At the ceremony, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyễn Linh Trung determined the Institute’s vision to become an excellent interdisciplinary research centre in Vietnam in the fields of Information Technology, Electronics, Communications, Mechanical Robotics … The establishment of the Institute was a milestone in the development strategy of VNU UET in terms of both scale and quality. The Institute has selected its initial research directions to include intelligent information technology systems for distance medical and health care. The Institute’s scientific and technological products would be intelligent products closely related to medical imaging and storage systems. These systems will integrate technologies that address five areas of signal processing and imaging, artificial intelligence, communications security, multidimensional display and transmission, medical sensor design.

Prof. Nguyen Linh Trung spoke about the direction of research in AVITECH in the coming time

Characterized by an open model, to launch its selected research directions, in 2018, the Institute needs to attract highly-qualified scientific research personnel and build a network of partnerships. In particular, the Institute is to establish a number of new mechanisms to create a favourable working environment to attract researchers.
