VinUni and Queensland enhance collaborative partnership in nursing research
VinUniversity’s Bachelor of Nursing Program under the College of Health Sciences and the University of Queensland (UQ) jointly organized the “Collaboration in Nursing Research” seminar on January 16th and 17th, 2024.
Designed by the experts from UQ, the seminar’s agenda concentrated on essential topics on publishing and techniques in grant proposal writing. It attracted the participation of over 30 head nurses, deans, and professors from leading nursing units across Vietnam.
Amidst an ambiance of openness, mutual respect, and friendliness, the attendees exchanged insights, deliberated on current research initiatives, and extracted valuable learnings from both the triumphs and tribulations encountered in their research endeavors.

In addition, the event became a platform for presenting support and partnership proposals. Through these collaborative and networking endeavors, the attending nurses honed skills in confidence building, scholarly writing, and grant proposals for research writing and broadened their professional networks.
A significant outcome of the seminar was the formation of a research group on nursing competencies to secure funding, alongside the two studies poised for publication. The attendees pledged to foster sustained tight-knit connections, enhancing the creation of a robust international nursing research community.
Concluded on a high note, the Nursing program team received enthusiastic feedback from UQ representatives and all the participants. This event lays a crucial groundwork for the future endeavors of VinUni’s College of Health Sciences and the University of Queensland.
