During the meeting at Deakin University, both sides shared their strategic priorities in research and innovation and explored collaboration opportunities in key areas, including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, advanced materials, and energy. The discussions also focused on strengthening connections between research groups, expanding academic exchange programs, and developing long-term collaborative research initiatives.
In the afternoon, the delegation participated in a thematic session on Victoria's university–industry–government collaboration model. The discussions highlighted the importance of transparent governance, government support in enabling innovation, and stronger industry engagement to accelerate innovation and research commercialization.
Through these engagements, the delegation gained valuable insights into innovation ecosystem development and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The experience provides an important reference for VNUHCM as it continues to strengthen international partnerships, foster closer collaboration among universities, industry, and government, and advance science, technology, and innovation in the years ahead.
