“Currently, 128 citizens of the Republic of Armenia are studying at RUDN. In the next academic year, we expect 30 more freshmen from this country to enter. The quota of the Government of the Russian Federation for the training of foreign citizens from Armenia in Russia in 2023 is 250 people,” said Anna Dvoryadkina, Head of the CIS and Baltic States Department.
RUDN University in Armenia was represented by:
- Iva Punavia, Leading Specialist, Asia Division;
- Suren Zakaryan, Chief Specialist of the Alumni Relations Department.
120 educational institutions from 7 countries participated in the exhibition. Russia was represented by 11 leading universities. More than 13,000 people attended the exhibition, which was organized with the support of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Armenia and the Russian House in Yerevan.
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.
RUDN University delegation, led by the university's president Vladimir Filippov, paid an important official visit to China. The central events of the business visit were signing of a memorandum on the establishment of an International Scientific Center for Mathematics within the framework of the SCO University and awarding the title of Honorary Professor of Xi'an Jiaotong University to Vladimir Filippov. RUDN University also presented its educational potential at a world-class University Forum and a specialized exhibition.
From April 16 to 19, Casablanca hosted one of the largest international education exhibitions, where over 200 educational institutions from 40 countries presented their academic opportunities to young people from Morocco and other African countries.
