Hellen De La Vega met Charles Darwin University Vice Chancellor and President Professor Scott Bowman on 28 June 2022 at the Charles Darwin University (CDU). He was accompanied by Vice President for Global and External Relations Jenny Roberts and CDU Global Director Joanne Crystal.

Ambassador De La Vega pointed out that education cooperation is part of the Philippines - Australia Plan of Action and that education will jumpstart enhanced Philippine connectivity with the Northern Territory. With CDU’s advanced capabilities in manufacturing and 3D printing, it can help Philippine research translate into commercial applications.
