25 – 28 July, RUDN Rector Vladimir Filippov and Director of RUDN Department of international scientific and academic cooperation Ruslan Grebnev take part in «Dialogue Russia – Korean Republic» forum of Russian and Korean civil societies in Seoul.
27 July, RUDN Rector delivers a report «Maturing period in Russia and Korea – the institution of family, demographic and housing challenges» in the National Assembly of Korean Republic at the III workshop of youth policy specialists.
During the visit it is planned to sign a cooperation agreement with HUFS and define cooperation prospects in joint research in engineering, IT and physics.
“Dialogue Russia – Korean Republic” forum was first held in 2010 and was dated to the 20th anniversary of establishing relations between the two countries. Since then it has become an expert site for joint solution of civil problems.
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.
