The Center for Materials Innovation and Technology (CMIT) at VinUniversity, led by Professor Phan Manh Huong, has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Institute of Functional Intelligent Materials (I-FIM) at the National University of Singapore. I-FIM is headed by Professor Sir Konstantin Novoselov, Nobel laureate in Physics 2010, University of Manchester, UK and member of the VinFuture Prize Council.
This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in advancing frontier research in materials science. The collaboration will focus on three emerging and high-impact areas:
The MOU establishes a strong foundation for jointly conducting world-class research projects and implementing dynamic research exchange programs. Through this collaboration, students and researchers from both institutes will gain access to state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories, working under the co-supervision of internationally renowned scientists. This immersive environment will enable young researchers to engage in cutting-edge scientific discovery while benefiting from cross-institutional mentorship and global expertise.
Beyond advancing scientific excellence, the partnership positions CMIT as a national and global hub for materials innovation—bringing together world-leading scholars and bright young talents to tackle pressing national and global challenges. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and high-level training, the initiative aims to cultivate the next generation of scientific leaders who will shape transformative technologies for the future.
