HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam-Australia research partnerships can develop new knowledge, resulting in policy changes that improve people's lives in Việt Nam and around the world, said University of Sydney professor Greg Fox at the Sydney Việt Nam Innovation Symposium in Hà Nội on Thursday. The Australian scholar, who also acts as the interim director of the university’s Sydney Southeast Asia Centre, said: “Việt Nam and Australia share many common and important challenges. Vietnamese and Australian institutions have witnessed extensive collaboration, with almost 5,000 joint research papers published over the last three years, according to Emma Johnston, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of Sydney. Among these, the 500 publications co-authored by the University of Sydney and researchers from Việt Nam have found over 43,000 citations, which is seen as proof of their impact. The event also includes panel discussions with experts from Việt Nam and Australia, where they discussed successful collaborations, key factors in fostering productive research partnerships, as well as the importance of transdisciplinary research to address complex problems in Việt Nam and Australia.
