On December 11, representatives of the State University of Management spoke at the 13th meeting of the Coordinating Council of the scientific and educational consortium "Eurasian Network University" (ENU), which was held in a mixed format at the National Research University "MPEI".
The event brought together heads of leading universities and experts from countries of the Eurasian Economic Union to review the year's results and identify prospects for further cooperation.
Key figures in Eurasian integration participated in the council's work, including Alexey Vedev, Director of the Macroeconomic Policy Department of the Eurasian Economic Commission, and his deputy, Kanybek Azhekbarov. Also present in person were Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management; Mikhail Shvetsov, Rector of the Mari State University; Igor Alekseyev, Rector of the V.N. Tatishchev Astrakhan State University; and other representatives of the academic community.
The meeting was opened by Nikolai Rogalev, Chairman of the ESU Coordinating Council and Rector of the National Research University "MPEI," who noted the impressive growth momentum of the alliance: seven new universities joined the alliance this year, bringing the total number of members to 41.
The central element of the agenda was a detailed report by the head of the ESU Secretariat, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, Dmitry Bryukhanov, on the results of the consortium's activities in 2025.
"This year has been eventful. Three meetings of the Coordinating Council and five working group meetings were held, six joint continuing professional education programs were developed and launched, with 196 students from EAEU countries already enrolled. Research and development activities have been actively developed, and two new specialized centers were established: the Center for Digital Energy and Engineering at MPEI and the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at MSTU STANKIN. The second ESU Olympiad for applicants to master's programs was a success, with 40 winners and runners-up, including from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, and Armenia," said Dmitry Yuryevich.
The SUMU Vice-Rector noted that educational initiatives were an important component: the Summer School at the M. Ryskulbekov Kyrgyz University of Economics, the Winter School on Marketing at the State University of Management, and an internship for faculty with in-person modules at the Eurasian Economic Commission and the O.E. Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL).
Council members discussed the results of the 3rd ESU Forum in Osh, which brought together 264 participants, a series of three scientific and educational exhibitions in Yekaterinburg, Bishkek, and Osh, and three international scientific and practical conferences.
"A significant event in 2025 was the ESU consortium's victory in the prestigious "Symbols of Eurasian Integration" competition, organized by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives. The Eurasian Network University was awarded first place in the "Human Capital" category, recognizing its contribution to training personnel for the Eurasian space," Dmitry Bryukhanov concluded his report.
The agenda continued with presentations by Irina Shkolyar, Director of International Cooperation at the Russian Foreign Trade Academy, on the results of the "Art of Negotiation" Negotiation Marathon, and Arapbaev Nurmamatovich, Vice-Rector for Research at Osh State University, who presented a report on the establishment of the "Center for Innovative Technologies of the Eurasian Economic Union" at Osh State University. Following the discussion, the participants unanimously approved the Regulations on the new structural unit of the Eurasian Economic Union.
An important organizational outcome of the meeting was the election of the Chairman of the Coordination Council for 2026. At the suggestion of several consortium member universities, Kudaiberdi Kojobekov, Rector of Osh State University, was elected to this position.
"For three years in a row, the Coordinating Council was chaired by university rectors from Russia, so it's the right step to entrust its leadership to our comrade and colleague from another country. I'm confident he will be up to the task. In conclusion, I'd like to express my gratitude to the Ministry of Education and Science, Rossotrudnichestvo, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and all the organizations that supported the ESU this year," concluded Vladimir Stroyev.
As a reminder, in 2022, the State University of Management was one of the initiators of the creation of the scientific and educational consortium "Eurasian Network University," and since then, the secretariat of the association has been permanently located at the State University of Management.
