Organised within the framework of the European Higher Education Week 2025, the two programmes gathering more than 300 representatives from nearly 100 universities in Viet Nam and EU as well as research institutions, and experts from both sides.

Alongside discussions on science, technology, and digital transformation, representatives of EU member states also shared insights on education policies, cooperative initiatives, and academic networking opportunities, demonstrating a consistent spirit of cooperation through the Team Europe approach.

The European Higher Education Week 2025 is organised under the campaign “Plug in to Evolution”— a flagship communication and public diplomacy initiative within the EU’s Global Gateway Strategy.

The campaign aims to promote skills development, the green transition, and sustainable cooperation through a series of creative, youth-oriented activities.

As such, the Higher Education Week serves not only as a bridge linking Vietnamese students with European universities, but also as part of a broader journey to foster a spirit of learning, creativity, and co-creation for a sustainable future.
