The first memorandum on cooperation between Belgorod State University and an Indian University has been signed

A tentative agreement on cooperation with Indian colleagues in research and education was earlier reached by Vladislav Kuchmistyy, Vice-Rector for International Cooperation of Belgorod State University, during his visit to Jaipur in August 2019. The negotiations with the leadership of Banasthali University were supported by Sky Topper Consultants (India). At Banasthali University, Mr Kuchmistyy learnt about the history of the university and saw its infrastructure. When meeting with the administration and faculty of the institutes and departments, some areas of cooperation were identified, and a draft agreement was drawn up, which took shape of the memorandum on cooperation signed last week.

The cooperation with Banasthali University is expected to be quite promising: along with international research collaboration, some joint educational programs are about to be designed and launched in both universities in the nearest future.
