01. UEH–Thammasat: Comparative Research on Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and Urban Design for Truong Tho
Date: 05–09/09/2025 Source: ISCM–UEH, published on 14 October 2025, “International Workshop: Urban Design Towards Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)”Article link: https://iscm.ueh.edu.vn/vi/student_life/workshop-quoc-te-thiet-ke-do-thi-huong-den-phat-trien-tod
|
Thammasat University (Thailand); 20 students (10 from Vietnam and 10 from Thailand); faculty members from both universities.
|
UEH and Thammasat jointly organised a field-based design studio and surveyed Truong Tho along Metro Line 1. They guided international student teams in mapping existing conditions, conducting SWOT analyses, and critically reviewing urban design proposals.
|
The teams compared conditions in Truong Tho with TOD lessons from Singapore, Germany, Spain, Malaysia, Japan, and China, focusing on access to stations within a 400–800 m radius, compact mixed-use urban development, and integration of walking, cycling, and public transport.
|
The Vietnamese–Thai teams presented proposals to transform industrial land into multifunctional spaces, strengthen metro–bus–pedestrian connections, introduce green infrastructure and drainage solutions, and explore land value capture mechanisms.

AVANS University of Applied Sciences (the Netherlands); 56 Vietnamese and Dutch students; six lecturers from four countries; professional consultation from Royal HaskoningDHV.
|
ISCM–UEH co-organised the workshop, provided local context, and guided field surveys in Thanh Da. The binational teams analysed flooding and riverfront spaces, and presented maps, models, and design proposals.
|
The teams compared current conditions in Thanh Da with Dutch approaches to water management, green infrastructure, ecosystem-based design, and participatory planning, adapting these lessons to the Saigon River context.
|
Four design themes were developed: Urban Wetlands and Waterscape; Urban Archipelago; Urban Hybrid Garden; and Urban Foodscape. The teams presented concept maps and climate-adaptive spatial frameworks; physical implementation had not been confirmed.

ASEAN Secretariat, UN-Habitat, the ASEAN Sustainable Urbanisation Forum (ASUF), and urbanisation experts from ASEAN member states.
|
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Trinh Tu Anh, representing UEH–ISCM, presented an urban co-creation model and participated in the Expert Group Meeting (EGM) on 14 August 2025 concerning the ASEAN Sustainable Urbanisation Report (ASUR).
|
The EGM discussed strategic directions, indicator frameworks, and case studies to compare urban policies across ASEAN countries and identify examples of sustainable urban development.
|
UEH contributed expert input to the development process for the second edition of ASUR (scheduled for publication in 2026). Its documented 2025 output comprised expert consultations on indicators and case studies.

04. UEH–Gothenburg: Comparative Research on Four Shrimp-Farming Systems and International Practice Benchmarks
Date: Published in 2025
Source: UEH Digital Repository, “Shrimp farming industry in Vietnam: An aquaculture performance indicators approach”, Aquaculture Economics & Management, 29(2), 2025Article link: https://digital.lib.ueh.edu.vn/handle/UEH/76098
|
Researchers Ho Quoc Thong and Do Huu Luat (UEH), and Håkan Eggert (University of Gothenburg, Sweden).
|
The international co-authors conducted quantitative research using the Aquaculture Performance Indicators (API) framework and a Triple Bottom Line approach to assess economic, social, and environmental performance.
|
The study compared four shrimp-farming systems in Vietnam—extensive, semi-intensive, intensive, and super-intensive—against global benchmarks for aquaculture and post-harvest practices.
|
The published findings indicated that intensive and super-intensive systems offered economic advantages, while intensive farming faced environmental challenges; extensive farming performed better environmentally. The research identified priorities for water management, wastewater management, and production efficiency, but did not establish that the industry had adopted a policy based on the paper.

University of Basilicata (Italy), Handong Global University (South Korea), local communities, and international scholars.
|
UEH–ISCM representatives shared UEH’s Co-Creation and Living Lab models and worked with partners to explore Living Lab initiatives in Potenza and Ascea Marina, engaging local communities on the revitalisation of inland regional economies.
|
They compared UEH’s Living Lab approach with Italian practices for testing social innovation solutions, regenerating spaces, developing agriculture, and conserving heritage in local communities.
|
UEH shared its co-creation experience and gained insights into community regeneration and heritage-based economic development. This was an academic exchange and experimentation activity.

|
The teams assessed livelihoods, agri-food business models, and local products, and discussed potential improvements informed by international experience in entrepreneurship and sustainable marketing.
|
The teams proposed green marketing strategies, business model innovation, product value enhancement, and market expansion. Their reports were reviewed by lecturers from UEH, FHNW, and UTM. This was a practical exercise in jointly developing solutions.
