GD&TĐ - On July 3, the Director of VNU signed Decision No. 3436/QD-VNU on the pilot issuance of the Visiting Professor Program at VNU.

The Visiting Professor Program aims to invite and recognize about 100 outstanding scientists , experts, and prestigious scholars at home and abroad to participate in teaching, research, and knowledge transfer at VNU in the period of 2026-2031. This is not only a breakthrough effort in attracting talent but also a way for VNU to create a high-quality academic network, promote international academic culture, and develop a team of young lecturers and researchers.

Through the Program, visiting professors will participate in in-depth teaching, organize seminars, workshops, and co-supervise PhD students, master's students, and talented students. At the same time, they also play an important role in developing strong research groups, key laboratories, excellent research centers at VNU level, and promoting international publications.

The selection criteria are strict and the priority is strategic. Individuals appointed and recognized as visiting professors must have the academic title of professor, associate professor or be leading experts in their field, with outstanding achievements in research, teaching and knowledge transfer. Candidates must commit to teaching and researching at VNU in person or online, accompanying the development strategy of the University for a long time.

Top priority is given to scientists working in key technology fields that VNU is focusing on investing in the 2025–2035 period, such as: Semiconductor Chip Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, Robotics and Automation Technology, Advanced Biomedical Technology, Quantum Technology, Energy and Advanced Materials Technology, Smart Agriculture , and Environmental Technology and Sustainable Development.

Visiting professors enjoy many benefits such as remuneration based on workload, support for accommodation costs, use of research facilities and honors from VNU. At the same time, they are responsible for complying with the regulations of the State and the University, proactively implementing work plans and making specific contributions to training and research activities at the receiving units.

Visiting professors play a role not only in teaching but also as a companion in innovation, promoting international cooperation, providing academic advice and inspiring the younger generation. They will be an important bridge between VNU and domestic and foreign universities, research institutes and enterprises, contributing to expanding the academic network, internship opportunities, scholarships and international research cooperation.
