MARCH 27 - As part of promoting international cooperation activities, UEF welcomed and held a meeting with representatives from University of Fukui (Japan).
This visit was led by Prof. Koji Kobata, School of Global and Community Studies, University of Fukui, with the aim to strengthen the previously signed collaborative content and expand numerous mobility programs for students from both universities. On behalf of UEF, the representatives included Prof. Dr. Eric Jose Olmedo Panal, Director of the International Institute; Mr. Vo Van Thanh Than, Director of Center of Vietnam-Japan Human Resources Development, and Deputy Dean of Faculty of Languages and International Cultures; and Dr. Nguyen Kim Thoa, Deputy Director of the International Institute.

The two parties had a meeting to promote international cooperation

During the working session, both sides reviewed the cooperation results achieved in recent times. The University of Fukui highly appreciated the international learning environment at UEF and expressed its desire to send students to participate in short-term programs such as international semesters, academic exchanges, and cultural experience activities. This is an opportunity for Fukui students to learn about Vietnam’s education system, people, and culture while also helping UEFers expand their international network and enhance their multicultural communication skills.

The two sides discussed new collaborative orientation based on previous cooperation results

In UEF's perspective, the collaboration with University of Fukui not only brings academic benefits but also contributes to promote the goal of internationalizing education, affirming the university's position in developing internationally standardized training programs. Since 2019, UEF has implemented a mobility program at the University of Fukui, providing students with opportunities to experience Japan's modern educational environment. Participants in the program have gained valuable hands-on experiences in professional knowledge, adaptability, and integration skills in a multinational setting.
Professor Koji Kobata emphasized that University of Fukui aims to continue strengthening its partnership with UEF, expanding student exchange programs, and creating opportunities for faculty members from both institutions to collaborate on research and share teaching experiences. This is also an important step forward in offering students from both universities more options for studying, researching, and personal development in an international environment.

Partner’s representatives visited UEF campus in their comeback time

The meeting between UEF and Fukui University once again reaffirmed UEF's commitment to expand global partnerships, providing students with high-quality opportunities for international learning and exchange. With these initiatives, UEFers will have increasing opportunities for comprehensive development, preparing them to integrate into the global labor market in the future.
