Our goals
Driving impactful research and engagement
Our goal is to foster sustainable, mutually beneficial cooperation between Australia and Vietnam across all levels of higher education and research engagement.
Led by Institute Director Professor Thu-Anh Nguyen, we work collaboratively and innovatively to:
Support highly-productive research networks between the University and partner institutions in Vietnam
Facilitate multi-disciplinary research in Vietnam which improves the health and related wellbeing of individuals, communities and the environments in which they live
Build leadership in cross-cultural research, and
Integrate sustainability across all activities.
The Institute plays an important role in facilitating rigorous and high-quality research which can contribute to the body of knowledge at a global level. The potential impact is substantial, with far-reaching benefits for local and global communities.
By facilitating intellectual and cultural exchange between Australian and Vietnamese researchers, we can expand our understanding of different research perspectives, methodologies, and approaches. We strive to bring diverse thinking to our work and translate research findings to tangible outcomes that benefit society.
Our staff are dedicated to advancing research and partnerships which address technological and societal challenges, with research areas including medicine and health, agriculture and food safety, the environment, economics, and arts and social sciences.
