During the implementation process, UEH and the Nam Nha Trang Ward People's Committee welcome feedback from residents and interested organizations to refine the planning in alignment with local urban development needs, community interests, and the regional innovation ecosystem.

Residents and interested organizations may visit the Nam Nha Trang Ward People's Committee headquarters or the planning site in person to review documents, learn about project information, and provide feedback online via: Nam Nha Trang Ward People's Committee Information Portal.

In addition to expanding training and innovation infrastructure, UEH has recently intensified academic cooperation, business networking, and human resource development activities in Khanh Hoa Province. Notably, UEH participated in presentations and discussions at a scientific conference on the operational mechanisms of the National Center for Ocean Technology Research in Khanh Hoa, contributing interdisciplinary perspectives on operating models, innovation ecosystems, and human resource development to support the locality's marine economic strategy.

Continuing this series of activities, on May 16, 2026, UEH will coordinate with partners in Khanh Hoa to implement several training and business connection activities, including a cooperation signing ceremony for tourism human resource development with the Khanh Hoa Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Center and the Swiss EHT – ST4SD Project; organization of a Business Forum on the theme "Modern Management Based on Big Data, Digital Transformation, and Hands-on AI Application to Drive Business Development" ; and alumni community networking through the UEH Alumni Day Khanh Hoa program.

Concurrently, UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang is expected to continue serving as a knowledge connection hub through the International Scientific Conference "Resilience by Technology and Design" (RTD) under the theme FutureScape - Designing the Future, scheduled for July 19-20, 2026. The conference will bring together domestic and international experts, researchers, and policymakers to exchange ideas on technological solutions, design approaches, and sustainable development for the future of urban areas and communities.

These activities demonstrate that the development direction of UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang transcends mere expansion of training space, progressively shaping a multidisciplinary ecosystem connecting education, research, innovation, and academic dialogue across the South Central Coast region.
