[UEH50] Logo & 50-Year UEH Identity – A Story of Heritage Endowment and Aspiration to Reach Far

Towards the 50-year milestone of its establishment and development (1976-2026), the 50th-anniversary identity system of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has been built as a condensed symbol of a half-century journey of nurturing knowledge, developing people, and continuously innovating for the community, the city, and society.

The UEH50 logo is not merely an identity design; it is also a way for UEH to recount its development story – from its foundational heritage and mission of national reconstruction, to its powerful transformation into a multidisciplinary, multi-sectoral university committed to sustainable action and deep international integration.

UEH50 embodies the spirit of an “Innovation FlyWheel” – a cycle of innovation where the internal resources accumulated through generations become strong enough to activate the dynamism of innovation, enabling UEH to become a sustainable innovation machine, capable of self-sustaining, expanding, and creating profound impacts for its ongoing development journey.

UEH50 Logo – Journey from Heritage to the Future

The UEH 50th-anniversary logo adopts red as its primary color, symbolizing the internal strength, pioneering spirit, and leading aspiration of a university that has been in constant motion for half a century.

The overall symbol is composed of multiple layers of meaning, representing the development stages, educational spirit, and future vision of UEH:

The Book Symbol: Represents the spirit of heritage, the starting point of the 50-year journey, and the mission of national reconstruction through knowledge in the early days of its establishment during the 1975-1976 period.

The Human Symbol: Embodies the development philosophy centered on people. UEH is a convergence of individuals with a spirit of innovation, integration, creativity, and connection, jointly creating sustainable value for the community and society.

The Boat Symbol: Reflects the proactive spirit of transformation and the continuous exploration of new journeys by UEH over 50 years. From the historic Campus A, UEH has expanded its footprint to UEH Mekong in Vinh Long and continues to shape the future with the global connection hub, UEH Nexus, in Khanh Hoa.

The Flow Symbol: Evokes the image of a knowledge flow from local internal strength reaching out to the ocean of global integration. This symbolizes UEH’s spirit of scaling up, internationalizing, and building an inter-regional connection network.

The Circle Symbol of the Future Sun: Represents UEH’s long-term vision and aspiration for global integration. It is a symbol of future orientation, leading UEH to continuously innovate, develop, and move forward.

“Innovation FlyWheel” – When Accumulated Endowment Becomes the Driving Force for Renewal Across Generations

Throughout 50 years of establishment and development, UEH has continuously cultivated its internal strength based on eight core values: Solidarity – Compassion – Dedication – Community – Pioneering – Co-creation – Sustainability – Internationalization.

Over time, these symbols connect to create a unified movement – the image of an “Innovation FlyWheel” carrying UEH’s unique internal strength.

The “Innovation FlyWheel” represents the capacity to accumulate internal resources and generate greater momentum for the future. Within it, each individual and each unit is a wheel of the system. When one wheel accelerates, its kinetic energy radiates throughout the entire community. It is this resonance that creates the enduring strength connecting generations of UEHers in the same flow of knowledge and aspiration for development.

These values do not exist in isolation but are constantly evolving, inheriting, and resonating through each development phase. Hence, the image of the “Knowledge Flywheel” was chosen as the central symbol for the 50-year milestone, representing the spirit of continuous innovation, adaptability, and enduring internal strength of UEH on its future development journey.

The “Innovation FlyWheel” places the brand circle at its center – symbols that have been present throughout UEH’s development journey: the circle in the traditional logo symbolizing sustainability; the five river branches of UEH Mekong spreading knowledge to the community; the UEH Nexus magnifying glass – a place where knowledge converges and is illuminated; as well as the ONE UEH cultural compass and the University’s strategic models.

From a 50-Year Heritage to the Next Development Journey

Entering the 50-year milestone, UEH continues to affirm its development orientation to become a multidisciplinary, multi-sectoral university committed to sustainable action and deep international integration; playing the role of a knowledge hub, an innovation center, and a connector for sustainable development for the community, the city, and society.

