This year, UEH has achieved positive results in mobilizing international resources and

international projects. UEH University is currently participating in a total of 12
international projects, with 6 new projects approved in 2024, of which 4 have been
launched and 2 will begin implementation in 2025. The projects have been bringing
positive impacts on enhancing the reputation of UEH University, expanding the network
of relationships, and especially practical signi cance for the community and society when
the contents are implemented in the direction of sustainability, environmental

protection, digital transformation and ensuring food security for the people. Some results
include the evaluation of the nature-based solutions project with the general objective of
researching nature-based solutions to enhance water security for urban water use in
three cities in Southeast Asia: Chiang Rai, Can Tho and Phnom Penh. The GS4Infra project
funded by the Mekong Think Tank Programme has developed solutions to address
gender-sensitive issues arising in policy making and public sector development related to
water, energy and climate change infrastructure, focusing on ood control dykes,
irrigation canals and salinity control sluices in two communes in Cu Lao Dung District, Soc
Trang Province, which are facing challenges from climate change and hydropower

development upstream. The Empowering Change project aims to provide a course on
climate change and sustainable development for female researchers in Ho Chi Minh City.
