Discussion on cooperation agreement with the French Overseas Academy of Sciences

At the meeting, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Khanh introduced the activities and cooperation of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities with French universities and research institutes. The Rector said: The University of Social Sciences and Humanities is currently implementing training cooperation programs with the universities of Paris, Toulouse I, Toulouse II... Along with that, many research programs, scientific projects, and international conferences have also been jointly implemented. In particular, the University is one of the active members of the Francophone University Agency (AUF). The visit and work of professors and scientists from the French Academy of Overseas Sciences to the University is a good start and promotes the cooperative relationship between the two sides in the coming time. The Rector hopes that the University will receive cooperation and assistance from the Institute in training, research, and international cooperation. And it is proposed that the two sides need to have a cooperation agreement to be able to implement specific activities.

Mr. Pierre Gény, representative of the French Overseas Academy of Sciences, agreed that the two sides should soon have a cooperation agreement and hoped that the two sides would have long-term cooperation in the future. Mr. Pierre Gény emphasized: The French Overseas Academy of Sciences is ready to be a bridge to connect the training and research network between French universities and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. At the same time, the Institute is always ready to share documents, research experiences and welcome Vietnamese experts and scientists to come to do research.

The French Academy of Overseas Sciences was founded on May 18, 1923, at the initiative of journalist Paul Bourdarie. The Academy is a scientific organization, conducting research in the fields of science, politics, economics, technology, history, society, culture and issues of overseas countries. It is also an organization that brings together the most representative French and foreign scientists in the above fields, with scientific and non-profit purposes.
