The Digi:Đổi Consortium project is sponsored by the British Council's Global Partnering Program (GGP), marking 30 years of collaboration and development by the British Council in Vietnam. Digi:Đổi ("Đổi" is a Vietnamese term meaning "change") aims to create a forward-looking digital transformation hub for future trends, focusing on prosperity, integration, and greenhouse gas reduction. The Digi:Đổi Consortium project focuses on collaborative factors, providing opportunities for cooperation, training, advocacy, and establishing a wide-ranging network to contribute to building a digital transformation system in higher education across Vietnam and the United Kingdom.

This is our first introductory message in this project about the Call for Research in both languages: Vietnamese and English, revolving around key themes of digital learning or digital transformation from the perspective of leaders, professional service providers, and academic experts. We also highly encourage articles collaborated with students. Here are some points that might be helpful for you when participating in collaborative writing with us:
