In addition to our close collaboration with bar associations, the Magazine has established and continues to expand partnerships with several law training institutions in Hanoi. The signing of this cooperation agreement with DTU today marks a significant milestone, opening up new opportunities in education, research, and professional legal practice.
We aim to contribute to the dissemination of scientific research outcomes, especially students’ academic works and publications, while also developing reputable academic forums that enable students to engage in a professional research environment and effectively bridge theory with practice. In the coming period, the Magazine will actively facilitate opportunities for DTU students to participate in academic activities and publish research papers and professional articles, thereby contributing to the enhancement of educational quality and scientific research.”
Accordingly, the parties agreed to implement a range of practical initiatives, including professional mentoring and career orientation for students, academic development and scientific research, as well as the provision of resources and facilities to support training activities. This important partnership not only helps ensure that the university’s curriculum remains closely aligned with real societal and professional needs, but also enables enterprises to engage early in nurturing a high-quality legal workforce with strong professional competencies.
