The agreements were signed during an official visit to France by Prof. Dinh Thi Mai Thanh, Rector of USTH. She joined the delegation of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) accompanying General Secretary and President To Lam on his State visit to France.

UCBL is a member of the Consortium of French Universities and Research Institutes for the Development of USTH (USTH Consortium) and has long been one of USTH’s key partners in training and research. UCBL co-awards the Master’s degree in Biotechnology with USTH and sends lecturers to the University each year to contribute to teaching and university governance. Prof. Raphaël Terreux, Vice-President of UCBL, previously served as Deputy Director of USTH’s Department of Life Sciences and currently serves as Deputy Director of USTH’s Department of Medicine and Pharmacy. With its strong expertise in medicine, pharmacy, and health sciences, UCBL is an important partner in USTH’s strategy to develop these fields.

Under the Letter of Intent, USTH, UCBL and HCL agreed to establish a tripartite framework for training and research in health sciences, with a particular focus on medicine and pharmacy. The partnership is designed to draw on the strengths of the three institutions: UCBL will contribute its academic expertise and experience in medical and pharmaceutical training; HCL will provide professional practice and clinical research environments; and USTH will develop new training programmes in medicine, pharmacy and related health fields, while strengthening links with VAST’s research ecosystem and hospitals in Vietnam.

At the same ceremony, USTH and UCBL signed an MOU to turn these shared priorities into specific areas of cooperation. The two universities agreed to promote student and lecturer exchanges; develop a double-degree Master’s program in Pharmacy; support USTH in preparing and developing training programs in Nursing, Nutrition and Public Health; jointly train and co-supervise doctoral candidates; undertake collaborative research projects; organise scientific conferences and seminars; and share teaching and learning resources.

The agreements were signed shortly after USTH established the Department of Medicine and Pharmacy in June 2026, marking a new phase in the University’s strategy to expand training in healthcare.

USTH expects strengthened cooperation with UCBL and HCL to provide substantial support in accessing international expertise to develop new academic programs, enhance capacity, organize research activities, and connect training with professional practice.

Turning the agreements into initiatives

To begin implementing the agreements, the USTH delegation visited UCBL’s Faculty of Pharmacy, the HCL Esquirol Nursing Training Institute (Institut de formation en soins infirmiers HCL Esquirol – IFSI), and Édouard Herriot Hospital.

The visits to IFSI HCL Esquirol and Édouard Herriot Hospital gave USTH valuable insight into the training of healthcare professionals within the French university hospital system. These experiences serve as an important reference for USTH as we aim to develop the Department of Medicine and Pharmacy toward a School of Health Sciences, drawing on the University’s resources, support from VAST, and the domestic and international partner network, particularly the French partners.

During the visit, the USTH delegation held discussions with Prof. Raphaël Terreux, Vice-President of UCBL and Deputy Director of USTH’s Department of Medicine and Pharmacy; Prof. Claude Dussart, Dean of UCBL’s Faculty of Pharmacy; Mr Arnaud Barras, Director of IFSI HCL Esquirol, Director of Nursing and General Coordinator of HCL’s Nursing Training Institutes; and Prof. Anne-Claire Lukaszewicz, a UCBL faculty member, clinician and head of a specialist unit at Édouard Herriot Hospital.

The discussions focused on developing a double-degree Master’s program in Pharmacy, with teaching contributions from French professors. The two universities will compare their curricula and consider recognising USTH’s five-year Pharmacy program as equivalent to the first year of UCBL’s Master’s programme (M1). This pathway would allow eligible students to progress to the second year of the Master’s programme (M2) and graduate with Master’s degrees from both USTH and UCBL.

UCBL and HCL will also work with USTH to develop Nursing and Nutrition training programs, with academic and professional contributions from their university professors and hospital physicians.

