On October 14-20, the RACUS Group of Russian State Universities visited China and carried out preparations for the promotion of Russian higher education and admission of Chinese citizens to study at the universities of the RACUS Group in 2025.

The head of the Department of Asia, Shamil Nutsalov, took part in the conference, where he presented the universities of the RACUS group and also held discussions with the representatives of local institutions and agencies working in the sphere of international education on the territory of China. 

The RACUS organization has planned extensive activities for 2025, which were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The interest of Chinese youth to study in Russia is high, as China is a strategic partner of Russia. The main goal of the RACUS organization in China for 2025 is to open representative offices in at least 5 cities of the Republic, which will be focused on the promotion of universities and recruitment of interested young people to study at the universities of the RACUS group
