Prior to their arrival in Poland, the students successfully completed the online learning phase from 23 February to 22 May 2026 with lecturers from AGH University of Science and Technology. The on-site programme in Kraków focused on environmental engineering, energy efficiency, sustainable construction, and innovative techniques for soil and groundwater monitoring.

Through lectures and practical activities, students gained new knowledge in environmental protection, efficient energy use, sustainable development, and the circular economy. The programme combined theoretical learning with practical application, enabling participants to explore modern technologies and research methods currently implemented across Europe.
One of the highlights of the programme was the laboratory and field-based training activities. Students visited modern laboratories and learned about renewable energy technologies, environmental monitoring systems, and sustainable building solutions. In addition, they had opportunities to interact and exchange ideas with lecturers, experts, and international students, thereby enhancing their communication, teamwork, and intercultural skills.

During their stay in Poland, the HUMG delegation visited several research centres, enterprises, and green technology facilities, including GPP Business Park IV, the Centre for Sustainable Development and Energy Conservation, SMAY headquarters, and other notable locations in Kraków. These experiences helped students better understand the application of science, technology, and innovation in sustainable urban development and environmentally responsible infrastructure.
In addition to academic activities, the students had the opportunity to explore Kraków, one of Europe’s oldest cultural and academic centres. Experiences with local culture, people, and everyday life further strengthened their confidence, adaptability, and international outlook.
HUMG students participated in cultural exchange activities and explored Poland during the programme.
After several weeks of online and face-to-face learning in English with international lecturers, all five HUMG students successfully completed the programme requirements, including coursework, practical assignments, and final assessments. At the closing ceremony, AGH University of Science and Technology awarded Micro-credential Certificates to participants who successfully completed the programme.

Reflecting on the experience, Truong Ngoc Toan from the Faculty of Petroleum and Energy shared:
"What I gained from this programme was not only academic knowledge but also the opportunity to meet friends from different countries, experience a new culture, and learn how to adapt to an international environment. It was truly a memorable journey that helped me grow and motivated me to pursue my future academic goals."
The students’ successful completion of the NAWA Strategic Partnership Programme 2026 reflected their academic competence, adaptability, and commitment to international learning. The programme also highlighted the effectiveness of the cooperation between Hanoi University of Mining and Geology and AGH University of Science and Technology in education, research, and academic exchange. The knowledge, skills, and international experience gained through the programme will serve as a valuable foundation for the students’ future academic and professional development.
