In addition to training and research partnerships with units within the Vietnam National University, Hanoi, the Faculty of Anthropology and Religious Studies has established relationships with numerous training and research units and organizations both domestically and internationally. Notably, this includes the support and cooperation of the Ford Foundation and the Wenner-Gren Global Anthropology Foundation in developing and innovating training programs and enhancing the research and teaching capabilities of its faculty.
