On October 20, 2026, Vietnam and Denmark established a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The Joint Statement focuses on areas that can bring practical benefits to both countries, from science, technology, and green transition to healthcare, education, and people-to-people exchanges. On the same day, at the Vietnam–Denmark Business Forum, agencies, organizations, and businesses also exchanged numerous specific cooperation documents.
For the community of Vietnamese experts and intellectuals in Denmark, a pertinent question is: where can each individual’s experience contribute? The table below separates published content from suggestions for contribution for discussion and development.
| Field | Published Cooperation Basis | Experts Can Contribute |

A contribution can start with something manageable: a professional sharing session, a connection to the right person, or a clearly defined joint research proposal. AVIDE wishes to create more space for such ideas to be exchanged between experts and interested organizations.
The suggestions in the table are not job advertisements or commitments to project participation; AVIDE is not a signatory to the cited documents. Experts wishing to connect with the Association can view forms of participation and register as members. The Membership page also outlines a separate process for the role of Consulting Expert.
