SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH COOPERATION BETWEEN VIETNAM AND DENMARK
Friday, March 5, 2010 at 9:49AM The pilot research cooperation programme between Vietnam and Denmark, which has been running since 2008, held its first annual meeting on 4 March. Vietnamese researchers, the Danish delegation, and representatives from MOST agreed that results so far are promising.
With an overall thematic focus on climate change, the research collaboration programme (2008-2011) is piloting a new approach by letting Vietnamese researchers define the themes of the joint projects and select the Danish researchers they want to work with. Four projects are running so far, while a new call for proposals is expected to result in another two projects being approved during 2010.
The annual meeting was used to take stock of the preliminary experience, and Chairman of the Danish Consultative Research Committee for Development Research, Professor Henrik Secher Marcussen summarised this as follows: “We are at the turn of a new trend in international research cooperation where research is increasingly driven by national policies, strategies and priorities in partner countries. The programme in Vietnam is pioneering the trends that we want to promote, and I am pleased to see that it has evolved positively and has strong ownership from researchers and authorities in Vietnam. Three years are too short to produce solid and useful results and it is important to continue the programme for another three years to consolidate some of the on-going projects and initiate a number of new projects”. It was agreed that the pilot research cooperation programme should be continued for a further three year period (2012-2014).

According to my own analysis, millions of persons in the world get the loan at different creditors. Thence, there's good possibilities to find a collateral loan in every country.
I like their idea to focus on climate change, I guess that is one of the things that we ought to pay more attention to nowadays.
