pillars of the next generation of industries.

Hanoi University of Industry has announced a major expansion of its educational offerings for the 2026 to 2027 academic year. HaUI will enroll students across 72 full time undergraduate programs, prominently featuring five new majors in cutting edge technology sectors and 15 programs taught entirely in English.

As air pollution becomes an increasingly urgent challenge in urban and industrial areas, developing domestic capabilities in environmental monitoring technology holds significant scientific and practical importance. In response to this need, Dr. Nguyen Van Thien and his research team at Hanoi University of Industry undertook a ministerial-level project assigned by the Ministry of Industry and Trade: “Research and design of a large-scale AQI monitoring system based on LoRa/IoT technology,” implemented from April 2021 to December 2022, with the goal of developing a commercially viable solution.

On the morning of January 6, 2026, Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI) held a ceremony to announce the decision to establish 01 Strong Research Group and 11 Potential Research Groups.
