An international online workshop was arranged by TPU jointly with the Russian Center of Science and Culture in Colombo (Sri Lanka) and North-Caucasus Federal University. In total, seven universities of Russia and Sri Lanka joined the workshop.
“The pandemic has applied significant changes in the development of international and educational cooperation. At the moment, we have to adapt and search for new opportunities to strengthen relations with our international partners.
A series of round tables with representatives of leading technical universities in countries possessing serious research and education potential became one of such initiatives. We use all opportunities of online technology to exchange our experience, achievements and ideas, which will not only assist our university to strengthen existing relations or search for new partners but also will assist in considering the experience and opportunities of overseas colleagues in research areas meeting the TPU interests,” says Maxim Volkov, Head of the TPU Division of International Cooperation.
Nalin Dzhayakodi, Professor of the TPU Research Center for Automation and Information Technology and Bulat Soktoev, Associate Professor of the TPU Division for Geology, represented TPU at the held workshop.
At the held round table Energy and Sustainable Development: New Partnerships and Opportunities, the participants introduced the latest research achievements of their universities and discussed the current problems of international cooperation in the energy, environment, environmental engineering and future engineering industries to each other.
According to the organizers, some similar online workshops are being planned in the future. Thus, a dialogue with representatives of Egyptian and Jordan universities is being awaited. As Maxim Volkov notes the geography of the upcoming round tables will include not only Arabic countries but also TPU partner universities from India, Southeast Asia and Africa.
