The Programme de Formation d’Ing\u00e9nieurs d’Excellence au Vietnam (PFIEV)<\/strong> is taking a new step forward in its international cooperation strategy: in 2026, the program’s French partners are preparing an Erasmus+ consortium application<\/strong>, with a dual structuring objective: to obtain KA130 accreditation<\/strong> (higher education mobility – consortium), then submit a KA171<\/strong> project (international credit mobility) to benefit mobility between France and Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n

This initiative, led by Grenoble INP – UGA<\/strong>, aims to consolidate and expand existing mobility programs under the PFIEV, while opening up new prospects for sustainable funding and greater access to academic mobility and internships for Vietnamese students.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

A French PFIEV consortium mobilized around a common goal<\/h2>\n\n

The project relies on a group of French establishments strongly committed to the PFIEV. The prospective consortium includes : <\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Grenoble INP – UGA<\/strong> (operational coordinator)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • CentraleSup\u00e9lec<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ENPC (\u00c9cole Nationale des Ponts et Chauss\u00e9es)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ITM Atlantic<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • INSA Lyon<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Toulouse INP<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • ISAE-ENSMA (Poitiers)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Polytech Marseille<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • with Lyc\u00e9e Louis-le-Grand<\/strong> for its key role in PFIEV’s scientific preparatory cycle<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    On the Vietnamese side, KA171 mobilities would target the four PFIEV academic partner universities<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • HUST<\/strong> (Hanoi University of Science and Technology)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • HUCE<\/strong> (Hanoi University of Civil Engineering)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • DUT<\/strong> (The University of Danang – University of Science and Technology)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • VNU-HCMUT<\/strong> (University of Technology – Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
      \n\n

      Why KA130 and KA171? A lever to strengthen grants and secure mobility <\/h2>\n\n

      The project responds to a concrete, shared need: to give a lasting boost to incoming mobility between Vietnam <\/strong>and<\/strong> France<\/strong>, particularly for study purposes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      In this context, Erasmus+ KA171<\/strong> is an essential lever for :<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • fund more scholarships<\/strong> for PFIEV students,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • make mobility more predictable<\/strong> and sustainable<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • secure regular flows to French partner establishments,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • reinforce staff mobility<\/strong> (teaching and administrative staff), which is essential to the quality of the program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Filing for KA130 (consortium)<\/strong> accreditation is an important preliminary step: it enables the PFIEV consortium to position itself as a credible collective structure, capable of subsequently carrying out a consolidated KA171 project in a highly competitive context.<\/p>\n\n

        \n\n

        Student mobility at the heart of the project – with a strong focus on inclusion<\/h2>\n\n

        The bid will give priority to funding the following types of mobility:<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        • study in France<\/strong> (one semester or one academic year),<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • internships \/ end-of-studies projects<\/strong> in French establishments and laboratories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          Particular attention will be paid to students with limited means: Erasmus+ grants are designed to remove financial obstacles, and may, where appropriate, be supplemented by the Erasmus+ Inclusion Supplement<\/strong>, to ensure fairer access to mobility opportunities.<\/p>\n\n

          \n\n

          Enhanced cooperation for staff: teaching, training of trainers, pedagogical innovation, etc.<\/h2>\n\n

          In addition to students, KA171 will also support staff mobility in both directions:<\/p>\n\n

            \n
          • France <\/strong>\u2192<\/strong> Vietnam<\/strong>: teaching and training assignments (pedagogical engineering, scientific and technical content, course development in English, languages, quality) ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Vietnam <\/strong>\u2192<\/strong> France<\/strong>: training and observation stays (immersion, exchanges of practices, academic cooperation).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            These mobilities play a key role in capacity building<\/strong>, and contribute directly to the quality and evolution of the PFIEV.<\/p>\n\n

            \n\n

            A complementary approach to existing financing PFIEV<\/h2>\n\n

            This Erasmus+ application is not intended to replace the PFIEV’s historical support, but to complement<\/strong> it.<\/p>\n\n

            The PFIEV consortium continues to rely on existing funding (in particular, subsidies from the French Embassy in Vietnam<\/strong> and support from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research<\/strong>) to ensure program coordination, annual steering and certain mobilities. Erasmus+ provides additional leverage for scaling<\/strong> up and stabilizing international mobility. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
