One of the two major universities in
Vietnam, the VietnamNational University
at Ho Chi Minh City, is now part of
EURECOM’s group of academic partners
as of January 1
st
, 2012. With over 35,000
students in several faculties and research
institutes, the university is a front-line
player in higher education in Asia. Invited
by Dr. Vu Duong Nguyen, Director of
the John Von Neumann Institute of the
university, Ulrich Finger went to Ho Chi
Minh City to meet with the University
Chairman, Dr. Phan Thanh Binh, and
with the head of the technology faculty.
He also met with teams specialized in
Artificial Intelligence, machine-learning,
multimedia databases and the semantic
web. This new cooperation, which rein-
forces results from the development strat-
egy led in Asia for the last several years,
confirms EURECOM’s international scope.
From an educational standpoint, VNU’s
official admission as academic member
in EURECOM’s Consortium means that
EURECOMwill integrate students fromthe
VietnamNational University. EURECOM’s
ambition is to continue its expansionwith
other universities in Europe and the other
continents to become the number 1 school
to train high-level fully international engi-
neers.
Every year, between 80 and 100 engineers coming from major
European universities who will address future global communication
issues graduate from EURECOM. Our school gives them a high-level
academic program which builds on the latest research developments
to meet the challenges of industry.
