At the meeting, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong expressed his pleasure at welcoming the delegation from Griffith University’s College of Business back to NEU for a visit and discussions. Assoc. Prof. Bui Huy Nhuong emphasized that cooperation with Griffith University, one of Australia’s leading educational institutions, offers an important opportunity for NEU lecturers and students to access advanced academic programs, develop research skills, and engage more deeply with international education.

These included the “Training the Trainer” program, through which four NEU lecturers undertook a three-month academic exchange at Griffith University, and the international transfer program, through which the first NEU student has transferred to Griffith to study.

Building on their positive cooperation, the two universities agreed to pursue new avenues in the coming period, including strengthening joint research, organizing international seminars and conferences, implementing the New Colombo Project, expanding lecturer and student exchange programs, and making effective use of Project 89 of the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) for doctoral education.
