The fifth season of the Summer University project has ended.
The fifth season of the Summer University project, a key platform for global academic and cultural exchange, has ended. This year, more than 1,200 people from 44 countries took part in the project. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
He emphasized that the project is being carried out within the framework of the federal project “Russia in the World” and the national project “Youth and Children”.
"The Summer University has been successfully implemented since 2021. During this time, it has proven its effectiveness as a tool for scientific and educational diplomacy. This year alone, more than 1.2 thousand people from 44 countries took part in the project, and over 5 thousand in total. The Summer University provides foreign students with the opportunity to get acquainted with the achievements of Russian science and the advantages of studying in our country. The initiative meets the strategic goal of increasing the number of foreign students in domestic universities, set by Russian President Vladimir Putin," said the Deputy Prime Minister.
As the head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, noted, the project is being implemented with the participation of major companies such as Rosatom, Rusal and Uralmashzavod.
"As part of the Summer University, specialists from leading companies conduct master classes for students and consult with them on how to build a professional development trajectory. Each project participant has the opportunity to personally evaluate the modern educational programs of our universities: this year, seminars and lectures in five areas were available to them – humanitarian, engineering, economics, IT and social sciences," the minister said.
Three leading Russian universities – Kazan Federal University, Siberian Federal University and Ural Federal University – were responsible for the admission of foreign students. In addition, 13 partner universities from different regions of Russia joined the project, helping to implement various educational programs.
In the project work, multinational teams of students developed solutions for the real sector of the economy. A total of 152 projects were developed and defended.
The fifth season also included a rich cultural and educational program – visits to exhibitions and theaters, sports events, industrial tours and familiarization with the infrastructure of Russian universities.
