As part of the ceremony, Ho Chi Minh City University of Education also reviewed the activities of its Strong Research Groups during the 2022–2024 period. These groups including the Physics Group, Educational Psychology Group, Chemistry Group, and Mathematical Analysis Group have achieved remarkable success in scientific research and its applications. The research conducted by these groups not only holds theoretical value but also makes practical contributions to social development, strengthening HCMUE’s position within the scientific community.

Scientific research is one of the core activities at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. In the 2023–2024 academic year, HCMUE implemented 380 student scientific research projects, with a total funding of 2,444,000,000 VND. After a selection process, 35 outstanding projects were chosen for publication in the Proceedings of the Student Scientific Research Conference, and 7 excellent projects were published in prestigious international journals. This achievement not only confirms the quality of HCMUE students’ research but also contributes to enhancing the University’s reputation within the international academic community. Additionally, 16 projects were published in domestic journals, and some have been applied practically in teaching at educational institutions in Ho Chi Minh City.

In addition, the University also acknowledges success in scientific research awards. At the 2024 Science and Technology Awards for students of higher education institutions, 14 projects from the University achieved outstanding results, including 2 First Prizes, 6 Second Prizes, 3 Third Prizes, and 2 Consolation Prizes.

Regarding the 2024 Euréka Student Scientific Research Awards, the University participated with 42 projects. After the semifinal round, 5 projects advanced to the final round, achieving 1 First Prize, 1 Second Prize, and 3 Consolation Prizes.

At this solemn ceremony, Prof. Dr. Huỳnh Văn Sơn, President of Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, warmly congratulated the newly appointed associate professors, lecturers, and students who have achieved outstanding results in scientific research. He expressed hope that in the coming years, the faculty and students will continue to maintain and build upon these proud achievements, attain even greater success, and contribute to enhancing HCMUE’s standing within the national and regional academic communities.

The ceremony was not only an occasion to honor the achievements attained but also an important event demonstrating Ho Chi Minh City University of Education’s commitment to continuously developing high-quality human resources, promoting scientific research, and contributing to the nation’s educational mission.
