IPW-2018
The International Partners Week «Universities: How to be a step ahead» took place at HSE University St Petersburg on May 14-16, 2018.
The event was dedicated to the 20th Anniversary of our campus. It incorporated: thoughtful discussions on common issues and challenges in global HE; case studies of best practices in managing internationalization; insights into the current trends and policies of Russia’s HE development; the signing of several cooperation agreements; visits to different HSE venues, including student accommodation; and of course a great networking and cultural programme. In addition, on May 15, a student fair also took place showcasing our valuable partners to roughly 150 HSE students.
Blessed with wonderful St. Petersburg weather, we were delighted to welcome 65 colleagues and friends representing 43 institutions that reflects the inspiring international ecosystem that we seek to develop in our campus.
We appreciate the great contribution to IPW that our colleagues from the Quantitative Techniques for Economics and Management (QTEM) Consortium provided by offering an additional info-session and training for HSE faculty and students.
Several important agreements were signed during the IPW. Agreements on two dual degrees in International Studies and Business & Management were signed between HSE University – Saint Petersburg and University of Rome Tor Vergata, escalating the cooperation between the two institutions to new horizons. The agreements on student and faculty exchange in History, Business, Management & Economics deepen the ties of our campus with University of Turin. An exchange agreement between LUISS Business School and HSE Saint-Petersburg School of Economics and Management contributes to further strengthening of the school-level partnership profile.