In this new phase, UEH will continue to promote comprehensive internationalization in training, research, governance, and community connection activities; gradually enhance its position within the global academic community, aiming to maintain its place in the Top 250 Asian universities for the 2025-2030 period and progress towards the Top 100 in Asia in the subsequent phase.

The 50-year identity system is not only a mark of a historical milestone but also a link connecting the past, present, and future; connecting generations of UEHers in the same spirit of unity, companionship, and co-creation.

From the movements of each individual and each unit, the UEH “Innovation FlyWheel” will continue to be driven by pride, a sense of responsibility, and an unceasing aspiration for development.

Fifty years is not just a time for reflection, but also a moment for the UEH community to collectively continue writing the legacy of heritage with new values for the community, the city, and society in the future./.

Half a century has passed. From a book of knowledge with a nation-building mission in 1976 to today, UEH has grown into one of the leading universities in Asia.

This is the journey of 8 heritage values that form UEH’s internal strength, preserved and transformed across generations of UEHers. From Unity – Compassion, which laid the foundation in the early years; Dedication – Community – Pioneering, which shaped today’s identity and standing; to Creation – Sustainability – Internationalization, which opens up the vision for the future.

These 8 values crystallize into a heritage of internal strength, connecting the past, present, and aspirations, and continuing to guide UEH in co-creating the future.

[UEH 50] Runners Write the “Knowledge – People – Future” Race at UEH Run Half Marathon 2026

On June 7, 2026, nearly 4,000 athletes gathered at Sala Urban Area (An Khanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) to participate in the UEH Run Half Marathon 2026 – Embracing Our Future, a race organized for the first time by the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) on the occasion of its 50th anniversary (1976-2026) -1.

[UEH 50 Years] Awakening the Inner Strength of “Dedication – Community”: People Building a Legacy

Continuing the journey that began with awakening the foundational value of “Unity – Compassion,” the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has entered the next chapter, centered on “Dedication and Community” – two values that have steadfastly shaped UEH’s identity and standing throughout half a century of development.

If “Unity – Compassion” was the foundation in the early years, then “Dedication – Community” has been the driving force behind UEH’s continuous growth. It is the dedication of generations of lecturers to knowledge, the commitment of staff and employees to the university’s operations and development, and the community spirit of more than 280,000 alumni, partners, and learners across generations.

It is precisely the synergy between individual dedication and community connection that has created UEH’s inner strength, enabling the University not only to fulfill its educational mission but also to steadily affirm its pioneering role in education, research, and social service.

That spirit is now embodied through a series of multi-generational activities throughout 2026, where each experience is not only a commemorative milestone, but also a space for people to meet, share, and co-create the future.

A highlight of the program is the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, featuring the recognition of outstanding Youth Union–Student Association officers and the kick-off ceremony for the series of activities toward UEH’s 50th anniversary.

The race includes three distances symbolizing the different layers of values in UEH’s journey: 5KM – Heritage of Knowledge, 10KM – Heritage of People, and 21KM – Heritage of the Future. Each distance represents a distinct touchpoint, from the mission of nation-building through knowledge, to the philosophy of people-centered development, and the aspiration to move toward a sustainable future with the community. Beyond competition, the program is expanded into a UEH 50-year experience space, with exhibition and interactive zones such as Green Zone, Giving Zone, Alumni Zone, along with entertainment spaces for the runner community.

In particular, through the Giving To UEH fundraising goal, all revenue after costs, together with contributions from businesses and runners, will be directed toward education development activities, scholarships, campus facilities, academic resources, and sustainable projects at UEH.

*Generational strength – Alumni Day 2026 “Embracing Lifelong Bonds”

UEH Alumni Day 2026 is designed as a journey “home,” where generations of UEH alumni gather to relive youthful memories and reconnect with the community that once accompanied them. More than just a reunion, the program also evokes a sense of “belonging to UEH” – belonging to a network of knowledge and values that accompany each individual throughout their personal growth.

