In search of new minds

According to the TPU Vice-Rector for External Affairs Liliya Kiryanova, the format of the International Week - is one of the mechanisms for solving the task set by the "Education" national project - to double the number of foreign students. This task is solved jointly by Tomsk universities.

"The very idea of ​​building an inter-university campus (on the left bank of the Tom river) is aimed at attracting foreign students en masse. Tomsk scientists also work at the world level today, and the projects that they are implementing today are possible only in international collaborations. Therefore, it became necessary to show international offices of partner universities, what Tomsk is", – she said.

Kiryanova added that International Week – is a method of presenting educational programs and scientific projects of all Tomsk universities. The seminar, which began work at TPU, – is only the first cooperation experience of all six Tomsk universities to jointly promote their curricula and scientific developments on the international market, the prototype of cooperation within the framework of the "Big University".

"The event will be annual for Tomsk, and not just for TPU or any other university. Only today, there has been reached an agreement with a number of foreign universities on holding joint summer and winter schools, and by the end of the day we expect to sign an agreement with several partner universities on double degree-programs both at the bachelor's and master's levels", – she said.

An excursion for foreigners to the leading laboratories and design teams of Tomsk universities is scheduled for Wednesday, December 11. According to its results, the organizers are counting on the emergence of new joint projects with foreign universities.

View from the outside

Andreas Winkler, coordinator of the European CLUSTER association (it includes 12 European universities and four associate partner universities, including TPU), arrived in Tomsk for the International Week to expand the association's contacts with Tomsk universities. According to him, TPU – is one of the active participants in the network, but the interest of Europeans in Tomsk is not exhausted by one university.

"I plan to discuss with Tomsk citizens the issues of further cooperation of Tomsk universities with European colleagues through our network. We are aware of TPU scientific developments and training programs. However, it is interesting to see Tomsk as a technological hub, in which many areas, including IT, are actively developing. I would like to find projects and areas in which we could launch joint projects", – Winkler said.

As the first day of the International Week has already shown, the prospects of cooperation with the Tomsk scientific community are of interest not only to European, but also to Asian colleagues. Xu Jun, the head of the international relations department at Chongqing University (the leading national university in China), came to Tomsk to sign an agreement on joint activities with TPU.

"We have heard about TPU, it has very strong positions in international rankings, and Chongqing University has strong positions on the same subject areas. Therefore, we came to Tomsk to establish partnerships. We start by signing a general agreement on cooperation, which will later lead to joint projects", – Xu Jun said.

According to him, the first joint project of the Chongqing University with TPU will be a summer school, which will be held in 2020. In the future, Chinese colleagues plan to expand cooperation with Tomsk scientists.
