Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education Dmitry Tikhonov and Head of the Department of International Educational Programs and Academic Mobility Olga Yemelyanova paid a working visit to the SPbPU Representative Office in Shanghai. The purpose of the trip was to expand international academic and scientific cooperation, promote international internship programs for professional development, and present the new project "SPbPU International Internship Center" to leaders in the Chinese educational market.
The Polytechnic University delegation held several meetings and negotiations with potential partners, including Ambright Education Group, the China-SCO University of Trade and Economics, the Shanghai University of Science and Technology, and the Harbin Institute of Technology.
The partners discussed current areas of cooperation, the situation in the Chinese education market, and presented the SPbPU International Internship Center project. The productive dialogue resulted in concrete agreements.
An agreement has been reached with the Shanghai University of Science and Technology to launch a joint international professional development program with an internship module in Technological Entrepreneurship. The agreement and terms of the cooperation are currently being finalized.
The parties agreed with the China-SCO University of Trade and Economics to begin developing an international professional development program for employees of Chinese industrial companies.
We are pleased that the idea of a continuing education program in the form of international internships, implemented with the support of the Priority 2030 program, has resonated with our partners. During the trip, we were able to discuss the launch of new tracks, as well as the potential format for internships for employees of foreign companies," commented SPbPU Vice-Rector Dmitry Tikhonov.
"With the support of the Priority 2030 program, we were able to implement the International Internship Center project, which aims to attract talented international researchers to SPbPU, thereby developing the university's international scientific and educational cooperation and promoting SPbPU as one of Russia's best scientific schools abroad. Our discussions with our Chinese colleagues confirmed that we are moving in the right direction—demand for such programs is constantly growing," added Olga Yemelyanova, Head of the International Educational Programs Department. "Through these meetings, we were able to develop specific projects that, I hope, will be implemented as early as 2026."
Collaboration with leading Chinese universities and companies, such as Ambright Education Group, is strategically important for SPbPU. It opens up new opportunities for academic exchange, joint research, and strengthening the position of Russian education on the international stage.
