The training of qualified foreign specialists, educational strategies, collaborations, digital technologies, and much more were discussed at the 2nd International Educational Forum at RUDN University. The event brought together over 1,000 participants and 300 speakers from 40 countries, including representatives of government, research organizations, and businesses, as well as rectors of leading universities. This time, the focus was on collaboration with partners from the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Africa.

"RUDN University and other forum participants exchanged experiences on how to make education, culture, and science equally accessible to all. We shared our experiences in a wide range of areas: library operations, collaboration with key employers, and issues related to finance and demographics. We strived to make the forum a genuine platform for discussion and development of new solutions," said Yulia Ebzeeva, Vice-Rector for Educational Affairs at RUDN University.

Deputy Minister of Education and Science Andrey Omelchuk was among the forum's speakers. In his speech, he noted that the Russian education market is attractive and interesting for foreign students, and that domestic universities are seeing an increase in the number of students from other countries.

"Over the past five years, the number of international students has grown by 87,000, reaching nearly 415,000. Today, the Russian President has identified realizing the potential of every individual as a national development goal. Our focus is not only on ensuring access to education. We are actively modernizing our educational infrastructure and developing new approaches to training highly qualified personnel. To this end, our country has launched a number of significant initiatives, including a project to create a constellation of modern campuses. Thanks to the national project "Youth and Children," 40 such student campuses will be built by 2036. They will become a key element in a new way of life and a magnet for students from across the country and abroad," says Andrey Omelchuk.

Foreign students and the staff shortage

One of the forum's panels was devoted to the employment of international graduates. Elena Dmitrieva, Head of the RUDN University Graduate Internship and Employment Support Department, discussed the demand for international talent in the Russian labor market and the interest of RUDN University students and graduates in pursuing careers in Russia.

"An analysis of employment patterns for graduates in the 2023–2025 classes revealed that international graduates from the Agrarian and Technological Institute, the Institute of Ecology, and the Institute of Pharmacy and Biotechnology are the most sought-after by employers. The top five fields by number of employed in Russia include construction, international relations, economics, law, and management. Furthermore, the results of a survey conducted among current international students at the university are of interest. More than half of the final-year students surveyed would like to remain in Russia after graduation," said Elena Dmitrieva.

According to Elena Borisovna, 87% of those wishing to stay intend to work in their field of study, demonstrating the growing interest of foreign specialists in the Russian labor market. Graduates' majors include agricultural sciences, engineering, and social sciences and humanities.

In addition to discussing problems and solutions, the section participants shared their experiences helping international students find employment. Anastasia Shatilina, a representative of the Human Capital Development NGO, spoke about the Start in Moscow project. This talent attraction program from the Moscow Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development helps international students develop their resumes and portfolios, prepare for interviews, receive career and immigration consultations, and ultimately secure a job offer.

International collaborations and startup support

Another section of the forum was dedicated to the international education community; it was attended by representatives from all continents, including countries such as Iran, Sri Lanka, Jordan, Honduras, and Peru.

"The main theme of all the presentations was the desire to improve the effectiveness of higher education, the search for proven approaches to the use of artificial intelligence, and the opportunities offered by AI. Without exception, all the speakers emphasized the importance of international collaboration and cooperation. Almost all the universities represented here are internationally oriented and interested in interacting with Russian universities, and RUDN University in particular. We also appreciated that a representative of the Embassy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo was able to attend the forum, emphasizing the importance of promoting the Russian language abroad and the role of our university in this area," said Marina Rekets, Vice-Rector for International Affairs at RUDN University.

As the vice-rector noted, the section participants shared interesting practices, such as supporting student startups with support from businesses and the government.

"The president of a Jordanian university explained that they have a triple agreement between the student body, the university, and a partner company. A second example was shared by an expert from Sri Lanka. Their country has a state program to support student startups, and upon recommendation from universities, these startups receive funding from the state budget under the program. The approaches vary, but the goal is the same: to stimulate student activity, engage them in professional activities, and create businesses," said Marina Rekets.

Following the forum, RUDN University signed several cooperation agreements, including with Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (Iran), Razi University (Iran), and the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan. According to Safarzoda Nekruz Fayzi, Dean of the Academy's Faculty of Law, the university is interested in student exchanges, staff development, and the joint writing of textbooks and monographs.

"Furthermore, we want to work with RUDN University specialists to develop legal solutions to the issues facing our country," said Safarzoda Nekruz Fayzi.

Honesty as a Privilege: The Planet Strives for Victory over Bribery

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

December 9th marks International Anti-Corruption Day worldwide. The date was established by the UN General Assembly in 2003 and marks the beginning of the signing of the UN Anti-Corruption Convention, the key international instrument against bribery.

