From November 20, 2023, to November 26, 2023, students from the Becamex Business School, School of Engineering, and School of Computing and Information Technology at EIU had the opportunity to visit, experience, and gain valuable knowledge through a field trip to various businesses, organizations, and educational institutions in Singapore.

This program is designed to provide students with the chance to expand their knowledge and understand the differences between theory and practical experience. During the trip, students visited and learned from various reputable businesses, organizations, and educational institutions such as Makino Singapore Pte Ltd, Addicon Logistics Management, Omron Automation Center, Singapore Indian Development Association, Nanyang Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Block 71 – NUS, and more.

At each business, students observed different management and operational models, gaining insights into the working environments of various companies and organizations. This allowed them to understand international work and study environments, meet market requirements, and enhance their knowledge and experience, contributing to their personal and professional development.

Additionally, according to the schedule, students also explored famous landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands, Esplanade Theatre, Garden by the Bay, etc., to exchange ideas and learn about the society, cuisine, and cultural diversity between nations.

Following the program, students will have reflections and presentations on their experiences and the knowledge acquired during their field trip.

On June 30, 2023, Eastern International University (EIU) held the Opening Ceremony for the Cyber Security Center.

The aim of this is to create an environment for students, faculty, and partnering businesses to study, collaborate, conduct research, and receive practical training with the latest technologies. As a result, the two entities agreed to establish the Cyber Security Center at EIU. Leveraging the university’s strengths in training and research in the field of Information Technology and Communication, along with the support from ARIS Company, the Cyber Security Center will serve as a training ground for students on topics related to cybersecurity. It will also organize workshops and training programs for various disciplines, conduct research projects for faculty and student initiatives, and facilitate research collaborations between students and faculty members on cybersecurity topics. Additionally, the center will serve as a platform for knowledge updates and technology transfer in the areas of safety and information security for the community.

Speaking at the Opening Ceremony, Dr. Ngo Minh Duc emphasized that the future goal of the Cyber Security Center is not only to provide a conducive environment for students to study, practice, and research the latest technologies, but also to expand cooperation with business partners to undertake projects, provide solutions, training, and transfer of new technologies related to cyber security.

During the event, Ms. Ikuko Kobayashi, Chairwoman of ARIS Corporation, highlighted that ARIS will accompany the University in developing the Cyber Security Center, contributing to the training and supply of high-quality human resources to meet societal demands.
