The initiative aims to create opportunities to enhance faculty and student mobility in the process of internationalizing higher education.

A key highlight of this year's internship program is its scale, featuring a large cohort of students from UniCA and Paris-Panthéon-Assas University. A total of 1 professor and 54 international students are participating in professional activities, research, and academic experiences at UD - DNIIT.

Along with that, the number of research topics deployed this time has also seen a vibrant increase, with 28 scientific projects focusing on advanced technological fields, including: 1.Artificial Intelligence (AI), Applied Machine Learning, and Deep Learning; 2.Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics, and Computer Vision; 3.Embedded Systems, Edge AI, and IoT; 4.Rescue Applications, Smart Cities, and the Environment; 5.Software Engineering, Testing, and Blockchain; 6.Renewable Energy, Biomedicine, and Medicinal Chemistry.

Sharing his thoughts with the international student delegation, Prof. Dr. Sc. Bui Van Ga highly appreciated the cooperation between UD and UniCA, highlighted by the success of the student internship exchange program. According to him, this program not only strengthens the connection of knowledge and technology in the trend of globalization, but also offers partner students the opportunity to gain professional experience, engage in cultural exchanges, and explore the beautiful, hospitable coastal city of Da Nang.

According to the plan, with the dedicated guidance and mentorship from the expert team and collaborators of UD-DNIIT, member universities, and partner institutions, the UniCA student delegation will undergo a 5-month internship.
