Dr. Ly Thien Trang openly discussed the challenges of implementing the TNE program at HUTECH and other universities in Vietnam. She highlighted that the traditional Vietnamese education system still struggles with limitations in practicality and flexibility, presenting notable contrasts to modern educational models from the UK. Furthermore, the processes and policies for managing international partnership programs require additional time for development and refinement.

A key moment of the meeting was the announcement of HUTECH's official membership in the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), initiated by the United Nations. As the ninth university in Vietnam to join the network, HUTECH is dedicated to advancing green initiatives and fostering sustainable development. To support this mission, HUTECH will host the GSETS 2025 (Green Sustainable Technology Solutions) International Conference, which will focus on innovative green and sustainable technology solutions. The event is anticipated to draw international experts and researchers, offering students valuable opportunities to engage with cutting-edge knowledge and ideas in this vital field.
