Various avenues for collaboration were discussed, including short-term student exchanges, international weeks, and summer camps, providing European students with the chance to immerse themselves in Vietnamese culture. Furthermore, the Faculty of Technology and Saxion University explored opportunities to exchange lecturers and collaborate on research, aiming to enhance teaching expertise and scientific research in the realms of digital transformation and business model innovation.

Following the working session with faculty members, a seminar was conducted with students from the joint class of the Faculty of Finance and Banking. During this seminar, representatives from Saxion University shared comprehensive information about courses and study opportunities at their institution. Students from the Faculty of Human Resources also seized the opportunity to interact and pose questions, gaining insights into the school, curriculum, and practicalities such as accommodation costs and scholarships for the transition period abroad.
