Delegation of Derzhavin University took part in the largest education exhibition in China “China Education Expo”, held in Beijing in early November this year. The exhibition, organized by the Chinese Association of Education for International Exchange (CEAIE), is the largest international event in the system of higher education in Southeast Asia. This year 380 educational organizations of the world took part in it; 28 of them were Russian. The exhibition was visited by more than 30,000 people.
Another significant event in which Derzhavin University took part was the First Russian-Chinese Forum of Educational Institutions "Culture of Education". It was organized by the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing (representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo) and was held on the eve of the Beijing exhibition. On the sidelines of the forum, a meeting of Derzhavin University delegation with representatives of Chinese recruiting agencies took place. Four new partners officially confirmed their intentions to cooperate with Derzhavin University - Xiehe University, Nanchang Professional University, Dianchi College, Shandong Vocational University of Foreign Affairs. Negotiations on the content of plans and signing of memorandums of cooperation will take place in the near future, - claims the University Department of International Relations.
Under the auspices of Rossotrudnichestvo, a separate seminar with recruitment agencies of the People's Republic of China was also organized, thanks to which it was possible to accumulate contacts of reliable Chinese partners engaged in recruiting applicants to study in Russia. For the purpose of achieving better results in this direction, Elena Zueva, Vice-rector for International Affairs of Derzhavin University took part in a working session to discuss digital presence in Chinese social networks.
Having obtained the support of the director of the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing Tatiana Urzhumtseva and the Counselor for Education of the Russian Embassy in China Igor Pozdnyakov, it was possible to reach a preliminary agreement on the inclusion of Derzhavin in the working group on the selection of quotas for studying in universities of the Russian Federation of Chinese citizens.
