Belarus-Russia: New impetus for cooperation in education

Belarus and Russia reach new quality level of cooperation in education. In the spotlight is development of Network hi-tech university of the union state whose subordinate members are Kazan Federal University (KFU) and Belarusian state technic university (BSTU). It is planned to allow more Belarusian and Russian leading universities enter the project in the near future.

Currently, the parties develop joint education programs and strengthen student and academic exchange programs. The "Visiting Professor" project is planned, with leading faculty from Belarus and Russia completing internships and reading lectures.

Additional impetus for development was given on July 1 in Mogilev at a joint meeting of the boards of the Ministry of Education of Belarus and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia. Specific agreements on deepening cooperation in education and science were formalized.

Today, a substantive meeting between Belarusian Education Minister Andrei Ivanets and KFU Rector Lenar Safin took place at the Ministry of Education. The parties discussed prospects for networked student training, the exchange of best practices, and the strengthening of scientific and pedagogical cooperation.

"We expect to expand the number of universities in the Union State Network University of High Technologies. Key participants have already been identified. For example, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, with which agreements have already been signed and it will start joint educational programs at BSU, BNTU, and BSUIR next academic year," Andrei Ivanets emphasized.

Colleagues from Kazan held talks with BSU and BSTU yesterday. Today they will visit the Negorelsky educational and experimental forestry enterprise of the Technological University to study the Belarusian way to practical training for students.

Another important stage is in October. Dialogue and the implementation of specific initiatives will continue at the Forum of Engineering and Technology Universities of the Union State. Minsk will be hosting the presentation of new projects and the signing of cooperation roadmaps.
