The educational exhibition "Russian Universities – The Best Choice," organized by the Rossotrudnichestvo office, was a successful success at the Russian Center for Science and Culture (RCSC) in Hanoi and a number of leading Vietnamese educational institutions. SPbPU was one of the participants in this large-scale event, which aimed to provide career guidance and present the opportunities offered by Russian higher education to Vietnamese applicants and partners. SPbPU was represented by Elena Selivanova, a leading specialist at the Graduate School of Cyber-Physical Systems Management, and Zhanna Trunkova, a leading advertising manager at the Center for International Recruitment and Communications.

The Polytechnic University delegation participated in a comprehensive program that included not only the traditional exhibition at the Russian Center for Science and Culture but also a series of field trips to the provinces. One of the first significant events was a meeting at the Hanoi University of Business and Technology (HUBT). Along with colleagues from other leading Russian universities, SPbPU representatives discussed prospects for inter-university cooperation with HUBT leadership, including Vice-Rector Tran Duc Minh and Dean of the Faculty of Russian Language Le Thanh Van. The meeting with students, who eagerly explored HUBT's educational programs, proved particularly productive. Following the presentations, the students asked questions about admission, studying, and life in Russia.

Strengthening partnerships in Ninh Binh Province was an important focus for the SPbPU delegation. University representatives, along with Vladimir Murashkin, Director of the Russian Centre for Science and Culture, met with the leadership of the provincial Department of Education and Personnel Training. During the meeting with Nguyen Tien Dung, Director of the Department, and Bui Van Khiet, Deputy Director, steps to develop cooperation were discussed, including expanding academic exchanges, introducing dual degree programs, and organizing joint career guidance.

Vladimir Murashkin, Director of the Russian Centre for Science and Culture, thanked his Vietnamese colleagues and confirmed the readiness of the Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in Vietnam to continue supporting Russian universities' initiatives to popularize and promote Russian education in Vietnam.

The Polytechnic University delegation then held a series of meetings with gifted students. The presentations took place at specialized boarding schools renowned for their strong preparation: Luong Van Thuy, Bien Hoa, and Le Hong Phong. At Le Hong Phong School, where Russian is studied in depth, the students enthusiastically responded to the Polytechnic University presentation. The students, many of whom dream of studying in Russia, received consultations from SPbPU representatives on training programs, entrance examinations, and opportunities to participate in summer schools. The Bien Hoa School also listened with equal interest to the Polytechnic University guests. Its director, Nguyen Thi Bic Thanh, expressed her willingness to sign memoranda of understanding with Russian universities to promote the Russian language and education.

The program culminated in a final event at the Russian Centre of Science and Culture, timed to coincide with World Science Day for Peace and Development, proclaimed by UNESCO. At the expert session "Russian-Vietnamese Scientific and Educational Cooperation for Vietnam's Breakthrough Development," Elena Selivanova presented a paper on the highly topical issue of "Practice-Oriented Education in Cyber-Physical Systems." The audience's attention was proof of the university's educational programs' alignment with global trends and the challenges of Vietnam's technological development in its new phase—the "Era of National Rise."

SPbPU's participation in the "Russian Universities – The Best Choice" exhibition once again confirmed its status as a flagship university in engineering education, training highly qualified personnel not only for Russia but also for other countries, including Vietnam, strengthening Russian-Vietnamese scientific and educational ties.
