The 950th anniversary of Quoc Tu Giam (Imperial Academy), Viet Nam’s first national university, is an opportunity to reaffirm the enduring values of the country’s tradition of learning, respect for teachers and promotion of talent. These values have shaped Viet Nam’s intellectual foundations and continue to support its development in a new era.

 

Throughout 2026, a wide range of activities have been held to mark the anniversary. Hanoi aims to gradually develop the site into a leading cultural and educational destination in the region, expanding its role beyond that of a historical relic to become a vibrant space for learning and cultural experiences, as the city looks towards Quoc Tu Giam’s 1,000th anniversary in 2076.
