The Canada–Vietnam Academic Mobility Project: Toward Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Governance in the Indo-Pacific aims to strengthen university cooperation between the two countries by supporting research and training in the areas of inclusive and sustainable economic governance in the Indo-Pacific. Led by the NEME Chair, the initiative will award ten research grants (five for graduate students and five for professors/researchers) for 3–4-month stays in Vietnam, in partnership with two institutions: the Foreign Trade University in Hanoi and the University of Law in Ho Chi Minh City.
