A delegation from Aix-Marseille University from France visits RUDN University
The French delegation included Vice President of the Administrative Board of the University, Vice President for research, Vice President for education, as well as the Director of the Cabinet of the President. The delegates met with RUDN University Rector Vladimir Filippov and deans and directors of the main educational divisions of RUDN University - Faculty of Science, Engineering Academy, Medical Institute, Scientific and Educational Center for Collective Use, and Institute of Modern Languages, Intercultural Communication and Migration.
The parties discussed the prospects for creating joint educational programs of double diplomas and included training, also within the framework of the Russian-French University. The French delegation also expressed interest in organizing and conducting joint summer and winter schools and the participation of research and teaching staff in joint scientific conferences on humanitarian and natural sciences.
The number of foreign ambassadors of Russian education and science has reached 47. In October 2026, 12 more teachers, scientists, and public figures received this honorary status - from Brazil, Israel, Kazakhstan, Cameroon, China, Lebanon, Moldova, Mongolia, Nigeria, Peru, Syria, and the Central African Republic. Five of them studied at Peoples' Friendship University of Russia.
Last week, RUDN University welcomed a delegation led by Gao Song, President of Peking University. The visit marked his first international trip since assuming office as the rector of the university, which ranks 13th globally.
In RUDN’s main building, Russian speech has mixed with Arabic and strict business suits with national attire. The reason for this is the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The university hosted a large-scale event “The Century of Friendship, Cultural and Scientific Exchange between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Russian Federation”, which brought together diplomats, scientists, rectors of leading universities, and students.