Representing UPC at the ceremony were Prof. Édouard Kaminski, President; Prof. Matthieu Resche-Rigon, Dean of the Faculty of Health; Prof. Valérie Serre, Vice-Dean for International Relations at the Faculty of Science; and Prof. Patrice Coll, Vice-Dean for Research at the Faculty of Science. The USTH delegation included Prof. Dinh Thi Mai Thanh, Rector, and Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Thi Van Anh, lecturer at the Department of Medicine and Pharmacy.

The event marked a new milestone in the strategic partnership between USTH and UPC, extending their cooperation into medicine, pharmacy, and health sciences on the foundation of the outstanding achievements the two institutions have made together in education and research.

Cooperation between USTH and UPC is also embedded in the broader partnership between VAST, USTH’s governing body, and UPC. On May 27, 2025, VAST and UPC signed a Memorandum of Understanding during the State visit to Vietnam by French President Emmanuel Macron. Building on this foundation, USTH and UPC have actively exchanged views, identified priority areas, and developed concrete cooperation initiatives in education and research.

Strengthening cooperation between education and research in medicine, pharmacy and health sciences

UPC is one of France’s leading universities. It holds a distinctive position in medicine, pharmacy, and health sciences, having inherited and further developed the achievements of Paris Descartes University, also known as Paris V, formerly one of France’s foremost institutions for education and research in these fields. USTH expects the partnership with UPC to provide valuable access to international expertise in university governance, curriculum development, faculty capacity building, research management, and quality assurance.

The Letter of Intent was signed shortly after USTH established its Department of Medicine and Pharmacy in June 2026. The Department plans to develop programs in Pharmaceutical Technology, Public Health, Nursing, and Nutrition while preparing the necessary conditions to launch a Medicine program.

Building on USTH’s strengths in science and technology, VAST’s research ecosystem, and the USTH Consortium—a network comprising leading French universities and research institutes—USTH intends to develop our training programs based on two philosophies. The first is to apply the latest advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, nuclear science and engineering, advanced materials and other scientific and technological fields to healthcare, to support more personalised approaches to health and medical care. The second is to harness Vietnam’s rich biodiversity to support healthcare solutions tailored to the needs of the Vietnamese population.

Speaking at the ceremony, Prof. Dinh Thi Mai Thanh, Rector of USTH, affirmed that the Letter of Intent opens a new direction of cooperation between USTH and UPC while continuing a partnership established during the early years of USTH. This field is particularly significant as Vietnam identifies science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation as strategic pillars of national development.

Prof. Dinh Thi Mai Thanh expressed confidence that the Letter of Intent would provide a foundation for the two institutions to co-develop academic programs, promote lecturer and student exchanges, and undertake collaborative research, thereby contributing to the advancement of medicine, pharmacy and healthcare in Vietnam. UPC is also expected to continue accompanying USTH in educating future generations of scientists and specialists in such key fields as biotechnology, materials science, space science, earth sciences and chemistry.

A strong foundation for cooperation in higher education and scientific research

Since USTH was established in 2009, UPC has been one of the founding members of the Consortium of French Universities and Research Institutes for the Development of USTH (USTH Consortium).

UPC has made important contributions to USTH’s development through five strategic pillars of cooperation: supporting lecturer training and capacity building; jointly awarding master’s degrees; sending professors to teach at USTH; receiving students at different levels for internships, academic exchanges, and co-supervised programs; and jointly undertaking research activities.

Two UPC professors currently serve as Co-Director and Deputy Director of USTH’s Department of Advanced Materials Science and Nanotechnology. Each year, approximately 20 UPC professors contribute to teaching, research, and quality assurance activities at USTH.

The two universities currently deliver double degree master’s programs in Space Science: Remote Sensing, Astrophysics and Satellite Technology and Advanced Materials Science and Nanotechnology. In 2026, USTH and UPC also signed cooperation documents on developing double degree bachelor’s programs in Chemistry and Biotechnology – Drug Discovery.

