One important content discussed was the formation of a network linking three institutions: International School, VNU-IS; International University (VNU-HCM); and the Vietnam-UK Institute for Research and Training – University of Da Nang. This connection is expected to create mutually complementary “pieces,” promoting the sharing of resources and experience, and developing interdisciplinary, inter-regional training and research programs.

In particular, both sides jointly explored and developed training programs in the Fintech field – an area with high demand in the context of digital transformation. Additionally, plans include faculty exchange, sharing teaching resources, developing training programs, and jointly promoting and attracting international students.
A multilateral cooperation model was also proposed, including international student exchange, attracting foreign lecturers, and expanding cooperation with international partners, including India, to implement joint training programs and attract international students to study in Vietnam.
