From 21-22 August, the Department of Education Policy and Leadership and The Joseph Lau Luen Hung Charitable Trust Asia Pacific Centre for Leadership and Change were honoured to co-host Dr Dong Nguyen, an Associate Professor in Educational Leadership and Change at Durham University, UK. He has around 15 years of international professional experience across many education systems.

During his visit, Dr Nguyen delivered two seminars for EdUHK staff and students. The first session moderated with Prof Sedat Gumus, titled "What can leaders do to retain teaching talents in their schools?", shared some evidence-informed insights into why and how to maximise teacher feelings of being professionally autonomous, developmental and listened; and the second session moderated by Dr Soobin Choi, themed "How to publish in International Journals: Tips for doctoral students and junior researchers", gave some tips and strategies for young researchers when they publish a paper. Dr Nguyen also provided individual consultations to several PhD students and post-doctoral researchers.

Highlights during the Seminar

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr Nguyen for his invaluable contribution during the visit. We look forward to future collaborations.
