Global Universities is an association that brings together leading Russian universities that ensure that Russian research and education maintains a stable presence in the global market. The Association’s member universities have developed a wide range of tools to attract young foreigners and involve them in science. Discussing this issue will be useful for Russian universities that are looking for tools to develop international scientific projects. Even though Russian universities and scientists have seen their presence wane in projects being implemented by countries that have unfriendly relations with Russia, new opportunities are arising for the development of science with new international partners. There has been an uptick in interest in Russian research among young foreigners. For example, the intellectual competition ‘International Olympiad of the Association for Master’s and Postgraduate Students’ annually attracts roughly 80,000 young people from 192 countries, almost a third of whom plan to participate in research projects at Russian universities as part of their postgraduate programmes. Young people around the world have shown the greatest interest in business, management, engineering, technology, computer science, data science, biology, biotechnology, clinical medicine, and public health. The greatest demand has been seen for: financial management, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, computer science, information systems, biochemistry, molecular biology, the design and construction of civil facilities, electrical engineering, electronics, and general mechanical engineering. The discussion will focus on the following issues: what factors influence the decision of young foreign scientists to choose Russia as a place for their scientific research? What are the most effective tools for attracting young foreigners to conduct research? How can we improve the attractiveness of Russian scientific institutions and universities for young foreign scientists? How can we overcome the language barrier and ensure communication with foreign students and researchers in Russian research projects? What forms of support for young foreigners are most effective for them to successfully adapt to the Russian scientific environment?Roll up

In the modern scientific and educational world, there are four unique universities that were co-founded by the governments of two countries: Russia–Armenia, Russia–Belarus, Russia–Kyrgyzstan, and Russia–Tajikistan. Despite the different names of the universities, they are generally defined in Russia as “Slavic”. This format for establishing universities appeared after the collapse of the USSR and imposed certain requirements in terms of determining their mission, goals, and objectives, as well as the special aspects of managing and funding them. Each university has its own unique features, but there are also common goals. The panel discussion will address the experience of these universities and their history, as well as identify top priorities for their social and technological development until 2050. The discussion will pay particular attention to the role and place of young scientists in the development and modernization of “Slavic” universities, including the importance of the Young Scientists Council and the Student Research Society in improving the quality of education and involving talented young people in science and higher education for the benefit of their countries.Roll up

There has recently been intensive rapprochement between Russia and Iran in all areas of life, including scientific and technical cooperation. Russia and Iran regularly hold forums of university rectors. Scientific cooperation between Russian and Iranian universities is intensifying. Student exchanges are on the rise. Russia provided 300 scholarships to Iranian students in April 2023. In Iran, interest in studying the Russian language at schools and universities is growing rapidly. However, not enough consideration has been given to the prospects for Russian-Iranian scientific cooperation and the reasons for insufficient student exchanges. The new challenges that young scientists and students in Russia and Iran face are related to sanctions and the sovereign provision of laboratories with modern equipment. The departure of foreign suppliers of equipment and reagents from the Russian and Iranian markets, complications with global supply chains, and the refusal of other countries to meet their repair and service obligations require new solutions from both the government and scientists. Such issues as equipping scientific laboratories, educational workshops, colleges, and medical centres and ensuring their stable operation are becoming critical for both states, as well as for public associations and scientists. What factors are hindering the growth of student exchange between Russia and Iran? Which sectors are the most promising for scientific cooperation? What is the best way to increase interest in the Persian language and literature among Russian humanities students? How can the two countries strengthen scientific cooperation in producing modern technologies, which is currently a particularly important and significant field? What prospects exist for Russian and Iranian specialists to intensify their joint work in scientific laboratories?Roll up

In order for Russia to develop its scientific and technological potential, people must form their own view and reference point in matters concerning national identity and goal setting, and determine Russia’s place and role in the modern world order, which is increasingly tending towards polycentricity. The Strategy for Russia’s Scientific and Technological Development enshrines the role of scientific diplomacy as a key tool for developing international scientific cooperation and protecting the identity of the Russian scientific sector. The session will bring together leading young scientists from Russia and other countries in order to jointly figure out new approaches to the science of international relations, while overcoming Eurocentrism in the theory of international relations, and also outline specific aspects of joint research in this regard. Different national approaches to the theory of international relations and the practice of teaching it will be compared as part of the discussion, which will ultimately provide a more holistic view of the study of world politics, taking into account the civilizational features of various countries and regions, and bring us closer to establishing a multipolar world order. What does the concept of a multipolar world order mean for today’s young scientists? How is this concept perceived in different countries? What are some of the main aspects of how non-Western countries perceive the scientific understanding of international relations? What kind of threats does neocolonialism pose in terms of its worldview and how can scientists respond to them? How is the modern theory of international relations changing as a multipolar world order emerges? What are the national approaches to the theory of international relations today? What are some of their common and unique features?Roll up

Training skilled professionals has been and remains a traditional focus of Russian-African relations. At present, almost 35,000 students from Africa study at Russian universities, and this number is growing each year. The quota for Africans to study at the expense of Russia’s federal budget has increased two and a half times over the last three years and will amount to more than 4,700 people for the next academic year. Today, it is crucial to form new stable ties between universities and organizations in Russia and African countries and expand the areas in which personnel are trained for the sustainable development of African countries and priority sectors of their economy. Universities in the Russian-African Network University Consortium are not only intensifying educational cooperation with their African partners, but are also implementing major infrastructure projects involving industrial partners in various areas of sustainable development, for example, natural resource management, environmental protection, new natural resource management and protection systems, clean energy, the preservation of cultural heritage, and much more.
