The plenary session was opened by the Vice-Rector for Educational Activities of SPbPU Lyudmila Pankova: It was not for nothing that we called the event a discussion platform, we discuss all aspects of education – from teaching methods to interaction with employers. Collaboration with the second summit of Slavic universities “Slavic Horizon-2024” will allow us to expand the boundaries and transfer the best educational practices.

At the session “Expanding the Russian Presence in the Global World,” colleagues from Slavic universities spoke about their experience of educational cooperation with Russian universities.
We have been meeting for the second year at the Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University, which is our strategic partner in the development of educational, scientific and educational processes. The presence of such a platform gives us the opportunity to communicate with the management of other Russian universities, with the administration and our curators from the Polytechnic University, to develop common points of view, to form platforms and, in general, a common view on the development of Slavic universities, – believes Natalia Vologina, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at BRU.
Vice-Rector for International and Scientific-Innovative Activities of KRSU Viktor Denisenko noted the steps towards modernization in the educational process that were taken with the participation of the Polytechnic this year.
Director of the Center for Social and Cultural Adaptation and Intercultural Communication of the Russian Language Institute of RUDN University Maria Alimova spoke about joint work in the field of support and promotion of the Russian language with Slavic universities, events and programs being implemented.
Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of RAU Marina Khachatryan shared her experience in implementing educational programs with Russian universities, including the Polytechnic University.
The international experience of educational cooperation was presented by the consortium “Russian-African Network University” represented by the Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Department of SPbPU and Secretary of RAFU Alla Mazina.
At the summit, SPbPU and KRSU signed an agreement on nine network educational programs in the following areas: infocommunication technologies and communication systems, electronics and nanoelectronics, instrument making, electric power engineering, mechanics, architectural environment design, software engineering, construction, and technosphere safety.
The main thing in the “Slavic Universities” project is to support our partners in developing a development program based on the experience of the Polytechnic University, in focusing on its acceleration, so that they become leaders in their countries, models of quality education, noted Dmitry Arsenyev.
The business part of the day ended with a seminar for heads of development programs, where each university presented the current status of their implementation.
The Slavic Summit is a unique format that was created a year ago and has proven to be very effective. “Slavic Universities”, each in its own country, with its own specifics, are united by a common task set by the relevant ministries and leaders of the countries. In solving these tasks, they face similar problems. The summit provides an opportunity for an open discussion that helps find solutions to common problems, share unique specifics and national characteristics, understand what mechanisms can work, and how to apply experience and ideas in different countries. We plan to continue this format of interaction, as it allows synchronization and gives a powerful impetus for development for the next year, – summed up the head of the Slavic Universities project office, deputy head of the International Cooperation Department Nikita Golovin.
