On the morning of April 22, National Economics University (NEU) honored and presented awards to students for their outstanding achievements in academic competitions in 2025.

Delegates and students attending the program

For many years, NEU has consistently prioritized and closely guided students’ academic activities. Each year, the University regularly organizes Olympiad activities and competitions that promote students as role models in learning. Through these activities, the University has identified key talents to form teams that compete and consistently achieve outstanding results in academic competitions.

At the 31st Mathematics Olympiad, a challenging intellectual competition, particularly in Division A, the NEU team earned one gold medal (first prize), two silver medals (second prizes), and one bronze medal (third prize).

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu also commended the team members. “You have demonstrated not only a strong command of your subject but also perseverance, resilience, and tireless effort. Your sleepless nights and long hours of dedicated practice have been duly rewarded with prestigious medals and a place in the World Final ICPC 2025.” He also affirmed that these achievements were a source of pride not only for the individuals but also for NEU as a whole, demonstrating a dynamic, creative, and inspiring academic environment that continually fosters the pursuit of knowledge and spreads academic values throughout the student community.

In particular, Prof. Nguyen Thanh Hieu expressed his deep gratitude to the lecturers who had guided and coached the teams with dedication, expertise, and unwavering support for students on their journey to new heights of knowledge. “I hope today’s achievements will provide powerful inspiration for all students to keep striving, learning, developing themselves, and reaching new heights.”

Before each demanding and intense national competition, the University, particularly the lecturers responsible for managing and teaching the teams, devotes its full intellectual resources, effort, capabilities, and dedication to preparing students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset they need. This preparation helps students enter the competition with the greatest possible confidence and readiness, perform at their best, and achieve the highest possible results, with the aim of having students win the competition’s top prizes and advance to the training round for selection to the team competing at the regional level. This is why the NEU team has a long tradition of strong results and has maintained its performance for many consecutive years.

The achievements in each academic competition reflect the collective work, intellect, effort, and determination of the lecturers, as well as the attention and decisive guidance of the Party Committee and the NEU Board of Presidents.

ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest) is the world’s oldest and most prestigious programming competition for university students, bringing together outstanding teams from across the continents. Securing a place in the World Finals is an achievement of international significance, demonstrating the caliber, sustained effort, and exceptional thinking of the NEU.gugugaga team. It is not only a source of pride for the team itself but also a remarkable collective achievement for the students, lecturers, and NEU in their efforts to establish their academic standing in information technology on the international stage.
