NSU and Heilongjiang University are expanding their scientific collaboration and plan to launch a new joint graduate program in 2026. Initially, the two universities have chosen chemistry as one of the priority areas for collaboration. The number of subject areas will increase, and the universities plan to enroll 100-150 graduate students annually.
As noted by Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU, this collaboration will be a logical continuation of the existing cooperation between the two universities, which has lasted for nearly 15 years within the framework of the China-Russia Institute. The creation of joint laboratories involving young scientists will not only enable the exchange of knowledge and experience but will also expand scientific interaction, creating new opportunities for research.
As part of this initiative, NSU will become the entry point for international graduate students interested in conducting research in Akademgorodok. The university will act as an integrator, attracting young researchers, concluding agreements with them, accommodating them on campus, and handling all organizational issues, including migration registration. NSU, in collaboration with research institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will then select a supervisor for each graduate student.
The main goal of cooperation between NSU and research institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences is to increase the number of talented foreign youth who are willing and have the necessary training to engage in scientific research, and who are also capable of preparing to defend a candidate's dissertation within the standard period of study in graduate school (3-4 years, depending on the area of study).
"NSU will be a gateway not only for Chinese graduate students who would like to defend their theses in Russia, but also for research institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences who would like to collaborate with Chinese universities and conduct joint research. Young scientists who complete our joint graduate program will become employees of these future joint research laboratories," emphasized Evgeny Sagaydak.
