On July 26, 2023, Eastern International University (EIU) welcomed a delegation of faculty and students from Portland State University, United States, for an exchange program.
The purpose of this visit was to provide an opportunity for Portland State University to explore EIU’s learning environment and its innovative ecosystem, as well as the VSIP industrial park located in Binh Duong. During the visit, the Portland State University delegation was impressed by the landscape and the well-equipped facilities, including laboratory systems invested in by EIU. Additionally, the innovative ecosystem developed within the university, comprising units such as the Becamex Business Incubator, Fablab, Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC), and Industry 4.0 Innovation Center (IIC), served as a model for faculty and students from Portland State University to learn from and gain insights. These units not only contribute to the internal learning and research activities of EIU but also foster an entrepreneurial spirit and innovation for the broader community.
Furthermore, the delegation also visited the VSIP industrial park and Wus Tech Co., Ltd in Binh Duong. As one of the modern and exemplary industrial parks, VSIP attracts domestic and foreign investors and generates abundant job opportunities in various fields. Being part of the Becamex ecosystem, both VSIP and EIU support each other in their relationships with academia and businesses. EIU provides high-quality human resources to meet the needs of VSIP and the Southern region in general, while VSIP attracts talent and creates job opportunities for EIU students. Many EIU graduates begin and develop their careers at VSIP.
The program to welcome the delegation from Portland State University is one of many initiatives aimed at strengthening EIU’s international exchange and cooperation activities. It not only fosters student and faculty exchanges between the two universities but also provides an opportunity for both institutions to share and update their knowledge.
