Regarding scientific activities, the School successfully organized 15 scientific seminars/conferences, including 12 international scientific seminars. Scientific seminars and discussions have been strongly innovated in the direction of linking with international publications, policy consulting... The School continues to have close and regular relationships with key scientific programs at the State level as well as the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (NAFOSTED) to promptly participate in proposing, developing explanations and organizing the implementation of major, interdisciplinary research topics, serving scientific research tasks as well as the task of consulting on Vietnam's guidelines and policies.

Speaking at the Conference, VNU President Le Quan highly appreciated the results that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has achieved during the school year, and emphasized a number of tasks that the University needs to focus on to have new developments in the coming time.
Firstly, the University needs to have a flexible policy mechanism to be able to use and exploit well the team of prestigious experts and scientists, including many teachers who have retired but still have good contributions to the school and to society. In addition, the University also needs to pay attention to creating a financial mechanism and a favorable working environment for the next generation of young staff so that they have the conditions to promote their role. The quality staff is the factor that helps the University of Social Sciences and Humanities affirm its pivotal role in the fields of policy consulting, building philosophy, and ideological foundation for development...
Second, improving the quality of training must always be at the center of all decisions. For a training unit that focuses on basic science, the goal of training elites cannot be forgotten. To ensure the quality of training, attention must be paid to the standards of output, input and the ability of learners to find jobs. Projects to innovate basic science majors and traditional faculties need to be focused on, in which a number of faculties with the potential to break through and spread can be selected for pilot investment in the period 2021-2025.
Third, the focus is on promoting the autonomous financial mechanism and university governance. It is possible to consider a more flexible, “soft” autonomous structure with the role of programs, projects, and plans to use talented external personnel. An individual who wishes to develop innovative programs and ideas can be completely created a mechanism and financial support for development. Some units in the school can be selected to be granted a high level of autonomy and the school creates space for those units to develop.
VNU President Le Quan speaks at the Conference
VNU President Le Quan also affirmed that in the key tasks of VNU associated with digital transformation, the role of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities is very important. Many subjects will be deployed on the digital platform and VNU will invest in synchronous information technology infrastructure for this task. In 2022, about 20-30 general subjects will be deployed to teach on this system for the entire VNU, combining 70% self-study on the system and 30% direct teaching. VNU also hopes that lecturers of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities will contribute their maximum capacity in teaching general subjects on Vietnamese culture, human ethics, basic social sciences, etc. as elective subjects for students. Students both inside and outside VNU can register to study and have their credits recognized.
Receiving the direction of the VNU leadership, Professor and Rector Hoang Anh Tuan affirmed: The University will commit to investing in developing a team of high-quality, elite staff, both in quantity and quality, especially towards standardizing academic titles and degrees. Regarding scientific work, the University will focus on oriented investment to have more systems of topics, in addition to key national science and technology programs, also aiming at international publications to create breakthroughs. Regarding training, the spirit of elite training will be thoroughly implemented. Regarding the directions of VNU on training according to new models, the University has also begun to discuss with a number of units to have projects submitted to VNU. The University will also receive and implement ideas on restructuring and increasing autonomy of units. With the new year's action plans and the attention and guidance of VNU, the University is determined to continue to maintain stability and development, making worthy contributions to its role as a pillar member of VNU.
