On the morning of September 25, Hanoi University of Technology and Science (HUST) and Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF) co-organized the Summit of Francophone Research in Higher Education Institutions in Vietnam.
Nicolas Maïnetti, Director of the Asia-Pacific Office of AUF, stated that the summit, with three subcommittees: Social Sciences, Technical Sciences, and Life and Health Sciences, aims to address the following questions:
• How can Vietnamese universities foster well-organized, effective research, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration and connections among French-speaking researchers?
• How can French-language research boost the appeal, influence, and funding diversification of Vietnamese universities?
• How can Francophone organizations best support scientific research development in Vietnam?
Attending the seminar, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc emphasized the crucial role of higher education and the significance of Francophone scientific research in enhancing the educational environment. He recognized AUF's contributions since 1993 and affirmed the importance of ongoing collaboration with higher education institutions to foster educational innovation.
Assoc. Prof. Huynh Quyet Thang, President of HUST, affirmed the strong collaboration between the university and AUF, committing to further promote the advancement of science and technology and the Francophone research community in Vietnam.
Since signing the cooperation agreement in January 2023, the two parties have made significant progress, such as establishing the Francophone Educational Technology Center (CNF) and inaugurating the AUF representative office in the Asia-Pacific region.