Student mobility has also been strongly promoted as a reciprocal, sustainable and mutually beneficial component of the partnership. In 2025, alongside receiving USTH students for internships, study and research in France, UPC sent 12 master’s students to USTH on academic exchange. This result provides clear evidence of the growing depth of the partnership and USTH’s increasingly prominent position within UPC’s international education and research network. Prof. Édouard Kaminski, President of UPC, affirmed that USTH is the university’s priority strategic partner in Vietnam for training and research.

In the coming period, USTH will continue to serve as a catalyst connecting UPC with research institutes under VAST to jointly develop research programs in areas where the parties possess strengths.

The Letter of Intent signed on September 11, 2026, provides a foundation for USTH and UPC to develop concrete cooperation activities, enhance the quality of training, strengthen research capacity, and create more exchange opportunities for lecturers and students. Through substantive, long-term programs, the two universities expect to strengthen ties between the two countries’ education and scientific communities, foster mutual understanding, and further deepen the friendship between Vietnam and France.

The exchange of the two cooperation agreements took place as part of General Secretary and President To Lam’s official visit to France, contributing to the concrete implementation of the Vietnam–France Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in science, technology, innovation, and the development of high-quality human resources.

In June 2025, VAST and CEA signed a Memorandum of Understanding during Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính’s visit to France, establishing a framework for cooperation in scientific research, technology transfer, and human resource development.

To implement the priorities set out in the Memorandum, USTH worked with two CEA entities—the French National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology (INSTN) and the Fundamental Research Division (DRF)—to develop and sign agreements on education, research and technology transfer. The agreements cover nuclear science and technology, new energy, hydrogen, semiconductors and other areas of shared interest.

The exchange of the agreements in the presence of General Secretary and President To Lam during his visit to CEA holds significant importance. It recognizes the cooperation outcomes achieved to date while reaffirming the commitment of both sides to further expand and deepen substantive cooperation, thereby making a positive contribution to scientific and higher education cooperation between Vietnam and France.

More than a decade of cooperation in energy and advanced materials research

Cooperation between USTH and CEA began to take shape in 2015 through research collaboration and connections between scientists from the two institutions. Their research groups have jointly undertaken a range of activities in energy conversion and storage, particularly hydrogen energy, as well as the design and fabrication of nanomaterials, including semiconductor materials.

Building on these initial results, USTH and CEA’s Fundamental Research Division (DRF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to formalize research cooperation among scientists and establish a foundation for further strengthening collaboration in energy, environment, materials science, and health sciences. Key areas of cooperation include joint supervision of Vietnamese–French doctoral programs (co-tutelle), lecturer and researcher exchanges, joint organization of scientific conferences and workshops, and opportunities for bachelor’s students, master’s students, and doctoral candidates to undertake internships and research at the laboratories of both institutions.

Mr. François Daviaud, Director of the Fundamental Research Division (DRF), and Prof. Dr. Dinh Thi Mai Thanh, President of USTH, exchanged the cooperation agreement.

An important link in this cooperation is the collaboration between USTH’s Research Group on Chemistry for Energy Conversion and Storage and CEA research units in Grenoble, including LCBM, SyMMES, and MEM. This collaboration has resulted in joint publications in leading international journals such as Nature Materials, the Journal of the American Chemical Society and ACS Energy Letters.

The two sides have also collaborated in doctoral training and supervision, researcher exchanges, and hosting students for internships. Currently, USTH’s Research Group on Chemistry for Energy Conversion and Storage and CEA Grenoble’s LCBM laboratory are co-leading an International Research Project on Hydrogen (IRP Hydrogen), aimed at developing technologies for green H₂ production.

The project was officially launched on February 17, 2025, and will run through the end of 2029, bringing together 26 Vietnamese and French researchers. Both sides expect the project to provide a solid foundation for developing a more ambitious cooperation structure in the future: an international collaborative laboratory focused on renewable energy.

Developing high-quality human resources in nuclear science and technology

Alongside research cooperation in new energy, USTH–CEA collaboration has expanded into education through the French National Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (INSTN), France’s leading national institution for education and training in the application of nuclear technologies, operated by CEA.

