The University of Peradeniya and Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) in Vietnam have discussed future collaborations and academics at the faculties of management studies in both universities are set to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) soon.

Last week, the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Vietnam facilitated a virtual meeting between the academics of the faculties of management studies at the University of Peradeniya and TDTU.

Academics of both universities shared views and exchanged ideas on possible future collaborations between students through academic exchanges, collaborative research, participation in international conferences, short study visits for post graduate students and the offering of short online academic programmes, a Foreign Ministry official said.

The academics agreed to sign an MoU to consolidate and formalise these activities, and to initiate immediate action on the identified areas for cooperation, the official added.

Due to the strong similarities between the faculties of management at both universities, there can be numerous opportunities for cooperation in the future, Dr. Dinh Hoang Bach, the Director of the International Cooperation, Research and Training Institute at Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) said.

Prof. Athula Ekanayake, the Dean of the Faculty of Management Studies at the University of Peradeniya, said his faculty was willing to pursue avenues in international exposure for both students and academic staff through international collaborations of this nature.
