[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] International Partner Connection Series: UEH 50+ Global Partners in 5 Continents “Embracing Global Connection”

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.

UEH Flag Journey rituals between UEH and the international partners

Through the UEH 50+ Global Partners in 5 Continents “Embracing Global Connection” partner connection program, UEH is gradually expanding its partnership network and building a global academic ecosystem where knowledge is connected, co-created, and transformed into practical value for learners and academic staff./.

Toward UEH’s 50th Anniversary: A Series of 22 Co-Creative Activities for a Sustainable Future

50 years of development alongside the nation, nearly 300,000 learners across generations (1975-2026). More than a time to look back and express gratitude, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) announces a series of 22 large-scale key activities to ignite the spirit of co-creation for a sustainable future together with the community.

Established on October 27, 1976, UEH was entrusted with the historic mission of training human resources in economics and management, directly contributing to national development and nation-building

From the mission of nation-building through knowledge to the legacy of values left behind

Emerged in the context of national reconstruction after 1975, and formally established on October 27, 1976, after assuming training functions, UEH was entrusted with a historic mission: to train human resources in economics and management, thereby directly contributing to national development and nation-building.

After nearly half a century, UEH has continuously transformed itself, leaving many marks in teaching, research, consulting, and contributions to economic and social development, while promoting autonomy, international integration, advanced university governance, and transforming from a single-discipline university model into a multidisciplinary, multi-field university that pioneers action for sustainable development.

To date, UEH has been recognized both nationally and internationally, ranking among the Top 15 universities in Southeast Asia (THE 2026) and as one of the leading Vietnamese universities.

More than a journey, these milestones have left behind 8 enduring values: from Unity – Compassion, which laid the foundation, to Dedication – Community – Pioneering, which built stature, and now Creation – Sustainability – Internationalization, opening up the image of a globally integrated university.

UEH calls this its “heritage of internal strength” – the foundation for action and breakthrough in the new phase.

On this basis, the series of 22 activities is being implemented as a strategic action framework, spanning teaching, research, governance, operations, and community engagement.

Activity series “Through the Lenses of Time”

Accompanying “Embracing Our Legacy”, the “Through the Lenses of Time” journey offers a perspective of remembrance, gratitude, and pride in UEH’s half-century path, honoring historical milestones, pioneering generations, and quiet contributions.

This journey is depicted through the lenses of time, connecting memories, images, and experiences across generations: UEH 50 TVC recreating the spirit and resilience of each generation; UEH History Art Book – an artistic publication documenting the development journey; Limited-edition gift sets bearing the strong imprint of 50 years; UEH 50 Music Album spreading inspiration through music; Photo Exhibition + VR “Past & Present”, where viewers can “step through time” to witness UEH’s transformation from its early days to the present.

Unlocking the Heritages Shaping UEH’s Future

From the journey of looking back and continuing onward through these two key activity series, each UEHer will gradually unlock the next 04 heritages shaping the future – legacies inherited from history and transformed into capabilities for action, serving as the foundation for the strategic phase 2025-2045 ahead.

These heritages are not isolated; they are tightly interconnected, forming the inner strength foundation for UEH to convert the past into momentum for the future. They will be introduced, clarified, and disseminated step by step through activities, experiences, and specific stories in the UEH 50 journey.

To give the UEHers community a comprehensive overview and easy way to follow this journey, UEH will introduce a centralized information space, connecting the heritages, activity series, and milestones of the UEH 50 journey in a unified system.

The story of that space will be shared in the next article!

Half a century has passed, from a book of knowledge with the mission of nation-building in 1976, to today, UEH has risen to become a university advancing in the Asian region.

That is the journey of knowledge preserved and transformed across generations of UEHers.

From Unity – Compassion, which laid the foundation in the early years; to Dedication –  Community – Pioneering, shaping today’s identity and position; to Co-creation –  Sustainability – Internationalization, opening the vision for the future.

Eight core values crystallized into inner heritages, connecting past – present – aspirations, and continuing to guide UEH in co-creating the future.

[UEH 50 Years] From Knowledge Legacy – Human Strength – To a Sustainable Future: Writing the Next Remarkable 50 Years Together with UEH

Half a century of development is a process of accumulating inner strength, forging identity, and continuously transforming to adapt to each stage of the country’s and the era’s progress.

At this special milestone, the UEHers community looks back on the past with pride, connects the present to spread inspiration, and opens up the future with 5 heritages shaping future inner strength – legacies inherited from history, transformed into capabilities for action, and serving as the foundation for the upcoming strategic phase of 2025–2045.

UEH Day 2025 – The first foundation legacy: The ONE UEH cultural compass 

In July 2025, in Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa, nearly 900 UEHers gathered for UEH Day 2025, a deeply meaningful connection event that marked the official launch of the journey toward UEH’s 50th anniversary.

In the “Together We Share” space, the UEHers community shared responsibilities, vision, and aspirations for a common future. It was here that the first heritage in the journey of shaping the future was officially unveiled: the ONE UEH Cultural Compass, embodying traditional and modern values with historical continuity, forming the culture of “One UEH” – the guiding compass that shapes the identity of UEH people through the years.

The ONE UEH Cultural Compass

The 50th anniversary celebration series (from February to December 2026) and the journey to unlock the next four future-driving legacies

Building on the first heritage, UEH enters the peak phase of the 50th anniversary activity series with 02 flagship activity series, running from February to December 2026:

  • “UEH 50: Through the Lenses of Time” Series: Commemoration, gratitude, and pride in UEH’s half-century journey, honoring historical milestones, pioneering generations, and quiet contributions. The series is narrated through the lenses of time, connecting memories, images, and experiences across generations.
  • “Embracing Our Legacy” series: 24 innovative activities tied to the 5 strategic pillars – Training, Research, Community Connection, Governance, and Operations – igniting new momentum for the entire UEH community to act toward the 2045 vision.

Through these two series, the next 04 heritages shaping the future will gradually be unveiled, laying the foundation for UEH’s new development phase!

From inner heritages to a sustainable future

UEH 50 is not merely a celebration of a milestone. This is the moment for UEH to transform through “innovative change” built on 50 years of inner heritage, while conveying a “differentiated” image: a prestigious key university with deep traditions yet innovative, modern, and international, guided by an educational philosophy of serving the community and sustainable action.

In the coming time, the “UEH 50 Years” series will continue delivering new messages, creative interactive experiences, and activities with deeper and broader connections – step by step unfolding the journey of connecting knowledge heritage – people – sustainable future to discover 05 inner strengths for the future.

Join us in unlocking the heritages shaping the future in the upcoming articles!
