The program brought together more than 100 university leaders, managers, and faculty members from VNU-HCM's member institutions and affiliated units, alongside 12 distinguished scholars and academic leaders from leading Australian universities, including the University of Melbourne, Monash University, UNSW Sydney, the University of Adelaide, the University of Queensland, Swinburne University of Technology, and Flinders University.
As artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and rapid labor market changes continue to reshape higher education, the program focused on key topics including:
  • Interdisciplinary and integrated curriculum design
  • Learner-centered educational philosophy
  • Experiential Learning and Work-Integrated Learning (WIL)
  • Emerging trends in Australian higher education
  • Curriculum development and innovation processes
  • Adapting advanced educational models to the Vietnamese context
In his opening remarks, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Cao Vinh, Vice President of VNU-HCM, emphasized that curriculum innovation is a strategic mission aimed at building a modern educational ecosystem, strengthening interdisciplinarity, personalizing learning pathways, and fostering stronger connections among education, research, innovation, and societal development.
Through this initiative, VIH continues to serve as a bridge connecting VNU-HCM with international academic partners, contributing to educational innovation, enhancing training quality, and developing high-quality human resources for the innovation ecosystem in the digital era.
The training program will continue through June 12, 2026, featuring in-depth discussions and knowledge-sharing sessions on higher education innovation and experiential learning. Let's take a look back at some highlights from the first day of the program.
