On this day 7 years ago, the Health and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (HAPRI) was born under the roof of UEH. It was the first research institute in Vietnam to bring health economics and agricultural economics together (founding Decision No. 3037/QĐ-ĐHKT-NS, 13 November 2019). From the very first day, HAPRI has pursued one clear goal: producing reliable scientific evidence so that policy better serves people's health and livelihoods.


HAPRI marks 7 years, 13 Nov 2019 to 13 Nov 2026, with five of the institute's milestones.

7 years, 7 milestones

  1. Research with international reach. The institute has published in international scientific journals.

  2. International cooperation. The institute carries out an international project funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and works with many international partners and organizations.

  3. Ministry-level research. The institute carries out a Ministry of Education and Training research project (code B2023-KSA-05) and continues to develop new research for the years ahead.

  4. A voice in policy debate. HAPRI members regularly write analysis for The Saigon Times, The Diplomat, Người Đô Thị and Tia Sáng, on topics from institutions and the economy to higher education.

  5. Knowledge for the public. The institute built free calculators for tax, salary, social insurance and pensions, and LawWatch, its portal on Vietnamese law, so that people can easily find practical information.

  6. Sharing knowledge. The institute runs the HAPRI Seminar series, short training courses in research methods and thematic workshops, as part of the activities celebrating UEH's 50th anniversary.

  7. A growing community. Today, nearly 30 staff, researchers and experts in Vietnam and abroad work with HAPRI.


Thank you

Thank you to UEH's leadership and to our partners, funders, colleagues and readers for trusting and supporting HAPRI along the way. As it enters its 8th year, HAPRI keeps working toward its vision for 2030: to become one of the most influential research institutions in Vietnam in health economics and agricultural policy, recognized by international research institutions and universities around the world.


Happy birthday, HAPRI.
