More than 40 senior leaders from 21 highly rated American universities will embark on a five-day study tour of Vietnam from March 31 to April 4 to forge new partnerships and strengthen academic collaboration with their Vietnamese counterparts, according to an announcement from the US Embassy in Vietnam.

This higher education delegation represents American public and private institutions in 17 states, ranging from research universities to community colleges.

They will explore Vietnam’s higher education landscape through campus visits, networking events and meetings with government and private sector stakeholders.

More than 30,000 students from Vietnam were enrolled at US education institutions in the 2023-24 academic year, collectively contributing more than 1 billion USD to the US economy.

Marc E. Knapper, US Ambassador to Vietnam, said: “As we celebrate 30 years of diplomatic relations, this US higher education delegation in Vietnam is a testament to the US fulfilling its commitments under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

“Expanding educational partnerships is crucial to the success of the US-Vietnam relationship. By bringing together top universities from both nations, we are creating new pathways for students and researchers to thrive in both countries.”

“Higher education partnerships between the US and Vietnam offer tremendous, mutually beneficial economic opportunities,” said Jason Czyz, President of the Institute of International Education.

“Researchers from our two countries can collaborate on a variety of STEM fields and create training programs that prepare students for the future of work.”

The International Academic Partnership Programme in Vietnam marks a bold step in expanding educational ties, fostering innovation and enhancing student and faculty exchanges between the two nations, the MoET said in an official statement.

Participating institutions from the US include Stanford University, Duke University, and Rutgers University, among many others.

Vietnamese universities participating in the program include several institutions under the Vietnam National University (International University, University of Information Technology, and University of Science) as well as the National Economics University and VinUniversity.