Against damage to the economy

The Convention was adopted at a conference in Mérida, Mexico, and entered into force two years later, in December 2005. Today, 190 states, including Russia, are parties to it. Signatory countries have committed to taking measures to prevent and combat corruption, strengthen legal institutions, and ensure transparency in the public sphere.

According to UN estimates, the annual global bribery volume reaches a trillion dollars, and the total economic losses from corruption amount to $2.6 trillion—more than 5% of global GDP. In developing countries, the damage from bribery exceeds the volume of international aid tenfold.

On this day, the UN and its partners conduct educational campaigns and publish materials on social networks under the hashtags

For a fair future

Each year, International Anti-Corruption Day is celebrated under a specific theme. These include "Corruption Pays," "You Can Stop Corruption," "Action Against Corruption Now" (ACT), and "Corruption: Your 'NO' Matters." In 2025, the campaign is dedicated to engaging young people in the fight against bribery: its slogan is "Uniting with Youth Against Corruption: Creating a Fair Future."

The UN emphasizes that fighting corruption is not only a task for states, but also a civic responsibility for everyone. After all, the sustainability of the entire social system depends on the transparency, honesty, and responsibility of individuals.

The State University of Management, in preparing specialists for state and municipal administration, business management systems, and non-profit organizations, places particular emphasis on developing in students an intolerance for corruption and an understanding of the importance of serving the public interest rather than personal gain.

Synergy in Action: The Interconnection between Project-Based Learning and Inclusive Education Discussed at the State University of Management

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

In early December, representatives of the interregional educational and methodological center "Project-Based Learning as a Technology for Practical Training" held an All-Russian roundtable discussion, "Project-Based Learning as a Critical Element of an Inclusive Higher Education System," at the State University of Management.

The roundtable brought together representatives of the RUMTS network, directors and specialists of inclusive university centers, teachers and methodologists, experts in inclusive education, and representatives of public organizations. It became an important part of not only the First Inclusive Youth Forum "Professional Tomorrow" but also the Second All-Russian Interuniversity Project Festival "Project Path: From Idea to Lessons Learned."

Elena Mitrofanova, Director of the Russian University of Management and Information Technologies (RUMC) at the State University of Management, opened the event with the following words: "Today we have gathered to discuss two fundamentally important areas of development in modern higher education: project-based learning and inclusivity. At first glance, these are separate areas, but their synergy opens up unique opportunities for transforming the educational environment. Project-based learning is not just a methodological tool, but a teaching philosophy that allows students to connect theory with practice, develop critical thinking, and develop teamwork skills. In turn, inclusivity is no longer just a matter of accessibility—it is becoming a key principle for building an educational environment where every participant, regardless of their health or social status, receives equal opportunities for self-realization. The combination of these themes is no coincidence. Project-based learning offers enormous potential for inclusive education: it creates conditions for individualized learning, allows for the adaptation of tasks to the specific needs of participants, and fosters a culture of mutual respect within the team." At the same time, an inclusive approach enriches project work by bringing in a diversity of views, experiences, and creative solutions.”

A wide range of topics were discussed during the roundtable. Mikhail Ovchinnikov from Chelyabinsk State University (CSU) and Larisa Semina from North Caucasus Federal University (NCFU) emphasized the importance of participating in inclusive projects for developing students' universal and professional competencies, as well as for the successful socialization of students with disabilities and special educational needs. Olga Glukhova shared her experience integrating inclusive themes into project-based learning for students at Cherepovets State University (CSU). Larisa Guterman and Victoria Dzyuba from Southern Federal University (SFedU) presented their experience of "Service Learning" as an element in developing pedagogical volunteer practices. Natalia Sheshukova from Vyatka State University (VYSU) discussed how to transition from a project to a real startup.

Several speakers shared their personal experiences implementing inclusive projects and trends in the implementation of socially significant projects. Inna Zhdanova, representing the Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU), spoke about producing socially significant projects, and Irina Romanova, senior lecturer and associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Psychology of Management at the State University of Management, presented examples of mini-projects on the employment of students with disabilities in the Moscow region. Elena Vinogorskaya, head of the Volunteer Headquarters of Russia's first Blind Hockey Team, "Fortuna," presented the social project "Global Game: Blind Hockey."

At the end of the roundtable, Elena Mitrofanova and Anastasia Lobacheva, Associate Professor of the Department of Human Resources at the State University of Management, presented digital tools that were first used in organizing the All-Russian Network Competition of Inclusive Student Projects "Professional Tomorrow 2025"-2025 to enhance participants' project literacy. The speakers noted that this year, we set ourselves the goal of emphasizing the championship as a project competition, so that everyone understands the elements and stages of a project and learns how to describe them effectively.

We thank all participants for their engagement, openness to dialogue and exchange of experiences.
