Participation in the Scientific and Practical Conference «Principles of Organization of International Activities in Russian Universities, Promoting International Competitiveness»
Peoples Friendship University of Russia participated in the Scientific and Practical Conference "Principles of Organization of International Activities in Russian Universities, Promoting International Competitiveness", organized by the Association of Leading Universities on the basis of MGIMO. The plenary report on models of multilateral network cooperation exemplified by the network universities of the CIS, SCO and BRICS was made by the RUDN Vice-Rector for International Academic Mobility, Efremova L.I.
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.
