The University of Technology Sydney and Vietnam National University (VNU) have developed a multi-faceted, dynamic and truly collaborative partnership, culminating in the establishment of a joint research centre through VNU University of Engineering and Technology. VNU proposed a purpose-built facility at Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park, and has allocated space in their Hanoi campus until construction at Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park is complete.
The Joint Technology and Innovation Research Centre (JTIRC) between UTS and VNU is the first of its kind between Australia and Vietnam. The research centre aims to foster excellence in research collaboration and technology transfer through PhD training, expert exchange programs and industry engagement.
