QS Worldwide is the 2nd Annual Strategic Summit for the Advancement of University Excellence in all its Forms. It is held in Moscow for the first time. The QS Summit is hosted by the RUDN University – the most international university in Russia. The founder of the global QS university ranking Mr Nunzio Quacquarelli addressed the experts: “RUDN is the most international university in Russia – it is the most appropriate place to host the QS Worldwide. It is a fantastic example how to show leadership. It is is determined to change the educational market in international arena. That is all what QS Worldwide is about. The main goal is to foster international cooperation partnership, to build new relations in global High Educational system, to connect the best practices of different educational systems of the world, to link motivated people together to boost international mobility”.
The main issue discussed at the QS Worldwide is the role of rankings in the global Higher Education system. “Functions of rankings are much wider than traditional understanding of them. We influence career of young people and change their life”, - Prof James Stuart Pounder, the Chair of the QS Worldwide International Academic Advisory Committee said.
RUDN Rector Vladimir Filippov noted the trends of internationalization, relevant for leading universities. "We must clearly distinguish external and internal internationalization of the university in order to ensure active international academic, scientific, entrepreneurial activities of its academics. Each Master's line of study should have a dual-degree with the leading universities of the world. Internal internationalization of universities is of special importance," noted the Rector. The task is facilitated by English-taught programs - primarily, Master’s and LLL courses. Among the key areas of internationalization are also networking with leading universities and inviting internationally - oriented academics and researchers, as well as academic exchange.
Mandy Mok, CEO of QS Branding & Conferences by QS Asia (Singapore) underlined strengthening the positions of Russian Universities: “The most significant change in the international higher education in the last 10-15 years is the rise of Russian universities in world rankings. The perception of higher education in the world is changing and such events like QS summit help Russian universities to connect the world, and for the world — to connect Russia”.
