At the RUSSIA EXPO, applicants were informed about universities in the North-West and Caucasus regions

During the Open Days of universities in the Southern and Northwestern Federal Districts at the RUSSIA EXPO, applicants were briefed on the main directions of university activities and scientific research conducted within their premises. The event took place at the lecture hall of the Russian Society "Knowledge," the general partner of the Exposition educational program.

Open Days aim to showcase the diversity of Russian universities and dispel the myth that they are concentrated only in major cities, noted Vitaly Grishkin, Director of the Department for Coordination of Educational Organizations Activities at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia.

"We have national goals defined by the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and infrastructure megaprojects. Therefore, in the educational programs of universities, we have begun to focus on technical specialties. This is reflected in the increase in the number of applicants in these fields. If we continue to develop in this direction, we will not only achieve technological sovereignty but also take leading positions," emphasized Vitaly Grishkin.

According to him, significant attention is now paid to ensuring that students interact with employers from the first year, allowing them to gain necessary experience and work in their field of study.

During the presentation, guests were also informed about the opening of a stand in Pavilion No. 57 dedicated to the admission campaign to universities. It will be operational from June 12. As part of the stand's activities, experts and volunteers will provide information about university admissions online. On June 20, enrollees can submit their corresponding applications there.
