International cooperation

Over the past 20 years, international cooperation activities have been consistently promoted in many areas of training and academia: regional studies research; organizing international seminars and conferences, publishing, etc. Besides maintaining cooperative relations with China, the Russian Federation, and Eastern European countries, the Faculty of History is one of the leading institutions in cooperation with Western countries, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries. In the 1990s, Project VH26, the only social science project of the Ministry of Education and Training in cooperation with the Netherlands, not only trained several experts for the Faculty and provided additional machinery and equipment, but also created many opportunities for the Faculty's scientists to interact with the European and American world. Each year, dozens of faculty members are sent abroad for study (long-term and short-term) and scientific exchange. Many faculty members in the Department have received scholarships from various funds for scientific research and advanced training programs. Many have earned doctoral and master's degrees in Western countries, North America, Australia, and other regions.
At the same time, the Department of History has also welcomed hundreds of experts from countries such as the Netherlands, France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, China, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the US, Canada, Laos, and Indonesia to work under cooperation programs. Many doctoral students, interns, graduate students, and undergraduates from South Korea, Japan, Laos, the US, Australia, the Netherlands, Singapore, Thailand, Russia, Ukraine, and France have chosen the Department of History as their place of study, with more than a dozen having received doctoral and master's degrees.
Faculty members of the History Department have participated in numerous scientific conferences and seminars abroad and directly organized major international scientific seminars in Vietnam, such as seminars on Hoi An Ancient Town, Pho Hien, traditional Hanoi, Bach Coc (Nam Dinh), ceramics exchange relations, Vietnamese studies, Vietnam in the 20th century, the process of exploitation and establishment of sovereignty in the Southern region, 50 years of the Dien Bien Phu victory, 30 years of the Vietnam War, 100 years of social science and humanities research, 100 years of the Dong Du movement, 50 years of Vietnam-Japan relations, Multidisciplinary approaches in historical research and international relations from the perspective of Vietnamese and French historians, History and cultural exchange between Vietnam and Korea, etc.
