Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) has strengthened its collaboration with VIVES University of Applied Sciences, Belgium, through the signing of an Erasmus+ KA171 Inter-Institutional Agreement (IIA) on 14 September 2026.

The IIA was signed by UTHM Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ts. Dr. Mas Fawzi bin Mohd Ali, and President of VIVES, Mrs Kathy Dewitte, witnessed by UTHM Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and International), Professor Dr. Afandi bin Ahmad, and VIVES Head of Global Engagement Office, Ms Tine Ternest.

On the same occasion, both institutions also formally signed and exchanged the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking another milestone in the growing partnership between UTHM and VIVES.

The signing follows the approval of an Erasmus+ KA171 grant, which will support mobility opportunities between the two institutions over the next three years.

The collaboration, which began at the EAIE Conference 2025, has since progressed through student mobility and academic engagement. In March 2026, UTHM welcomed its first VIVES student, Robbe Ryckeboer, for a semester exchange and research internship.

The UTHM delegation to VIVES was accompanied by Professor Dr. Muhammad Ramlee bin Kamarudin, Director of the International Office, and Professor Dr. Erween Abd Rahim, Chief Executive Officer of the UTHM Tanjung Laboh Management Office.

The collaboration was coordinated by Ms Yeoh Li Cheng, Department of International Mobility and Student Experience, International Office, UTHM, and Mr Evert Cottyn, Coordinator for Internationalisation (Technology), VIVES.

With the Erasmus+ KA171 grant now in place, UTHM and VIVES look forward to expanding mobility opportunities and exploring further areas of academic and institutional collaboration in the years ahead. 🌍🎓
