The main goal of the RUDN University and UNISDR Office for Northeast Asia and Global Education and Training Institute for Disaster Risk Reduction at Incheon (UNISDR ONEA-GETI) cooperation is to obtain knowledge about disaster risk reduction and international experience in this area for creating training courses for basic and additional professional education in RUDN University.
UNISDR ONEA-GETI organized an international training on the implementation of The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. The training was aimed at studying the main trends and priorities in this area. The representatives of the RUDN University took part in the training: Professor Vadim Plyshchikov, Director of the Agrarian and Technological Institute (ATI), Assistant Professor Vladimir Avdotin, Deputy Director of the Department of Technospheric Securityt Kristina Ivashchenko. Each participant of the training received the certificate of the Instructor of the Sendai Framework Program. They also presented a report on the main educational and scientific directions of the RUDN University and presented the idea of creating a «knowledge base» on disaster risks in the environment, agriculture, social, political and economic spheres for students and graduates of the RUDN . The RUDN University initiative on the implementation of knowledge for 30,000 students from 154 countries of the world has generated support from representatives of UNISDR ONEA-GETI.
RUDN University professors also visited SUNY Korea, that was established in March 2012 as the first American university founded in Korea’s only smart city, Songdo. The University offers educational programs in computer science, engineering, security technologies and business management. SUNY Korea annually trains 29,000 students from all over the world, including from Russia. Professors of RUDN University ATI met with Vice-President of the University, Professor James Larson and Head of the Department of Technology and Public Relations, Anthony Pennings. The meeting participants discussed possible areas of cooperation, considered the possibility of preparing joint scientific projects and publications and agreed to sign a Memorandum and a working program of cooperation between the RUDN University and SUNY Korea in 2017.
On January 16-18, 2019 in Dublin, the 9th meeting of the COST IRACON Steering Committee was held, as well as the 9th meeting of the participants of the project working groups, organized within the framework of the Integrated Wireless Networks Generations 5G and Above program.
February 5, RUDN hosted a seminar "Modern Advances in Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Research in the Diagnosis of Liver Diseases", which was attended by practicing hepatologists, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, and ultrasound diagnostics doctors. Lorenzo Manneli, a professor at Cambridge University (UK) and New York University (USA), shared his experience with colleagues. The fatty pathology of the liver became the first among liver pathologies - 78% of cases of abnormal liver function are associated with steatosis. Standard ultrasound methods can give an accurate picture only with 25-30% changes in the liver. Leading experts on hepatology from the UK and Russia suggested that ultrasound elastogenesis and steatometry of the liver and MRI be introduced more widely into medical practice.
On November 15, at the Faculty of Philology of the RUDN University, with the support of the Institute of Modern Languages, Intercultural Communication and Migration, a public lecture was delivered by Douglas Ponton, Professor, Department of Analysis of Political, Social and Institutional Processes, University of Catania (Italy), Member of the Editorial Board of the Russian Journal of Linguistics .
