In 2018 and 2019, the British Council in Vietnam is allocating seed funding grants ranging from £30,000 to £60,000 each to support collaborative partnerships between the UK and Vietnam through the UK – Vietnam Higher Education Partnership (UK-VN HEP) initiative.

The UK-VN HEP is designed to address the needs of the higher education sector in the UK and Vietnam, particularly the internationalisation of higher education (HE) strategy by the Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam.

British Council is pleased to invite Expressions of Interest (EOI) from UK and Vietnam higher education institutions (HEIs) to deliver innovative output-led projects that focus on enhancing approaches to internationalisation of higher education. The partnership project will run until December of 2019 and cover one or more of key areas below:

• Leadership and Governance
• TNE development and quality assurance
• University Industry Link
