The participants of the event spent a fruitful week in the Urals

The third international week "Building the Bridge between Continents" finished on April 6. The participants agreed to search for solutions to common problems, regardless of borders.

"The presentation of the University in English for foreign audiences is a common task for countries in which English is not native. We can find common ground with our foreign partners. It is likely that we face similar problems, that is why such events give chances to work together to find effective ways of addressing them," said Deputy Program Director of the Russian International Affairs Council Timur Makhmutov, speaking to the participants of the plenary meeting of the International Week.

Together with the program manager Ekaterina Chimis and representatives of the consulates, Timur Makhumutov took part in the plenary session. The Consul General of the People's Republic of China in Ekaterinburg Geng Liping and the Consul General of Hungary in Ekaterinburg, Sergey Syuch, dedicated their speeches to the opportunities of global higher education.

The partners noted the well-coordinated work of the university services under the supervision of Victoria Belyaeva, head of the International Cooperation Division. The events of the week brought changes to the tight schedule of the rector of the university Victor Koksharov, who during these days held several meetings and signed agreements with universities from France, Afghanistan and other countries.

"The guests of the university visited dozens of our facilities, including a museum, model factory and nanocenter," summed up Koksharov. "We managed to hold an exhibition and presentations of partner universities, as well as to present our capabilities: network cooperation, master's and postgraduate programs in English."

The III International Week of Ural Federal University took place in Ekaterinburg on April 2-6.
