Social Innovation Linkages for Knowledge Exchange Network – Viet Nam (SILKEN-VIETNAM) aims to establish ‘social innovation support units’ within six Vietnamese universities, partnering with similar units already operating within their UK counterpart institutions. The project, supported by the British Council's Going Global Partnerships programme, is a collaboration between two UK universities (Glasgow Caledonian University and University of Northampton), and six Vietnamese universities (National Economics University, VNU University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry, VNU University of Languages and International Studies, Duy Tan University, and Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry).
In March 2024, SILKEN-VIETNAM will work with COIL4PURPOSE, a project funded by the Scottish Government to co-host a dissemination workshop to present projects' concepts, key findings and best practices.
