RUDN signs a Memorandum of cooperation with the Association of Brazilian private universities
The parties expressed readiness to do academic exchange, promote joint scientific guidance of Master’s and postgraduate theses, organize exhibitions, conferences and seminars in mutually interesting areas and do joint research.
The document was sighed during the working visit of RUDN delegation headed by Vice-rector Larisa Efremova to Brazil. ABMES representatives visited RUDN in September.
Head of the Association José Janguiê Bezerra Diniz said: «The Association unites more than 80 private universities of Brazil, where 300,000 people (more than 80% of all students of the country) study. It should be noted that only 17% of young people aged 18 – 24 have access to higher education. The task of ABMES is to increase this percentage and solve other challenging issues in education».
