RUDN has entered the Association of universities of the Russian Far East and Siberia and North-Eastern regions of China
17-18 June, RUDN delegation took part in the II Forum of Rectors of universities of the Russian Far East and Siberia and North-Eastern regions of China.
Larisa Efremova, RUDN Vice-rector for international activity in her welcoming speech talked about the tendencies and prospects of Russian-Chinese interaction in the field of education in Big Eurasia.
RUDN delegation members also held negotiations with representatives of the Association universities and SCO universities and signed a cooperation agreement with the North-Eastern Agricultural university.
At the congress of the Association RUDN was unanimously affiliated.
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.
