The International Youth Festival (IYF-2026) was held in Yekaterinburg. For all seven days, RUDN University's stand operated there — a compact model of university life featuring a dorm room, a coworking space, a "kitchen," and multimedia installations. Guests from various countries didn't just learn about Russia's most international university — they tasted a slice of student life firsthand.
What are students from African countries coming to study at RUDN University like? Why did they choose a Russian education, and what do they want to learn? How do they adapt to life in a new, unfamiliar country? What do the Russian language and culture mean to them? For the third Russia-Africa Summit, RUDN University has compiled a portrait of a typical African student and shared their experiences during their studies.
A themed train dedicated to the 65th anniversary of RUDN University has been launched in the Moscow Metro! For six months, the train will run along the Sokolnicheskaya Line.
