Presentations were also given on the two thematic topics: Intelligent lighting solutions for green lighting, and open-source platform to enhance learning in smart lighting education. Discussions were held on the challenges of energy efficient lighting practices, sustainability of the project outputs, and continuation of university-industry partnership.

The project's outcomes were also presented during the seminar through student projects demonstrations, such as smart lighting for parks, gesture-controlled lighting and lighting designs for structures. Furthermore, through collaboration among academia, industry and society, the project contributed to raising awareness of sustainable development and energy efficiency in the community.

The Management Team meeting was held in the afternoon of 25/10/2013, concluding on the project's outcomes. During the meeting, the institutions discussed potential collaboration directions that could take place after the project's completion. These directions encompassed student and faculty exchanges as well as scientific research collaboration.

The DESL project has brought about development in curriculum, human resources and laboratory for the Vietnamese university partners. These are three foundational elements for sustainable growth. Dr. Ha Thuc Vien, the rector of VGU, shared, “Life is short; let's do things that leave a legacy for future generations, and the DESL project is one such thing”. Dr. Doan Xuan Toan from TDMU also expressed that DESL was no longer merely a project but had become a part of his teaching life.
