The event drew representatives from the Ministry of Education and Training as well as universities and organisation from seven Southeast Asian and European countries covered by a project funded by the European Commission.

Quy Nhon University and Da Nang University are two Vietnamese representatives at the conference.

Participants at the event shared their knowledge and experience related to human resources management and sought measures to foster their cooperation in the field.

At the conference, delegates held that the socio-economic development process and globalisation are affecting the management of human resources in tertiary education around the world.

In the Southeast Asian region, the human resources system has been affected by many factors, including the quality of human recourses at university level, State budget for education, demand of the labour market and the society, management mechanism, and approach to tertiary education.

Therefore, it is necessary to improve the human resources strategy in universities in Southeast Asian region, thus becoming more self-reliant in human resources matters, they said.

Experience shared at the event will provide participants more references in building their human resources, meeting the demand of their university.

On the occasion, seven universities in Southeast Asia signed a memorandum of understanding on the establishment of a network for the management and development of human resources.
