In a significant step towards fostering international collaboration and academic excellence, the University of Rizal System (URS) officially signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Nha Trang University (NTU) of Vietnam on May 7. This landmark agreement paves the way for a dynamic partnership focused on student and faculty exchange, collaborative research initiatives, and enriching cultural exchange programs.
The signing ceremony, held via Google Meet, marked a pivotal moment for both institutions, signifying their shared commitment to globalized education and cross-cultural understanding. Officials from both universities expressed enthusiasm for the opportunities this partnership will unlock.
The MOA outlines a comprehensive framework for cooperation, designed to benefit students and faculty alike. Key provisions of the agreement include student exchange programs, faculty exchange programs, collaborative research, and cultural exchange.
This collaboration is expected to not only enhance the academic offerings and international profile of both URS and Nha Trang University but also contribute to stronger ties between the Philippines and Vietnam. By actively promoting global partnerships, URS continues to demonstrate its dedication to providing its students with a world-class education and preparing them to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
The International Development and Special Projects (IDSP) Unit of URS, under the directorship of Prof. Jonas Ynares, facilitated the activity.
