The 2015 conference, Finding Pathways in Education, was a two-day public affairs forum addressing how students access appropriate courses and careers, and how Timor-Leste as a country is finding a way to readdress the skill gaps. The conference was held from 13-14 July 2015 in Dili, Timor-Leste.
  • Ten Years of a Global Partnership: Victoria University and University of Texas at El Paso e-book charts the partnership between two universities. From 2006, two universities on opposite sides of the world formed a partnership based on a shared mission to provide an accessible and excellent education experience for students of the 21st century. This e-book tells the stories of the people, programs, collaborations, and knowledge building activities conducted as part of the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and Victoria University (VU) partnership and is being published in 2016 to help celebrate the VU centenary year.
