Maxim Demin, Rector of the IKBFU: |
| Dynamics are always important. Our advancement in the ranking among Russian universities is related to active work on establishing links in the BRICS space. Only recently we signed a memorandum with the Federal University of Rondopolis (Brazil) andagreed to cooperate with the University of Foreign Affairs of China. We are developing a partnership with BRICS countries — for example, a cooperation program with the Belarusian State Agricultural Academy was recently approved. We plan to further develop academic and scientific projects with universities of BRICS countries and partner states of the association. |
