RUDN University receives a platinum certificate in the FISU Healthy Campus project
“For three years in the FISU Healthy Campus project, RUDN University has made a breakthrough in promoting the values of physical culture and a healthy lifestyle among students. The number of sport events has increased. Student sports club ‘Friendship’ has united people who are engaged in various activities — from cheerleading to rowing. Many of them started their sports career at the university. These achievements are the result of the joint work of students and administration of RUDN University”, said Sergey Bazavluk, Vice-Rector for Work with RUDN University Students.
RUDN University joined Healthy Campus in 2019, as a pilot site becoming the first university in Russia and Eastern Europe to take part in the project. Now Healthy Campus unites already 65 universities in the world, including Russian — ITMO University (St.Petersburg), Plekhanov University (Moscow) and Siberian Federal University (Krasnoyarsk).

On a Sunday winter day at the exhibition named “Russia” RUDN University gathered students, partners, colleagues, and organized lectures under the title “We are different! We are equal! We are together!” The event took place in Pavilion 57 on the platform of the Russian Society “Znanie”. And on this day the hall was jam-packed.
The event was attended by more than 350 students from Russia, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia. The students organized an exhibition of the fraternity, introducing the guests to national dances, treating them to Algerian coffee, Arabic sweets and talked about the culture and history of the people of the country. The week ended with a futsal tournament.
On the eve of the New Year, we are summing up the past 365 days and set new goals for the next year. Whatever we do — study, work or do research — we intend to conquer even higher peaks.
