- QIS Scholarship Program 2025: As one of the highlights of the partnership, this program is designed to support and encourage students who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance and research achievements. The scholarship serves not only as a recognition of students’ efforts but also as a source of motivation, inspiring them to continue striving for excellence in their academic and research pursuits.

- Applied Scientific Research Collaboration: Both sides agreed to promote cooperation in high-impact applied research activities. QIS will “commission” research topics and projects closely related to production and technical inspection practices while encouraging the Faculty to proactively propose new and innovative research directions that meet industry needs and align with modern technological trends. This initiative serves as an important bridge, enabling lecturers and students to apply their expertise to real-world challenges and practical problem-solving.

- Corporate Internship Program: Through a two-month internship at QIS, students will have the opportunity to experience a professional working environment and engage directly with non-destructive testing and inspection processes in the engineering field. The program helps students develop professional skills, strengthen their work discipline, and gain valuable practical experience - laying a solid foundation for their future careers.

Overview of the meeting and discussion session

In the near future, both parties agreed to continue implementing key collaborative activities, including:

- Awarding QIS Scholarships 2025 to outstanding students of the Faculty of Physics – Engineering Physics.
