The project KNOTS (Fostering multi-lateral knowledge networks of trans-disciplinary studies to tackle global challenges) was established in October 2016 with the help of a grant by the European Commission's Erasmus+ programme. Project KNOTS links partners from five countries to address new challenges in a rapidly changing world. The project therefore aims at establishing vibrant and dynamic knowledge networks of multi-lateral and tran-sdisciplinary studies. KNOTS will evolve around the topics of social inequality, climate change and migration

As one of the consortium members, currently Ho Chi Minh City Open University has contributed to the dissemination/exploitation mission of the project. It opens positions to select the qualified students for the summer school and field trip hosted by Chiang Mai University, funded by ERASMUS+.

 At the events, the students will have a chance to appreciate the relevance of transdisciplinary approaches and close collaboration between the higher education sector and non-academic actors then apply this methodology into their research and lectures.
