Eurasian Network University now includes four more universities from Kazakhstan and Russia

At the third meeting of the Coordinating Council of the Eurasian Network University (ESU), a decision was made to include four more universities in the ESU, i.e. the Caspian University and Almaty Management University (Kazakhstan), as well as the Bauman Moscow State Technical University and the Stankin Moscow State Technological University (Russia). Now the scientific and educational consortium includes 19 universities. The meeting was held on October 7 on the sidelines of the Eurasian Business Forum "Integration", involving Sergei Glazyev, Minister in charge of Integration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

The meeting participants approved the Regulation on the ESU Coordinating Council, which was created to determine the strategy and tactics for the development of the ESU. The Coordinating Council is a permanent collegial body consisting of one representative from each university that signed the MoU on Establishing the ESU. The provisions of the ESU structural subdivisions and the work plan for 2022-2023 were also approved.

Sergei Glazyev, EEC Minister in charge of Integration and Macroeconomics, noted the high dynamics of work on the launch of the Eurasian Network University and stressed its role in supporting scientific and technical cooperation in the EAEU.

"Training highly qualified personnel is a necessary condition for the innovative development of the EAEU," Sergei Glazyev emphasized. "One of the tasks facing the Eurasian Network University is the convergence of educational programs in those specialties that are most in demand in the single economic space."

For reference

The Memorandum of Understanding on the Establishment of the Eurasian Network University was signed on the sidelines of the Eurasian Economic Forum in Bishkek on May 25 by the rectors of the leading universities of the EAEU countries. The goal of the ESU is the gradual formation of a barrier-free environment in the field of education. It is expected that the ESU will train skilled personnel using distance learning technologies, organize research and development activities, enhance the personal growth of young people in the spirit of the Eurasian integration values and other focus areas.

The Eurasian Network University was formed as a scientific and educational consortium without forming a legal entity. Structural subdivisions of the ESU are assigned to specific universities participating in the memorandum.

Rector of the Russian State University of Management, Professor Vladimir Stroev, was elected Chairman of the ESU Coordinating Council.
