Bui Van Ga, Vice Minister of Education and Training, is scheduled to chair a breakfast session on higher education partnerships in Vietnam and join Brazilian and Turkish education leaders to talk about the role of internationalisation in driving the world’s fastest growing economies.
The ‘Vietnam-UK: Partnership for Mutual Development’ breakfast session will be held on May 1, bringing together 40 vice-chancellors and international leads from UK and US leading higher education institutions.
Participants will be introduced to unique and innovative partnerships with employers and researchers that have been enabling the UK and Vietnam to develop and grow steadily, offering postgraduate qualifications and sponsorship from industry.

To date the Vietnam – UK Institute for Research and Executive Education has been founded, laying the foundations for the future Vietnam – UK University.
Tran Ngoc Ca, Head of the US-based Science and Technology Office under the Ministry of Science and Technology, will talk about 10 prioritised areas within Vietnam's science and technology development strategy until 2020 and share his expertise in developing public - private - community partnerships to facilitate innovation in science and technology and forming collaboration work with US partners in key areas such as biotechnology and agriculture, STEM education and research exchange, amongst others.
