The Economics Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications (ERIPT) is a long-standing research and training institution with a rich history in the field of Information and Communications.
ERIPT, as it is known today, originated from the Economics Research and Planning Institute of Posts and Telecommunications, which was established under Decision No. 812/QĐ dated May 28, 1975, by the Director General of the General Department of Post and Telecommunications. On January 1, 1980, the institute was renamed the Economics Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications under Decision No. 2308/QĐ dated December 20, 1979.
Following the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 516/TTg (July 11, 1997) establishing the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT), the Economics Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications was reorganized as part of PTIT.

In 2014, as part of the transformation of the Academy, ERIPT was transferred from the Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group to the Ministry of Information and Communications by Decision No. 878/QĐ-BTTTT dated June 27, 2014. During this process, ERIPT was affirmed as a research and training unit directly under PTIT, in accordance with the temporary Organization and Operation Regulations of the Academy, issued under Decision No. 1766/QĐ-BTTTT dated November 25, 2014.
