SVI is a multidisciplinary research and engagement hub established as a social enterprise under the laws of Vietnam. It is designed to facilitate and strengthen intellectual and creative exchange between Australian and Vietnamese researchers, academics and the broader community. 

Building on the University of Sydney’s world-class education and research across a broad range of disciplines and its significant and long-standing academic partnerships in Vietnam over the last 50 years, SVI will realise the University’s vision for sustainable, mutually beneficial cooperation across all levels of higher education and research engagement.
