Introduction
Role of capacity development in technology transfer
Technology transfer
 It is the by process by which technology is being transferred from places and in groups of
its origination to wider distribution among more people and places.
 Along various axes that are in universities, from universities to businesses it occurs.
 Through transfer or indigenous development technology can be acquired.
 In the institutional and human resources both require knowledge and skills.
 However, technology transfer needs to know how the skills to acquire adopt and utilize
the technology effectively.
Capacity development
 It is the ability of people or organization to manage their affairs and reach objectives
successfully.
 For sustainable development it is been recognized that capacity devolvement is an
integral part of global partnership
 The role of capacity development in technology transfer is essential as through capacity
development the technology can be transferred to places and groups.
 And from capacity development the skills can be developed to make use of technology
sustainability.
Vietnam Japan University(VJU)
 Based on Japanese technologies and experiences this university provides practical
education
 This university provide its student to get acquainted with the real world education
environment
 The better opportunities for students are been provided by thus university through its
programs
Six programs of VJU
 Master of Public Policy
 Master of Business Administration
 Master of Infrastructure Engineering
 Master of Nanotechnology

 Master of environmental technique
 Master of regional studies
MPP: Institutional change
 The solid foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge will be given
 Modern methodologies
 Advances tools will be used
 Modern facilities
 In context of multi culturally modern knowledge and skills will be used
This will help the children to build their capacity as their skills, knowledge will be
improved through this change that is being brought by this university in the institution.
With this change they will get to know about advanced technologies that is being used in this
program which is sustainable for the environment.
MBA: Commercialization
 Collaboration of MBA Students with graduate students
 The growth and skills of students will enhance
 A new course will be provided to the students
 From university it will transform in to business
This new change that is been brought by this university in MBA will help the children towards
the growth of their skills and knowledge It is been expected through this they will be able to
launch their own business start-ups
With this they will get to learn about the latest technologies use and the knowledge will
also be enhanced About computers and the other information technology tools they will get to
gain knowledge
MIE: Change in lab
 With modern technology's construction of transport infrastructure such as bridges and
highways
 Towards a sustainable development planning managing and maintaining projects
 In labs the new advanced material will be used.

In the lab the advanced and modern technology will be used the new things will be learned by
the students form this. The sustainable material such as bamboos will be sued in the construction
filed to teach the students about sustainable practices.
MNT:Modern machines
 Advanced and latest nano-devices will be given
 The problem solving abilities will be developed
 Learn about fabrication process
 In this field of nano technology they will able to do conduct new research
Through the use of modern machines they will get more knowledge and skills which will
be useful in their growing period .The students capacity will developed and they will know about
sustainable practices such a development of technologies for sourcing, storing and coveting
sustainable energy that is fuel cell and hydrogen energy.
Master of environmental technique: Sustainable techniques
 The sustainable and green practices will be adopted
 With the principles of environmental treatment, technologies’ the children will be
equipped
The role of capacity development will help to gain insight knowledge about technology transfer.
on how the technology can be used effectively.
Master of regional studies: Opportunities for regional studies
 Innovative thinking will be developed
 Extra-curriculum activities will be held.
The technology transfer will be there in university due to capacity building in the students.
Conclusion
All these changes that is been brought about by VJU will be beneficial for the capacity
development of the children
They will develop the skills and knowledge on how to work on sustainable technologies . All
these changes that have been brought in the education program will be beneficial for the student
in their coming years.