Through the Homecoming Series, UEH is gradually forming Alumni Chapters by cohort, major, faculty, and graduation year, building a sustainable connection system between alumni and the University.

A highlight of the program is the “Memories & Movements” space, recreating UEH’s 50-year development journey alongside the youthful memories of many generations of students. Alumni will also join Campus Tours, class/year reunions, and connect with the global UEH Alumni network. Through this, UEH continues to maintain a long-lasting and profound bond among generations of UEHers.

The series of activities concludes with a Gala Dinner and the UEH Alumni Awards ceremony, honoring individuals and collectives who have made outstanding contributions to both the community and the University.

With a goal of attracting approximately 1,000 alumni across 04 official tournaments, the program aims to build a connected, dynamic UEHer community that walks alongside UEH on its journey of sustainable development.

More than just a student stage, the festival is also an opportunity to discover and nurture outstanding performances and voices to join the UEH student arts team, serving major University events and citywide and national competitions.

*Emotional strength – UEH Concert 2026 “Embracing Shared Emotions”

Closing the 50th anniversary celebration series, UEH Concert 2026 is a large-scale music festival that serves as a bridge connecting generations of UEHers.

Toward the 50th milestone, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) officially launches the program “UEH 50+ Global Partners in 5 Continents – Embracing Global Connection,” to connect and develop comprehensive cooperation with international partners across 5 continents.

UEH’s Internationalization and Global Vision

The UEH 50+ Global Partners in 5 Continents program is a strategic initiative for the 2026 – 2030 period that aims to expand and deepen UEH’s international cooperation network by connecting partners across 5 continents.

Accordingly, UEH aims to establish and develop collaboration with at least 50 international partners, including: (1) universities ranked among the Top 250 in Asia and Top 500 globally (according to QS, THE, and ARWU); (2) reputable academic organizations, professional associations, and multinational research and consulting institutions; and (3) other strategic partners aligned with UEH’s development orientation.

The program focuses on building an international education partner network in both quantity and quality, gradually realizing UEH’s vision of maintaining a Top 250 position in Asia by 2030 and reaching the Top 100 in Asia by 2045.

From Connection to Co-Creating an International Academic Ecosystem

A key feature of UEH’s approach is the shift toward co-creating academic and practical value within a sustainable cooperation ecosystem.

In training, UEH develops double degrees, articulation, and offshore programs, while also coordinating the implementation of high-quality human resource development programs. In academic exchange, UEH promotes credit transfer student exchange programs, short-term programs, summer camps, and faculty-led study abroad experiences, accompanied by scholarship policies for international student exchange.

In research, UEH intensifies joint research projects, forms international research groups, co-organizes academic seminars, and attracts international scholars and experts (“UEH100” – Program on Attracting Top-Tier Faculty and Researchers). At the same time, cultural exchange activities are expanded through competitions and international experiential programs, fostering a multicultural learning environment.

UEH Flag Journey: A Global Connection Ritual

Working sessions with partners are held flexibly in various formats: in person at UEH, overseas, or online. Each meeting is an opportunity for the two sides to exchange views, reach consensus, sign agreements, and implement specific cooperation activities in training, research, and academic exchange. In particular, UEH conducts a flag-exchange ritual between the University and international partners: the UEH Flag Journey.

This activity is both symbolic and marks each milestone in UEH’s internationalization journey, aiming to create long-term value for learners, local communities, the nation, and society.

Since February 2026, UEH has continuously engaged in meetings, discussions, and partnership agreements with a range of notable international partners, including Massey University (New Zealand), the University of Queensland and Flinders University (Australia), Oxford EMI (United Kingdom), the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) (USA), and leading universities in Taiwan. These activities have focused on exchanging orientations to strengthen cooperation in training, enhance English-medium teaching capacity, develop international programs, and connect with global professional organizations.
