Drs Alastair Morrison (Head of International Partnerships, Global Engagement Hub) and Milena Bobeva (Internationalisation Lead, BU Business School) will be visiting universities in Vietnam from 15-19 May 2023 as members of the Advisory Board to the British Council UK-Vietnam Higher Education Partnership (HEP). They will be visiting a range of institutions to develop partnerships, and progress ongoing project work funded by the British Council. For recent events, see the news story of a seminar on research excellence held at the Vietnamese Embassy in London.

The UK-Vietnam HEP Network intends to accelerate its development to support UK universities to understand the landscape, priorities and impact of the higher education sector in Vietnam, promote partnerships between the UK and Vietnam in student and staff mobility, transnational education, research and innovation, and provide networking opportunities among all stakeholders involved in higher education in the UK and Vietnam. The visit will consist of network meetings hosted by Hanoi University of Science and Technology and the Hanoi University of Mining and Geology from 15-17 May 2023, followed by visits to universities in Central and Southern Vietnam by the UK members on 18-19 May 2023, including Hue University.

It would be helpful if BU colleagues could let the Global Engagement Hub know of any active, existing links with Vietnam, and if anyone would like to develop links with any of the above universities in Vietnam, please email globalbu@bournemouth.ac.uk
