Thai Nguyen University of Information and Communication Technology Welcomes and Works with the University of Quebec, Canada
On March 18, 2025, Thai Nguyen University of Information and Communication Technology (ICTU) hosted a welcoming and working session with a delegation from the University of Quebec, Canada. This event marks a significant step in promoting international cooperation between the two educational institutions, while also providing valuable learning opportunities for students, especially those of the International Training Institute (IIT) under ICTU.
The working session was divided into two main parts. The first part was a cooperation discussion between the two universities, held from 9:00 am to 10:00 am in Room 311, Building C1. Participating in the discussion were Dr. Vu Duc Thai – Vice-Rector of the University of Information and Communication Technology, and Assoc. Prof. Yannick Francillette – representative from the University of Quebec, Canada. The two sides had an in-depth exchange on cooperation opportunities in education, scientific research, and technology transfer, opening up prospects for joint projects in the future.
Following the discussion, from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, a specialized seminar on video game design and programming was held in the Library Hall. The seminar attracted the participation of a large number of students from the entire university, along with delegates such as Dr. Vu Duc Thai, Assoc. Prof. Yannick Francillette, representatives from the Department of Science – Technology and International Cooperation, as well as the International Training Institute. In particular, students from the International Training Institute (IIT) showed enthusiasm and actively participated, contributing to the success of the program. With their internationalized training background, IIT students not only quickly grasped the seminar content but also proactively asked questions and discussed with the speaker, leaving a strong impression with their learning spirit and integration ability.
The seminar presented by Assoc. Prof. Yannick Francillette provided insightful perspectives on the video game design and programming process – a rapidly developing field with great potential in the information technology industry. The lecture content not only provided professional knowledge but also inspired ICTU students, especially young people passionate about creativity and programming.
This event is not only an opportunity for ICTU to strengthen its cooperative relationship with the University of Quebec but also affirms the role of the International Training Institute in improving the quality of training, towards international standards. The active participation of IIT students is a clear demonstration of the proactiveness, creativity, and aspiration to reach out to the world of the younger generation at ICTU. It is hoped that, through activities like this, the cooperative relationship between the two universities will continue to grow, opening up more opportunities for students in the future.
