Assoc. Prof. Nguyễn Văn Vũ, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology, delivering the opening remarks at the FIT Summer School on Intelligent Agents and Agentic AI 2026.

On the morning of 27 July, the Faculty of Information Technology at VNUHCM–University of Science (HCMUS) officially opened the FIT@HCMUS Summer School on Intelligent Agents and Agentic AI 2026. Running until 31 July, the programme features a series of advanced lectures on intelligent agents, Agentic AI, and emerging applications of artificial intelligence in software engineering, robotics, cybersecurity, and data processing.

FIT@HCMUS Summer School is an annual academic initiative organised by the Faculty of Information Technology to enable learners to strengthen specialist knowledge, engage with emerging technological developments, and broaden connections with researchers, academics, industry experts, and corporate partners.

Building on previous editions that explored Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Multi-Agent Systems, the 2026 programme focuses on Intelligent Agents and Agentic AI. These research directions are attracting growing international attention as AI systems increasingly evolve towards planning, tool utilisation, collaboration with other agents, autonomous task execution, and result verification within complex workflows.

Throughout the five-day programme, participants explore topics ranging from the mathematical foundations of Large Language Models, the principles of Agentic AI, and Multi-Agent Systems to engineering workflows, prompt engineering methodologies, and practical applications in software development, robotic control, document restoration, and cybersecurity.

Through specialist lectures and academic discussions, the FIT@HCMUS Summer School on Intelligent Agents and Agentic AI 2026 provides participants with a systematic understanding of recent advances in artificial intelligence, spanning theoretical foundations, engineering methodologies, and real-world applications.

Participation from researchers, academics, students, engineers, and industry representatives further strengthens connections between education, research, and professional practice. Knowledge shared throughout the programme provides participants with a stronger foundation for developing new ideas, pursuing future research directions, and exploring applications of next-generation AI technologies to address practical challenges.
