A delegation from Ghana visits RUDN University
During three weeks, RUDN University scientists shared their experience with nine representatives of the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly. Lectures, seminars and master classes were aimed at solving problems relevant to Ghana in the field of waste management. After completing advanced training courses, Ghanaian employees learned how to:
- organize a system of separate collection of solid municipal waste, including used electrical goods and electronic waste;
- organize a system for sorting municipal solid waste;
- safely bury solid municipal waste and eliminate a large number of unauthorized landfills.
The school for representatives of Ghana provided a lot of practical training. Students visited waste management plants, learned about the production of equipment for water and wastewater treatment, saw what happens to the housing plastic of electrical appliances, and got acquainted with modern equipment for recycling plastics. They also studied the process of recycling electronic waste: from the moment of receipt to the production of secondary raw materials.
At the end of the visit, representatives of the Municipal Assemblies of La-Date-Kotopon and Ledzokuku expressed interest in conducting courses for employees of their companies.
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.
