Remote sensing of the Earth, forestry and environmental engineering… RUDN University develops cooperation with the University of Sri Lanka
RUDN University delegation held working meetings to develop a strategy for cooperation between universities. The main focus is joint educational programs of environmental engineering in the field of carbon neutrality and greenhouse gas management.
Experts trained undergraduate students of the Department of Forestry and Ecology to use the prospects of using remote sensing of the Earth and GIS technologies, to determine the difference between the characteristics of forests in the middle belt and tropical rainforests in terms of vegetation indices. These classes were held under the program of the summer school “GIS Technologies in Ecology” on the basis of RUDN specialized class at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura.
“Despite the fact that our universities started cooperation not so long ago, interesting joint projects in the scientific and technical field have already been implemented, and the summer school is an excellent continuation of cooperation in the field of education, which gave our students an opportunity to learn from Russian colleagues,” said Hemanty Ranasinghe, Professor at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura.
June 14, RUDN University held an Open Ecology Olympiad. It was attended by more than 20 students from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. The winners of the Olympiad will be able to study at RUDN for free.

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.
