The “Making the best Better” higher education conference focused on evaluating the practical results of the 10-year operation of the Stipendium Hungaricum program in Vietnam and discussing the direction of educational exchange between the two countries in the coming time.
In his opening speech, Mr. Tibor Baloghdi said that the Hungarian government established the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship program in 2013, aiming to attract international talents to study in this country. During that process, international students can receive attention and thorough training from the Hungarian education system, and at the same time have the opportunity to expand their network of friends and colleagues.
Director of the Department of International Cooperation, Ministry of Education and Training, Mr. Pham Quang Hung emphasized that there are currently 900 Vietnamese students studying in Hungary, of which 578 are studying under the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship. With the increasing interest from Vietnam in recent times, Hungary has increased the number of scholarships from 50 to 200.

Hungary's education system has been outstanding for over 650 years, with impressive achievements. Since 1905, the country of nearly 10 million people has won 15 Nobel Prizes, the most recent of which went to Katalin Karikó in the field of medicine.

In an interview with The Gioi & Viet Nam Newspaper, Professor Imre Felde, Vice Rector in charge of Business and Industry Relations, Óbuda University, said that Hungary gradually established cooperative relations with Vietnamese universities in 2013, including signing agreements and memorandums of understanding in the fields of science and education. Together with the coordination of partners in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, the two sides began to build and operate educational and applied research projects.
The reason the Hungarian government increased the scholarship limit to 200 is because Vietnamese students in Hungary have demonstrated their academic talent and dynamism in extracurricular activities. Therefore, Hungary expects to have more opportunities to cooperate with Vietnamese professors and students in the future.