In line with Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in the development of science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, Vietnam is placing particular emphasis on developing high-quality human resources capable of adopting, mastering, and eventually developing strategic technologies. Against this backdrop, USTH and INSTN have signed a Framework Agreement on cooperation in education and training in nuclear science and engineering.

Mr. Pascal Yvon, Director of the National Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (INSTN), and Prof. Dinh Thi Mai Thanh, Rector of USTH, exchanged the cooperation agreement.

Under the agreement, INSTN will support USTH in developing and implementing training programs in nuclear science and engineering, as well as in training a core group of faculty members who will directly deliver and further develop these programs at USTH in the future. The two institutions will also collaborate on specialized training courses and the development of teaching and learning materials, while strengthening outreach efforts to attract talented students interested in nuclear science and technology.

In the initial phase, INSTN and its partner universities have agreed to accept outstanding USTH graduates in Chemistry and Materials Science for the International Master’s Program in Nuclear Engineering. The program is jointly delivered by INSTN and leading French universities, including Université Paris-Saclay and Chimie ParisTech, and is supported by major industrial groups such as EDF, Orano, and Framatome.

INSTN and USTH will work together to develop a suitable training program that can accommodate a larger number of students. Under this model, foundational training will be delivered in Vietnam, while advanced study, practical training, and research will be conducted in France.

As early as January 2027, INSTN will send experts to USTH to teach the first course in nuclear science and engineering to the University’s bachelor’s and master’s students.

At a time when Vietnam urgently needs highly qualified professionals in energy and nuclear engineering, cooperation between USTH and CEA will provide a pathway for Vietnam’s access to the knowledge, technologies, and training expertise in a field in which France is among the world’s leading countries in both science and industry.

The exchange of the agreements on September 11, 2026, in the presence of General Secretary and President To Lam, was particularly significant for USTH. It demonstrated the support of the Party and the State for the University’s development into an internationally oriented research institution operating in accordance with global standards.

Cooperation with CEA, one of France’s leading research organizations, is also compelling evidence of USTH’s growing standing within the international scientific community, particularly in France. The French Government has recognized USTH as the most successful of France’s higher education and research cooperation projects abroad (the Franco-X projects). USTH has become a trusted partner in Vietnam for major French universities, engineering schools, and research organizations such as CNRS, IRD, and CEA.

Established under an intergovernmental agreement between Vietnam and France and operating under VAST—Vietnam’s leading institution for scientific research and technology development—USTH will continue to serve as a bridge connecting universities, research organisations and businesses in both countries. Through this role, the University contributes to the sustainable development of scientific and higher education cooperation between Vietnam and France.

A Choice That Opened the Door to a Lasting Journey at USTH

In 2022, Cédric Micouin left France to pursue a Master’s degree in Plant Biotechnology, Biomedicine and Pharmacology at the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (USTH). Driven by a desire to venture beyond familiar surroundings, experience a new culture and test his ability to adapt, he chose Vietnam as the next destination on his academic journey. For Cédric, this was also an opportunity to gain international experience and prepare for his ambition to work abroad in the future.

For Cédric, one of USTH’s distinctive features is the opportunity to study in a programme built upon close cooperation between Vietnam and France. Upon completing his Master’s programme, he received two degrees awarded by USTH and the University of Montpellier. However, the academic programme was not the only reason he decided to continue his journey at USTH. From his earliest days at the university, he was impressed by its open and welcoming atmosphere, as well as the friendliness of Vietnamese students. The first friends he met in his English class took the initiative to speak with him, showed genuine interest in getting to know him and readily helped him adjust to his new life.

His experiences during the Master’s programme deepened Cédric’s appreciation for Vietnam and its people, while inspiring him to continue his journey with USTH. That aspiration gradually developed into a clear academic path when a French professor from École Polytechnique (L’X)—one of France’s most prestigious engineering institutions—visited USTH and introduced a research project entitled The Effect of Cold Plasma on Rice Crops in Vietnam. This project opened the door for Cédric to pursue doctoral studies. Combining his academic background in Plant Biotechnology with an emerging technology that holds considerable potential for agricultural applications, the research topic immediately captured his interest.

