At Guangxi University, the HUMG delegation engaged in academic activities, cultural exchanges, and partnership meetings in an open and collaborative international environment. In addition to thematic lectures and workshops, students toured the campus and laboratories, wore traditional Chinese costumes, painted folk masks, and immersed themselves in Chinese melodies through singing and cultural performances—experiences that were both enriching and culturally immersive. Representatives from Vietnamese universities also met with the university’s International Office to discuss future directions for academic programs, research cooperation, and student exchanges.

HUMG students brought with them positive energy, a proactive spirit, and self-confidence. Each day unfolded as a new journey—broadening their perspectives and offering opportunities for connection, exploration, and personal growth. As one student emotionally shared: “From classrooms to field trips, every day in Guangxi felt like turning a new page in a book.”
Meanwhile, the HUMG delegation also took part in the International Summer Camp on Low-Carbon Metallurgy and Green Energy, hosted by Kunming University of Science and Technology. This nearly month-long academic program focused on two critical topics: low-carbon metallurgy and green energy—key areas for advancing global goals in sustainable development, green growth, and Net Zero emissions by 2050. HUMG students attended in-depth lectures on vacuum metallurgy, next-generation cathode materials, solid-state battery technologies, precious metal recovery, and photovoltaic innovation, all delivered by leading experts and international scholars.
Beyond classroom learning, students also visited major enterprises such as Yunnan Aluminium Group and Yunnan Germanium, among others, where they observed production lines and explored real-world applications of advanced technologies. Group research projects, academic discussions, presentations, and international student exchanges were integrated throughout the program, helping students refine their academic thinking, communication skills, and adaptability in global environments.

Notably, HUMG students also formed meaningful connections with Lao students during the program, further strengthening the spirit of friendship between the younger generations of the two neighboring countries—within the vibrant international academic setting of Kunming.

Participation in both academic programs not only gave HUMG students access to cutting-edge knowledge and emerging technologies, but also demonstrated the university’s steady progress toward its mission of cultivating high-quality human resources and integrating research with knowledge and technology transfer in the context of internationalization. From international classrooms to field-based research, from cultural immersion to scholarly dialogue—these experiences nurtured a global mindset, professional competence, and a spirit of collaboration among HUMG’s younger generation. This summer was more than just meaningful; it marked a milestone in HUMG’s journey toward becoming a multidisciplinary, research-oriented university with strong national and international standing by 2030.
