There they were received and welcomed by the interim Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, Professor Dr. Hoang Trong Hung, who also introduced them to the senior staff of the dental clinic. Through short presentations the respective faculties gained insights into each other’s operations, with Prof. Moritz taking on this role for Vienna.

Afterwards, the „Memorandum of Understanding“ between the two universities was officially signed, with two originals being presented to each university for safekeeping.
