The US-Vietnam Research Center is an independent research institution hosted by the Global Studies Institute at the University of Oregon. Our central mission is to promote research and education on three broad areas, including contemporary developments in Vietnam, US-Vietnam relations, and the Vietnamese-American community. We strive to engage the public and the expert community in the US, Vietnam, and elsewhere through commissioned research, publications of source materials and research findings, and workshops and symposiums. We aim to contribute to the intellectual and institutional power of the Vietnamese American diaspora while building a community of individuals and organizations interested in Vietnam and in US-Vietnamese relations, whether in the past, present, or future.
