On June 6, 2025, at the Dinh Tien Hoang campus of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH-VNUHCM), the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities welcomed the Eurasia Center of John von Neumann University, Hungary, as part of a program promoting transnational research collaboration in geopolitics, economics, society, and regional integration initiatives between Asia and Europe.

The program was attended by representatives from both sides, including Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phan Thị Hồng Xuân – Director of the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities; Dr. Levente Horváth – Director of the Eurasia Center; and Ms. Erika Koskocki – Project Coordinator. Discussions focused on future-oriented cooperation in areas such as regional geopolitics, economic development, Asia–Europe integration progress, and multilateral academic connectivity.

Notably, the meeting opened concrete avenues for collaboration, including:

• Co-organizing bilateral academic conferences,
• Publishing research in international journals,
• Expert and student exchange programs,
• Joint studies on each institution’s areas of strength.

Cờ Thủy Tinh Châu – A cultural gift of friendship

During the meeting, the QiClash (Cờ Thủy Tinh Châu) board game was presented to Dr. Levente Horváth and Ms. Erika Koskocki as a cultural keepsake representing Vietnamese heritage. We are honored that QiClash was selected as a symbolic gift for such a meaningful academic occasion, highlighting cultural exchange and shared intellectual values between Asia and Europe.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Vietnam–Southeast Asia Friendship Association (VAFA) and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phan Thị Hồng Xuân for their support and guidance, which enabled QiClash to take part in this meaningful international academic exchange.
