Degates from Krasnoyarsk visit Changchun

Sergey Verkhovets, SibFU's Vice-Rector (Research and International Collaboration), visited Changchun in North-Eastern China. Dr Verkhovets was among other Krasnoyarsk delegates who visited the Chinese city to exchange experience and develop collaboration, particularly, in research and education.

The delegates attended the Chinese-Russian forum on agricultural collaboration, discussed municipal management issues with the representatives of the Departments of Transport and Public Services. The delegates visited North-Eastern Pedagogical University and Tech companies in a free economic zone.

«We joined our strategic partner, Krasnoyarsk City Council, in visiting Changchun. This helped us to see how authorities and academic community can work together. In addition, we were able to see the objectives of collaboration and what could be done in a partnership, — Sergey Verkhovets says. — The university's experience and potential in technology transfer, communication technologies, cultural exchange, innovation exchange, and training employees for new industries is significant. The Head of the City's Council's suggestion was to use the experience of Chinese universities and to apply to Krasnoyarsk City Council for joint projects in e-commerce, logistics, promoting tech companies, building new waste processing equipment for the city, etc».
