At Quảng Ninh University of Industry, internationalization is not an abstract concept; it is a measurable strategic objective embedded in our development roadmap for 2030. Our commitment to global integration is reflected in a robust set of key performance indicators (KPIs) that track our progress in mobility, research collaboration, and capacity building.
As an institution participating in the prestigious Erasmus+ STRIVE project, QUI has adopted rigorous European standards for monitoring and evaluating our international activities. This data-driven approach ensures that our global partnerships translate into tangible benefits for our students, faculty, and the broader community.
Expanding Global Mobility
The most vibrant indicator of our international dimension is the movement of people. Over the past five years, we have witnessed a significant upward trajectory in both inbound and outbound mobility.
- Student Mobility: We have moved beyond passive observation to active participation. Through credit transfer programs and short-term cultural exchanges, QUI students are increasingly exposed to educational environments in Europe and ASEAN countries.
Quang Ninh University of Industry organized a celebration marking the 50th Anniversary of the National Day of the Lao People's Democratic Republic (December 2, 1975 – December 2, 2025).
- Faculty Exchange: Our lecturers are our bridge to the world. A growing percentage of our faculty now holds advanced degrees from international universities. Furthermore, through the STRIVE framework, our administrative and academic staff regularly participate in training workshops in Italy, Portugal, and beyond, bringing back best practices in university governance and pedagogical innovation.
Strategic Partnerships and Projects
Numbers speak volumes about trust. QUI has successfully expanded its network of formal cooperation agreements.
- Erasmus+ STRIVE Participation: Being a core member of the STRIVE consortium (Strengthening Internationalization of Vietnamese Emerging Universities) is our flagship indicator. This project, funded by the European Commission, places QUI in a direct working relationship with leading institutions like the University of Bologna (AlmaLaurea) and the University of Évora. This is a clear metric of our capacity to manage complex, multi-stakeholder international projects.
- Bilateral Agreements: Beyond the EU, our footprint extends to partners in East Asia and Southeast Asia, focusing on joint training programs in technical disciplines.
Research and Academic Output
Internationalization is also measured by the dissemination of knowledge. QUI is prioritizing research that transcends borders.
- Joint Publications: We track a steady increase in co-authored papers by QUI researchers and international colleagues in indexed journals (Scopus/ISI). The focus has shifted towards global challenges such as Sustainable Energy, Environmental Management in Mining, and Heritage Tourism.
- International Conferences: QUI has become a hub for international dialogue, regularly hosting or co-hosting seminars that attract scholars from around the globe to discuss the future of industry and education in the 4.0 era.
These indicators are not just statistics; they are proof of QUI’s transformation. Every number represents a student whose worldview has been broadened, a lecturer who has gained new inspiration, and a research project that contributes to a better world. We are committed to transparency and continuous improvement, ensuring that every year, our international dimension becomes deeper, wider, and more impactful.