Having experienced first-hand USTH’s international learning environment and the strong academic partnership between Vietnam and France during his Master’s studies, Cédric confidently chose USTH as the place to continue his research journey. He enrolled in a three-year jointly supervised doctoral programme centred on the same research project, spending two years conducting research at USTH and one year at École Polytechnique (L’X). This model enables Cédric to conduct research within the practical context of Vietnam while also benefiting from France’s academic environment and research resources.

Meaningful friendships that spark the idea behind the Global Language Club

During his three years of study and research at USTH, Cédric has had the opportunity to meet and befriend many Vietnamese students. These relationships gradually grew closer through simple, everyday experiences—from spending time with classmates and playing board games to exploring local cuisine and travelling to different parts of Vietnam together.

For Cédric, these friendships have become a memorable part of his three-year journey at USTH. Through shared experiences, meaningful encounters and mutual support, his life in Vietnam has extended far beyond lecture halls and laboratories. It has also been shaped by the people and memories that have strengthened his connection with USTH and the country he now considers a second home.

These experiences have also given Cédric a deeper appreciation of the value of human connection. However, he has realised that not every international student has the same opportunities to meet and engage with the wider USTH student community. Some international interns work primarily within their respective research groups and therefore have limited opportunities to participate in university-wide activities or get to know other students. Language barriers can also make both Vietnamese and international students hesitant to initiate conversations. Recognising these challenges, along with the growing interest among international students in Vietnamese language and culture, Cédric began developing the idea of establishing the Global Language Club.

Cédric envisions the Global Language Club as a space where Vietnamese and international students at USTH can meet and interact regularly. Through language exchange, cultural sharing and mutual support in everyday life, the club will not only encourage members to overcome their initial hesitation, take the initiative in getting to know one another and build closer relationships, but also support their academic and research journeys. Here, students will be able to practise foreign languages together, exchange knowledge, share learning experiences and help one another adapt to an international academic environment.

Cédric also hopes that the connections formed through the club will create opportunities for collaboration on academic projects, research initiatives and student activities. These experiences will help members develop intercultural communication skills, broaden their perspectives and become more confident in a multinational environment. For him, meaningful connections can begin with something as simple as a greeting, a thoughtful question or a recommendation for a delicious local dish. Above all, Cédric hopes that the Global Language Club will become a meeting place for different languages and cultures—a space where young people from diverse backgrounds can discover common ground, open up to one another and create meaningful stories together under the shared roof of USTH.

Creating More Opportunities for Students to Connect

Drawing on his own experience, Cédric believes that the most important qualities for international students arriving in Vietnam are an open mind and a willingness to step beyond their comfort zones. In his view, USTH offers an international learning environment where students have access to modern laboratory facilities, opportunities to join research groups, and the chance to work alongside lecturers and scientists from Vietnam and France. To make the most of these opportunities, students should actively engage with their lecturers, feel confident asking questions and seek support whenever they encounter difficulties. By taking part in academic projects, research activities and international cooperation programmes, they can broaden their knowledge, develop professional working methods, gain experience in a multicultural environment and build valuable professional relationships for the future.

Beyond lecture halls and laboratories, Cédric encourages international students to take the time to discover the people, language and culture of Vietnam. He believes that differences need not become barriers; instead, they can open the door to new experiences when people are willing to listen, respect one another and take the initiative in building connections. For those unsure of how to begin a conversation, Cédric light-heartedly suggests exploring local cuisine with Vietnamese friends. Sometimes, the journey towards integration—and a meaningful friendship—can begin with a simple conversation shared over a meal.

The Global Language Club has now completed its final preparations and is ready to make its debut within the student community. The enthusiastic support of USTH and Vietnamese students throughout the development of the club’s proposal has further strengthened Cédric’s confidence in its future. He hopes that the Global Language Club will soon become a welcoming meeting place where linguistic and cultural diversity serves as a bridge, bringing its members closer together.
