Vietnam, Australia universities enhance scientific research, training links

VOV.VN - An increase in exchanges of training and scientific research activities between Vietnamese and Australian universities is anticipated to help local students to study in an international standard environment, whilst universities from both sides will gain a higher position in the global ranking of universities.

This was the assessment made by Dr. Tran Nam Nghiep, Director Of Strategic Partnerships for South East Asia at the University of Adelaide, South Australia.

According to Dr. Nghiep, the University of Adelaide has re-signed or renewed various memorandums of understanding (MoU) regarding training activities with many Vietnamese universities and research institutes in recent years.

Before the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Nghiep said the Australian university had previously invited representatives of various Vietnamese universities to visit exhibitions aimed at discussing a range of co-operative opportunities.

At present, numerous scientists from the University of Adelaide are working alongside experts from the Polytechnic University of Ho Chi Minh City, the Hanoi University of Technology, Can Tho University, Hau Giang Hi-Tech Agricultural Park, and Atalink Company, in an effort to deploy various ideas through a bilateral research co-operation scheme funded by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation.

Dr. Nghiep said Vietnamese students are always viewed as industrious, intelligent, and studious who achieve strong academic results, thereby making a significant contribution to the scientific development of both South Australia and Australia as a whole.

Despite its negative impact, the COVID-19 has created a range of golden opportunities for the launch of distance training programmes whilst boosting joint bilateral training schemes on science and digital application between several Australian and Vietnamese universities.

Australian Minister for Education Alan Tudge recently urged universities and educational institutions to boost their recruitment of international students so they can invest more strongly in low-cost online courses and schemes that feature more flexible learning styles and locations.
