Dear Colleagues, Students, and Friends:

As we traverse towards another significant academic year in performing the University'smission for high academic achievement and excellence, let us all be inspired by a visionthat Thai Nguyen University is moving up and above with a big leap in carryingeducation and training to the global academic community.

Thai Nguyen University has been in existence for almost two decades since the integration with different colleges of diversified fields of study, which were established earlier as separate institutions, as a regional center of learning in the northern part of Vietnam. As a way to advance training and education, research, technology transfer, and other program development in all fields of competence, I encourage all member-units tocontinuously build university network or partnership and inter-university cooperationthrough transfer and sharing of knowledge via cross-border education collaboration withuniversity partners all over the world.

In this context, our university is launching an International Network to consolidateinformation regarding all international concerns so that the academic community willhave a single place to turn to, and to develop a social structure for the promotion of awide range of cross-cultural exchange between and among various internationalfaculty/student groups who are under scholarship grants in the different parts of theworld.

 On behalf of the International Network of TNU, otherwise known as INET, we invite thefaculty and students' scholars, both local and international, to be a part and parcel of thisundertaking as member-partners in generating and sharing brand-new ideas, establishingnew teaching and learning methodologies/strategies, enhancement of languagecompetence, and facilitating the enrichment of existing academic programs as well asresearch, technology transfer, and publications of Thai Nguyen University, including allmember-units.

Hence, as we look back to our humble beginnings, let us incessantly move forward andgive rise to Thai Nguyen University towards "INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION"
