Following the conference, on 8 June 2026, Assoc. Prof. Le Hieu Hoc visited Coventry University, United Kingdom, where he held discussions with Professor Katherine Wimpenny, Director of the Centre for Global Learning (GLEA), and Assoc. Prof. Dang Que Anh. The meeting focused on exploring opportunities for collaboration in research, academic programmes, staff development, and international initiatives for both faculty members and students. The two sides also exchanged ideas on potential cooperation in educational technology, innovative pedagogies, digital competence development, and the application of artificial intelligence in education.
A key outcome of the visit was the discussion of a roadmap for supporting HUST academic staff in pursuing doctoral studies at Coventry University, contributing to the long-term development of academic capacity and international research collaboration between the two institutions.
The mission to Ireland and the United Kingdom not only strengthened the international visibility and partnerships of the Faculty of Education but also opened up new opportunities for collaborative research, academic exchange, and professional development. These activities reaffirm the Faculty’s commitment to fostering innovation, international engagement, and lifelong professional learning in education.
