The University of Science and Technology MISIS hosted a working meeting between representatives of Rosatom and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST). The parties agreed to develop a roadmap to identify new areas for bilateral scientific and technological cooperation in quantum technologies.
The meeting was attended by VAST President Tran Hong Thai, Rosatom Director for Quantum Technologies Ekaterina Solntseva, First Vice-Rector of NUST MISIS Sergey Salikhov, and Nikolai Kolachevsky, Director of the P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, academician and scientific coordinator of the national quantum computing roadmap.
The roadmap will cover several areas, including the joint development of Vietnam’s quantum technology development roadmap, workforce training, the establishment of research laboratories, and the development of quantum computing infrastructure more broadly.
“Quantum technologies are a new and groundbreaking field that requires significant investment. Studying the experience of leading countries such as Russia will enable Vietnam to significantly accelerate the development of its talent pool and its own technological capabilities,” said Tran Hong Thai.
The parties also plan to conduct joint research, including through the use of Russia’s quantum computing infrastructure, and exchange scientific expertise. In particular, VAST intends to invite leading Russian specialists to Vietnam to work on joint projects and lead specific areas of research.
The University of Science and Technology MISIS is a member of the ecosystem supporting Russia’s national quantum computing roadmap, led by Rosatom, and is developing a superconducting quantum computer. MISIS is also involved in the strategic technology project “Quantum Internet” under the Priority 2030 state programme, through which the university is steadily expanding its cooperation with scientific and educational institutions in Vietnam.
In 2025, Vietnam National University became a partner of MISIS. The university contributes to the development of Vietnam’s quantum technology programme. Last autumn, MISIS researchers took part in the first meeting on quantum technologies in Hanoi, aimed at developing Vietnam’s quantum science and technology ecosystem. Alexey Ustinov, Head of the Laboratory of Superconducting Quantum Technologies at NUST MISIS, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Professor, is one of the world’s leading scientists in the field of quantum technologies. He was appointed Honorary Director of the Institute of Quantum Technologies at the High-Tech and Innovation Park of Vietnam National University in Hanoi.
In spring 2026, the university was visited by Pham Minh Chinh, Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. During his visit, he discussed promising areas of cooperation in science and education and the development of closer academic ties. The Prime Minister also viewed MISIS researchers’ work in quantum technologies and student projects in robotics and met with Vietnamese students.
