Speaking at the ceremony, Minister Nguyen Kim Son said that from now on, the name National Economics University will replace National Economics University. The only difference is the omission of the first word in the name, but it paves the way for the word "great" to come first and help the school move towards "greatness" in all aspects.

According to the minister, the university model is an internal governance model that aims for multidisciplinary development, so in the future development orientation, the National Economics University needs to aim for a reasonable multidisciplinary structure, multidisciplinary but still promoting advantages, strengths and traditional strengths.

National Economics University needs to stand firm on its traditional strengths, specialties and uniqueness, expand in the direction of related and mutually supportive disciplines into a system, multidisciplinary in the most reasonable way on the basis of maintaining its identity and reputation.

"Multidisciplinary does not mean that we do everything that others do. We should not deviate from our main goals and missions. The school's identity and brand need to continue and be promoted in the new organizational and administrative model," said Minister Nguyen Kim Son.

National Economics University was established in January 1956. Currently, the school has 88 majors at the undergraduate level and 70 majors at the postgraduate level.

Speaking at the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Chuong - Director of the National Economics University, said that after nearly 70 years of construction and development, the National Economics University has gradually affirmed its position and reputation as a leading research and training center in economics, management and business administration in Vietnam.

With the establishment of 3 schools, including the School of Economics and Public Administration, the School of Business, and the School of Technology, the National Economics University has made a major change, demonstrating its strategic vision to become a smart, multidisciplinary, and multi-field university.

According to Mr. Chuong, moving towards the new stage, in the spirit of promoting core values, the school continues to focus on comprehensive development in teaching, scientific research and international cooperation. New training programs will continue to be implemented, ensuring progress, keeping up with internationalization trends and being suitable for practical needs.

"In the era of the 4.0 industrial revolution, the school is well aware of its pioneering role in researching and applying new technologies to teaching and management. From applying artificial intelligence, big data to developing online learning models, we are constantly innovating to bring the best learning experiences to students. This not only helps students improve their competitiveness but also contributes positively to the socio-economic development of the country," Mr. Chuong emphasized.
