The second in-person session of the "Managing International Activities in the Academic Environment" program, part of the "Academic Reserve: International Track" project, concluded at the State University of Management. Participants explored the experience of managing international activities at universities and research organizations and exchanged best practices. One proposal was to extend the "Pushkin Card" program to international students studying in Russia.
The session brought together over a hundred specialists, heads of international departments, and experts from universities across the country at our university. Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of Russia, and Pavel Shevtsov, Deputy Head of Rossotrudnichestvo, participated in the opening. Participants discussed tools for increasing the effectiveness of academic missions, developing partnerships with friendly countries and networking programs, and engaging international students in youth events.
The practical part of the session included visits to leading international collaboration venues: the Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center (VIM) and the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University). At VIM, participants learned about cutting-edge developments in agricultural engineering that are shaping the development of modern agriculture and listened to a presentation by Dmitry Pavkin, a 2022 graduate of the Academic Reserve program, on the commercialization of scientific results and international grants. They also heard presentations from the Center's experts on key areas of international scientific and technical cooperation: joint solutions to environmental problems in agricultural production, the development of bioenergy technologies, and the preparation of innovative development programs for the Union State.
At RUDN University, Vice-Rector for International Affairs Marina Rekets presented the support system for international students, as well as the legal and organizational aspects of their studies in our country. Leading university experts presented an overview of comprehensive tools for attracting and supporting international students, and implementing joint projects with international partners. A presentation on legal support for international students and migration registration issues generated the most lively discussion. The program concluded in the conference hall of the RUDN University Faculty of Economics with a debriefing: participants shared their impressions and discussed the possibilities of applying the practices they had learned.
Following the two-day program, participants outlined promising models for organizing international activities and integrating best practices into strategic development projects.
The organizers particularly recognized the contributions of the session's partners: the Interobrazovanie Center for Education Development and International Activities, the Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center VIM, and the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. Thank you for your expert support and active participation!
