The objective of the project is to support the Vietnamese students in the field of ICT to transfer their knowledge to the businesses and community by providing them with - directly and through teachers - new skills and activities to adapt them effectively to the IT-market as entrepreneurs or employees. The partner universities will also be supported to enhance their collaboration with the industry in order to benefit students, teachers and the community. The project proposes: 1) Development of the curricula by developing entrepreneurial, IT-related and industry-relevant methods of teaching, new content and introducing extracurricular activities that support entrepreneurialism. Providing the students and teaching staff with entrepreneurship skills and mind-set will stimulate the creation of business start-ups, ultimate goal of this project and create new jobs to answer the increase number of graduates every year. It will also provide the students and teaching staff with a new way of thinking fostering innovation being a requirement to support Vietnam’s growth.2) Improvement of a more consistent way of communicating and collaborating with the regional businesses and other actors - University Business-Collaboration UBC. These activities help the universities to increase the work-life relevance of the teaching through joint projects with the industry as well as to commercialize their research output. It will reinforce the capacity of the universities to network effectively with the community supporting scientific cooperation and knowledge exchange.3) An evaluation of the partner universities current practices towards a more entrepreneurial university and recommendations for improvement will allow the Vietnamese universities to identify their strengths and weaknesses and upgrade their facilities and practices to be more innovative and competitive.

This project aims to reinforce the staff and lab capacity, thereby enhancing the quality of education and training programmes in molecular and materials sciences (MMS) at four Vietnamese universities: Can Tho University, Quy Nhon University, University of Education – The University of Danang and Hanoi National University of Education. This will be done through intensive collaborations with three European universities: KU Leuven, University of Twente and University of Rostock. The main objective of this project is to develop research-based modules in MMS, which will be integrated into the current curricula in chemistry and physics at the four Vietnamese partner universities (VPU). 24 courses in MMS will be adapted by professors from the European partner universities (EPU), who will be responsible for teaching these courses in this project. At the end of the project, four research-based curricula in MMS are developed. This project emphasizes the staff exchange between the VPU and the EPU. In addition to the visits of EPU professors to deliver the courses at the four VPU, young staff of VPU will be visiting EPU to follow scientific and soft-skills training courses for two months. By following the courses given by EPU professors and experts, knowledge in MMS and teaching experiences and skills of VPU staff are improved, which is needed for VPU staff to take over the 24 courses in the following years. The project also focuses on the improvement of academic English for both staff and students at the four VPU. For this purpose, specialized English courses will be designed and given by experts from EPU. In addition, to implement the research-based curricula, a portion of upto 30% of the project budget will be used to upgrade the lab facilities at the four VPU. Moreover, to raise public awareness about the role of science and to attract students to start science education, especially students from remote areas in Vietnam, appropriate plans for dissemination are designed.

VIETMUS will promote the digital transformation and create a new digital capacity in teaching and performing in Vietnam’s music HEIs.

Over the past 50 years, the continued miniaturization of transistors has allowed them to run faster and dissipate less energy. This meant more efficient computation and radical changes in the electronics industry. On the same time, automation and robotics have also developed all these years to an unprecedented level: faster and more flexible production lines and higher level of automation have been created.This radical change affected all the industrial and societal sectors, and it is difficult for a country to keep-up to the globalization changes, if its educational system does not keep-up with these. For specific regions of Asia however, this process have not been developed adequately. To this end, the Digi-CHE-Asia project focuses on enhancing the Digital Capacities of these countries through specific actions and cross-fertilization of ideas and methodologies with successful examples from Europe.The Digi-CHE-Asia project has 3 main pillars: a) the enhancement of undergraduate studies via suggestions to optimize curricula, b) the development of an innovative MSc programme in relation also with VET courses for professionals and c) the inclusion of public and private stakeholders, especially from the manufacturing and high-tech industry in order to give the opportunity to students and professionals to increase their capacities in Electronics, Automation and Robotics (EAR) and thus becoming invaluable assets to the modern industries.Additionally, Digi-CHE-Labs will be created in order to create a focal point of EAR in each University, where interested students, academics, professionals and industry experts will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and keep up-to-date with the new technological advancements.It is expected that the Digi-CHE-Asia project will have an important impact at academic, industrial and societal level, allowing the participating countries to become important players in the manufacturing and high-tech industry.
