On December 6, VinUniversity will host the "Presidents Innovation Forum"—a premier gathering focused on groundbreaking advancements in AI within higher education. This event aims to establish a dynamic exchange platform where visionary educators can explore innovative models for future universities shaped by machine intelligence.

Featured visuals include high-resolution imagery optimized for web delivery across various devices. The forum will address critical questions about preserving academic values while embracing technological evolution.

How should universities balance tradition with innovation in the AI era—and what defines educational value moving forward?
What new professional standards emerge when AI assumes teaching, assessment, and advisory functions?
Which pedagogical approaches maintain human connection amid increasing automation?
How will future institutions evaluate student capabilities beyond conventional metrics?

The forum features distinguished co-chairs Dr. Le Mai Lan (VinUniversity President) and Prof. Lily Kong (SMU President). Participating leaders include prominent academics from Vietnam National University, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Nanyang Technological University, RMIT Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Monash University Malaysia, and Ningbo's Eastern Institute of Technology.

Additional highlights showcase Prof. Simon Lee (NVIDIA AI Center) alongside "AI-native" student representatives representing industry perspectives. The initiative aligns with VinFuture Week's mission to advance knowledge, technology, and education for humanity's future.
