On 29 May 2024, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Quang Van Phan visited Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences and was warmly welcomed by University President Prof. Dr. Jörg Wagner. In his dual role as First Secretary of the Education Department of the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in Germany and Professor of Environmental Sciences at Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Professor Phan was informed about current partnerships and cooperation in the areas of research, student exchange and the study situation of students from Vietnam at the Studienkolleg and the university. In addition, the development and establishment of further cooperation opportunities with Vietnamese educational institutions was discussed.

Following the discussion with University President Wagner, Professor Phan visited the preparatory college, the hike lab and the labs in the URT department. Lutz Göcke, the project manager of the university/start-up incubator "hike" and professor in the Digital Product Management department, who himself maintains intensive contacts with Vietnam, as well as with Mr Einicke, laboratory engineer in the Environmental and Recycling Technology department, Professor Phan was able to gain his own impression of the excellent study programmes and conditions at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences in the field of economics and engineering. Professor Phan has already communicated his impressions of Nordhausen as a study location to several Vietnamese universities in order to initiate new partnerships.
