The delegation attended the EducAItion 2026 international conference on personalised education policy in the age of artificial intelligence, which brought together policymakers, education leaders and technology experts from nearly 30 countries and international organisations.

Organised by Israel’s Ministry of Education, the forum focused on three main themes: the future of education and personalised learning, Israel as a testbed for educational innovation, and global leadership in education transformation.

Son took part in high-level policy dialogues alongside education ministers, university presidents and senior officials, discussing personalised education policies, responsible AI governance, academic integrity, narrowing the digital divide and the role of national universities in innovation ecosystems.

He said artificial intelligence should be integrated into higher education as strategic infrastructure to enhance training quality, research capacity and learner adaptability, while remaining within a clear, human-centred policy framework.

National universities, he added, should not only implement policy but also help shape it through evidence-based research, pilot models and strategic advice to governments.

HNU scholars also presented two academic papers at the conference. Associate Professor Huy Nghiem, director of the Institute for Digital Education and Testing, spoke on building human-centred AI trust architecture in higher education, while Professor Chu Duc Trinh, president of the University of Engineering and Technology, presented on Vietnam’s national standards for talent-oriented STEM programmes.

The conference adopted the Jerusalem Declaration on advancing education through the application of artificial intelligence.

During the visit, the HNU delegation held talks with Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch on education development in the AI era, personalised learning policies and prospects for bilateral cooperation in training, research and innovation.

The delegation also visited the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to discuss faculty and student exchanges, English-taught master’s and doctoral programmes, summer courses and joint research, with longer-term plans for shared laboratories or research centres in areas such as advanced materials, AI, semiconductors, biomedical technology and energy.

At the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the two sides signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a framework for cooperation in training, research and academic exchange.

HNU President Son said Vietnam’s higher education system is undergoing dynamic development, with Hanoi National University rolling out new policies to attract science and technology talent and strengthen links between universities, research groups and enterprises.

He also met Vietnamese students studying at Technion, encouraging them to contribute to international academic and technology networks connecting overseas students, domestic research groups and businesses.
