The forum discussed issues of internationalization of higher education, mechanisms for ensuring the incoming and outgoing academic mobility of students and teachers, the problems of adapting students to the new academic environment. During the week, participants attended seminars, open lectures, master classes, and round tables.

She introduced the participants of the forum to the experience of implementing academic exchanges at TSU and the program “Favorable Environment for Foreign Students” developed in the framework of the priority project “Export of Russian Education”.

“Internationalization of higher education is an indispensable condition for the development of modern universities,” said Irina Mizis. “TSU named after G.R.
