Recently, the University of Danang - University of Science and Education (UD-UED) has taken significant steps to enhance its collaboration with Japanese universities, focusing on academic exchange and research initiatives. Notably, the university has signed a cooperation agreement with Mie University (Tsu City, Mie Prefecture) and engaged in partnership discussions with Saga University (Saga Prefecture).

On July 30, 2025, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between UD-UED and Mie University at the Mie University campus.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Vo Van Minh, Rector of UD-UED, this strategic agreement opens up promising prospects and opportunities for building a dynamic, modern, and internationally connected academic ecosystem.

The scope of cooperation has been comprehensively expanded, encompassing faculty exchanges, dispatching experts for teaching and specialized research, co-organizing scientific conferences, as well as student and postgraduate exchanges and internships. Both institutions will also collaborate in organizing short-term training courses and summer programs.

Priority areas for joint development include interdisciplinary and advanced research in education, engineering-environment, biotechnology, and sustainable agriculture.

At Saga University, UD-UED delegation held working sessions with university leaders and the Faculty of Agriculture, focusing on cooperation in smart agriculture, applied biotechnology, and environmental and ecological protection.
