Lomonosov MSUBS recently welcomed distinguished foreign delegations from Brazil and China, marking a significant step in strengthening international academic and business collaborations. The visit, aimed at fostering educational partnerships, highlighted the growing global interest in Russia’s leading business programs.

The Brazilian delegation explored potential cooperation in management education, student exchanges, and joint research initiatives. UFRJ, Brazil’s biggest public university, has a cutting-edge tech park which was designed to foster linkages between academia and industry. During the meeting, participants explored new partnership avenues that would allow students to pursue academic studies at a partner university while also gaining practical experience through corporate internships. Given Brazil’s expanding economy and Russia’s expertise in business education, both sides emphasized the mutual benefits of such partnerships in nurturing future business leaders.

The Chinese delegation engaged in discussions on enhancing Sino-Russian business education ties. As China remains a key strategic partner for Russia, the talks focused on creating joint training programs, faculty and student exchanges, COIL projects and cross-cultural communication. MSUBS highlighted the school’s strong connections with Chinese institutions, including existing partnerships with top universities. The parties also agreed to expand executive training programs, including Doing Business with China and Doing Business with Russia, tailored for managers.

The successful meetings with Brazilian and Chinese delegates are expected to lead to formal agreements in the coming months. Potential initiatives include joint conferences, research projects, and student exchange programs.
