This August, Russian President Vladimir Putin paid a visit to Finland to meet his Finnish colleague Sauli Niinistö. It is expected that one of the fruitful areas of our partnership will most likely be introduction of innovations in the field of environmental protection and landfill reclamation.

This September, a new academic year has begun and, with the start of the new school year, traditional discussions on the role of education and universities in Russia have once again resumed.

A number of Finnish universities is keen on cooperating with higher education institutions of St. Petersburg. Why would they do so?

LUT University is now the key partner university in Finland for the International Competence Centre for Mining-Engineering Education under the auspices of UNESCO.

The research and educational center will be established at the premises of Saint-Petersburg Mining University.

Russian experts of the Association were granted exclusive rights to certify specialists of extracting and processing enterprises. What is the core of the agreement?

Thanks to this agreement, Russian public companies will manage to increase their capitalization through improving human resource capacity.

As early as 2019, Russian mining engineers may already apply for full membership at the British Engineering Council, one of the most prestigious professional associations in the world.

Forum participants came to Saint-Petersburg from as much as thirty countries to show their scientific developments and declare the need for cooperation between countries.

German large-scale enterprises are interested in investing in Russia, as well as they are ready to share with us high technologies. German politicians, in turn, consider the experience of partnering with our country to have been quite positive. This is the conclusion of “Forpost” upon the visit to Potsdam.
