HCM CITY – Vietnamese and European universities are developing a research-based curriculum in molecular and materials sciences (MOMA).
The project, which will last until 2022, is co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Programme.
It kicked off on Tuesday at Cần Thơ University in the Mekong Delta region.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Professor Hà Thanh Toàn, rector of Cần Thơ University, said the project would improve the capacity of lecturers and upgrade labs at universities in Cần Thơ, Quy Nhơn, and Đà Nẵng, and Hà Nội National University of Education.
Twenty-four subjects related to molecular and materials sciences will be integrated into chemistry and physics programmes.
The subjects will be taught by the European partner universities, KU Leuven, University of Rostock, and University of Twente.
After the project ends, four research-based curricula in molecular and materials sciences will be developed.
Assoc. Prof Bùi Thị Bửu Huệ, coordinator of the project, said that most activities would focus on exchange of scientists between Vietnamese and European universities and English for Vietnamese university lecturers.
Vietnamese lecturers will attend two-month training courses at the European partner universities.
Molecular and materials sciences develop modern applications for medicine, pharmaceuticals, electronic engineering, environmental treatment, alternative energy and other fields.
In Việt Nam, many universities have integrated molecular and materials sciences into their training programmes, but the number of lessons have been limited, according to Cần Thơ University. – VNS
