Speaking at the meeting, Rector Hoang Anh Tuan expressed his gratitude for Meta Company's highly effective cooperation over the past two years, particularly in the project to enhance digital skills for students. The project's results are truly impressive: it has developed a digital competency framework for students, the first of its kind in Vietnam, and has been used by over 150 schools; it has organized numerous workshops and research projects; and it has maintained the operation of the Digital Version of the Humanities Club. This effective cooperation is proof that, despite being a leading training and research institution in the field of social sciences and humanities, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities can still be a pioneer in the field of digital transformation.
Representing Meta Company, Mr. Ruici Tio highly appreciated the efforts of the University and the results achieved by the project. He was also very pleased that the project's results have been widely used, bringing useful value to Vietnamese students and contributing to improving the quality of education. Therefore, in the future, Meta wishes to strengthen cooperation with the University of Social Sciences and Humanities to implement the next phase of this project.

- Promote the development of digital well-being for students: actively, positively, and safely participate in the digital environment; pay attention to mental health in the digital environment.
- Promote the application of AI in social life.
