Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, spoke at the 3rd Forum of the scientific and educational consortium "Eurasian Network University" (ENU), which took place in the Kyrgyz city of Osh.

The large-scale ESU forum, whose secretariat has been located at the State University of Management since its inception, was held at Osh State University (OshSU) and the B. Sydykov Kyrgyz-Uzbek International University, bringing together heads of ministries and agencies, rectors of leading universities, representatives of businesses, international organizations, and the expert community from the Eurasian Economic Union.

Osh State University Rector Kudaiberdi Kojobekov opened the event, emphasizing the importance of the forum as an effective mechanism for integrating education, science, and business in the Eurasian region. Nurlan Omurov, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Kyrgyz Republic; Talant Arstankulov, Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic in Osh Oblast; and Dmitry Avram, Deputy Head of the Rossotrudnichestvo Representative Office in the Kyrgyz Republic and Director of the Russian House in Osh, also addressed the participants with welcoming remarks.

Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky, State Secretary of the Union State of Russia and Belarus and Professor at the State University of Management Sergey Glazyev, Director of the Department of Macroeconomic Policy of the Eurasian Economic Commission Alexey Vedev, and Director of the Department of Multilateral Humanitarian Cooperation and Cultural Relations of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Alexander Alimov joined the event via video link.

Following the welcoming remarks, a plenary session was held, moderated by Dmitry Bryukhanov, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management and Head of the ESU Secretariat. Presentations were made by representatives of the Russian State Duma and the Ministry of Education and Science, sectoral ministries and agencies from Russia and the Kyrgyz Republic, and the rectors of ESU member universities.

In the plenary session, reports were presented by:

Vladimir Sipyagin, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education; Aleksey Poyda, First Secretary of the Russian Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic, representative of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science; Dmitry Repnikov, Chairman of the Expert Council for International Cooperation under the State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education; Mikhail Shvetsov, Rector of Mari State University, and Mikhail Petropavlovsky, Advisor to the Rector; Gulnaz Supayeva, Rector of M. Ryskulbekov Kyrgyz University of Economics; Igor Alekseev, Rector of V. N. Tatishchev Astrakhan State University.

At the plenary session, Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of our university, presented the results of our collaboration with partners in the Eurasian Economic Union and the University of Management's experience in implementing continuing professional education programs in the EAEU.

Thus, in 2022, the State University of Management was one of the initiators of the Eurasian Network University (ENU) research and education consortium, which has already united 38 universities from seven Eurasian countries. One of the priority areas of our university's cooperation with EAEU universities within the ENU consortium is the development and implementation of advanced training and continuing professional education (CPE) programs aimed at training qualified personnel from government agencies, enterprises, and businesses in EAEU countries. In 2024 alone, GUU developed and offered 17 such programs, with 324 quotas allocated by Rossotrudnichestvo. This year, more than 190 people have already joined the educational sessions.

"Reviews show a particularly high interest in such educational programs in the EAEU countries, largely due to the absence of a language barrier. I am confident that the implementation of such projects will help develop a new generation of managers in the EAEU region, operating based on specifically developed competencies and practical skills in building international economic cooperation," our rector concluded.

One of the forum's key outcomes was the initiative to establish the EAEU Center for Innovative Technologies, an association of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs, aimed at supporting applied research, implementing technology projects, and developing cooperation between universities and businesses. The organizers emphasized that the results of the main Eurasian educational dialogue will form the basis for a new roadmap for integration in education and science through 2030.

The consortium's events concluded with a tour of the Sulaiman-Too historical and archaeological complex and a series of working meetings for the participants.

Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University welcomed a representative delegation from China. A group of leaders from Central China Normal University (CCNU), led by Professor Xia Lixin, Chairman of the University Council and Secretary of the Party Committee, paid an official visit to the university. This visit was a significant event aimed at translating the existing partnership, enshrined in a 2023 agreement, into practical joint projects.

The meeting began with a welcome from Dmitry Arsenyev, SPbPU Vice-Rector for International Affairs, who emphasized the exceptional importance of Chinese cooperation for the Polytechnic University.

The People's Republic of China is our number one strategic partner. We have the largest number of partner universities and students from China, with over 2,200 currently enrolled. We are very interested in expanding our contacts with your university, as you have, among other things, a strong pedagogical and humanities program, which we also have, but which is much more developed at your university," noted Dmitry Arsenyev.

The key topic of the talks was the discussion of specific cooperation mechanisms. During the discussion, the parties agreed that the modern approach to AI is not about creating an "artificial brain," but rather about developing "intelligent assistants" that can accelerate the acquisition and transfer of knowledge. Professor Xia Lixin added that it is critically important to guide the development and application of artificial intelligence in a "good, correct direction."

The topic of digitalization of education generated particular enthusiasm among both sides. SPbPU presented its flagship platform, "Open Polytechnic," Russia's largest open education portal. Their Chinese colleagues, in turn, shared 20 years of experience in this area and their own proprietary system, "XiaoYa." Both universities expressed their intention to exchange courses and create joint educational content.

Traditional forms of academic interaction were also addressed. The parties discussed the possibility of organizing joint educational programs, as well as the participation of Chinese students in international summer and winter polytechnic schools. The SPbPU Vice-Rector noted that the university has a unique asset for Russia—an official representative office in Shanghai, opened in 2016, which could become an important hub for supporting joint initiatives.

Professor Xia Lixin, representing his university, detailed the large-scale transformation TUCC is undergoing. As a Double First Class university (a program designed to create world-class universities and academic disciplines), the university is constructing a new campus covering approximately 247 hectares, which will focus on developing applied and interdisciplinary fields.

The Chinese government has allocated significant resources for this new campus. This isn't just about expanding space, but about promoting new multi-professional areas. Our key development areas are teacher education, artificial intelligence, ecology, internationalization, and future technologies," he noted.

Following the meeting, it was decided to select one or more "pilot" areas, such as digital platforms or environmental engineering, and create working groups to quickly launch real programs and projects.

After completing the official part of the event, the delegation embarked on a campus tour, visiting the Higher School of Cyber-Physical Systems Management and the SPbPU Open Education Center to appreciate the infrastructure and innovative developments of one of Russia's leading technical universities. This visit undoubtedly gave new impetus to the strategic partnership between the two universities, opening up new horizons of opportunity for students and researchers from Russia and China.
