The VNU-HN has strong determination to realise the Party, State, and people’s aspiration for a leading innovative, green, smart, and sustainable university city in the region, he said, noting that its entire staff moved from the current campus in Cau Giay district to the Hoa Lac area in May this year, which showed their resolve to accelerate the project.

Deputy PM Dam said the VNU-HN, a leading establishment of higher education in Vietnam, needs to have new determination, long-term vision, and a different approach to develop a smart and modern university city, not just a big university.
He asked the university to quickly build and put lecture halls into use.
From now to the end of 2022, the VNU-HN needs to complete the delimitation of the entire project and coordinate with Hanoi and Thach That authorities to finish site clearance as ordered by the PM, he added./.
