Workshop on “Needs Assessment in the area of Water and related Natural Resources
Management (WNRM)” at RMIT Vietnam, HCM city (May 17‐18, 2018)
Overview:
In order to identify the needs of institutions in training courses on WNRM in 3 partner countries (Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand), RMIT Vietnam sent out a survey to collect information to 8
institutions, including:
– Institute of Technology of Cambodia ‐ ITC (Cambodia)
– Royal University of Law and Economics (RULE) (Cambodia)
– National University of Management (NUM) (Cambodia)
– Chiang Mai University (The Regional Center for Social Science and Sustainable Development (RCSD)) (Thailand)
– Thammasat University (Thailand)
– University of Can Tho (Vietnam)
– Vietnam Maritime University (Vietnam)
– Graduate Academy of Social Sciences (Vietnam)
The survey included questions about current courses/degrees being offered at each institution, their future plan for new courses/degrees, their needs for any training that the project can provide with, their current staff with PhD degree and their expertise, and the institution’s network in the field of WNRM. After receiving the responses from all institutions, RMIT Vietnam conducted a preliminary analysis to learn more about their current direction, to identify their future need within the scope of the project based on their answer to the survey. Most institutions successfully pinpointed necessary courses and training workshops related to WNRM and some general workshops on research methodology, or teaching and learning practice with the expectation to learn more from other institution’s experience and to exchange knowledge with each other.
