Dear List:
A friend of mine (Agricultural Economics) is looking for a Dean,
Associate Dean or Director of International Programs at a university in
the south who might be interested in visiting about an exchange program
or collaboration on research projects (agricultural economics). If you
have any suggestions, please let us know. Thank you!

Hi Trien,
You might consider sending a note to Chau Van Thanh, the dean of the
Fulbright Economic Teaching Program (under the Economics University)
in HCMC. You could also contact Vu Thanh Tu Anh, Associate Dean in
charge of research. FETP would have to be considered the best
economics program in Vietnam and I know they are currently looking to
expand their research activities. You can check out more at the link

Dear Trien Nguyen,
I'm not sure if you are still looking for a contact in Ag Econ in the south, but if you are you might want to contact Ð?i h?c Nông Lâm Thành ph? H? Chí Minh (Univeristy of Agriculture and Forestry, Ho Chi Minh City); there website is: www.hcmuaf.edu.vn . There faculty of economics is the equivalent to an Agricultural Economics Faculty or Department in the U.S. and (I suppose) in Canada. If they are like the Hanoi Agriculture University, members of this faculty will have a different economics focus than those economists based at the traditional Economic Universities in Vietnam.
Best of luck,
Stephen J. Leisz
