EduShare project kick-off ceremony
The official kick-off ceremony for EduShare, a new project on joint capacity building in biomedical higher education co-financed by the Erasmus+ programme, was held at Hue University on Monday, and I was invited to attend. The kick-off was held at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, in a lecture hall so beautifully decorated with amazing flower arrangements*. Professor Cao Ngoc Thanh, Rector of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, was the host of the event and he held a very engaging and supporting introductory speech.
I was happily surprised to find two colleagues from Karolinska Institutet taking part in the project, which aims to “assist Vietnamese universities providing higher education and training to future healthcare professionals who contribute to improving the health of the local people” (according to the programme coordinators at Tartu University, Estonia). Of course there was also time to meet and network with new acquaintances from all the participating countries.
* I must admit that I am very fond of flowers and gardens, so this is a perfect desination for that as well…
