World Class University Study Tour to Germany and the United States
From October 31, 2006 to November 4, 2006 and from December 1-8, 2006, VEF organized study tours to Germany and to the United States, respectively, as part of the “Project to Establish a World Class University in Vietnam”, for a Vietnamese delegation of ten project team members led by the Minister of Education and Training of Vietnam, Dr. Nguyen Thien Nhan.
The purpose of the study tours was three-fold: (1) to study different top-tier universities in a variety of countries in order to decide the most suitable model for Vietnam; (2) to learn from the experiences of other successful top level international universities; and (3) to get advice and input for the Feasibility Study from leading experts in academia from around the world.
