Productive discussions surrounded the establishment of robust cooperation mechanisms and the expansion of collaborative efforts among the three countries in science, technology, and human capital development,” commented Evgeniya Karlovskaya.

At the Forum of Rectors of BRICS+ Universities, which included participation from Konstantin Mogilevsky, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, participants addressed issues related to health and quality of life in BRICS+ countries, language policy, innovations, and poverty alleviation. Karlovskaya highlighted BelSU’s successful projects with partner universities from Belarus, China, and Uzbekistan, emphasizing plans to broaden cooperation with universities across BRICS+ nations.
