On October 30, 2026, a delegation from Hiroshima University (HU), led by Executive Vice President (Global Initiatives) Shinji Kaneko, visited Phenikaa University in Vietnam for a signing ceremony to conclude a university-level international exchange agreement.

The ceremony was attended by Dr. Le Anh Son, President of Phenikaa University, Executive Vice President Kaneko, and other representatives from HU. The agreement marks a further step toward strengthening collaboration between the two universities in education and research.

HU's Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering and Graduate School of Innovation and Practice for Smart Society have already concluded faculty-level international exchange agreements with Phenikaa University and are conducting joint research in the field of smart mobility. The new university-level agreement is expected to expand this existing collaboration to the university-wide level.

On the same day, the J-WISE Alliance Study in Japan Information Session was also held at Phenikaa University. At the event, seven national universities in western Japan, including HU, introduced their respective educational and research environments and highlighted the benefits of studying in Japan to high school students, university students, and educators.

Building on this agreement, HU aims to further strengthen its partnership with Phenikaa University and expand educational and research exchanges with Vietnam through student mobility, joint research, and other collaborative initiatives.
