In the past year, VNU continued to demonstrate its national responsibility through chairing and implementing key research programs, namely the Vietnam National Gazetteer project, the Centre for Vietnamese Studies documents project, the Translation and Promotion of the Quintessence of Oriental Classics project; formulating and preparing for the implementation of the national-level key program for attracting investments in socio-economic development of coastal provinces.

VNU effectively participated in policy consulting for central agencies such as the Central Economic Commission, the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Education and Training, and in coordination with the Ministry of Science and Technology proposed pilot policies to create motivation for commercialization to quickly apply public investment research results to production and business activities.

VNU also promoted cooperation and made-to-order science and technology transfer to contribute to the socio-economic development of the localities. Specifically, VNU joined the building of digital governance maps for Hoa Binh province, Quang Ninh province; took part in dealing with seafood epidemics in Ca Mau province; built local gazetteers for Nam Dinh and Quang Ninh provinces, among others.

With its pioneering position in the national education system as well as its development orientation following the model of an advanced, multi-disciplinary research university, VNU always pays due attention to closely linking its training, research with knowledge transfer activities. On June 29, 2022, VNU President signed Decision No. 2188/QĐ-ĐHQGHN approving the establishing of VNU Industry Collaboration Hub. The Hub was established to concretize the guidelines and policies of the Party and State and implement the development strategy of VNU until 2030, vision to 2045, in which priorities are given to economy, culture, society and human development in general and the business ecosystem in particular.

Also in 2022, VNU launched the Channel for teaching the Vietnamese language to overseas Vietnamese, hosted by VNU University of Social Sciences and Humanities within the framework of the Day for Honouring the Vietnamese Language in Overseas Vietnamese Communities (September 8 yearly). The launching of the Channel for teaching the Vietnamese language to overseas Vietnamese helps spread the Vietnamese language teaching and learning, raise awareness and responsibility of the whole society to honour, preserve and promote the purity, and the value of the national language.
