Exploring Global Cooperation at AIHub, First HUST-UTS Joint AI Center 

On November 5, Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) held a meeting with representatives from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) to discuss advancing their collaboration in information and communication technology and semiconductor technology. 

This meeting followed the recent signing of an MoU on November 1 during the international symposium “Building the Future: Australia – Vietnam Technology, Innovation & Cooperation”, co-hosted by the Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam and UTS. The MoU established AIHub, a pioneering AI research collaboration center co-led by UTS and HUST, located within HUST’s Institute for AI Research and Application AI4LIFE. 
 

On behalf of UTS, Prof. Peta Wyeth, Dean of Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, expressed enthusiasm for the expanded partnership in AI and potentially related fields like cybersecurity, electronics, telecommunications, and semiconductors. “We are recognized as a leading university in Australia and among the world's top 100. Our state-of-the-art education and facilities allow students to realize their fullest potential,” said Prof. Wyeth. 
 

In response, Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Phi Le, Director of AI4LIFE, HUST, proposed a plan to foster joint research in interdisciplinary AI applications and establish dual-degree PhD programs for Vietnamese students. 
 

Following the meeting, the UTS delegation toured the newly inaugurated AIHub and AI4LIFE facilities, as well as the BKIC Design Lab in HUST’s C7 Hall.
