The North European Open Scientific and Educational Consortium was established in Petrozavodsk. It incorporates 15 major universities, including Vologda State University.
“We are ready to join the Consortium. The VSU strategy is aimed at the development of the Russian North and it fits perfectly into the projects of the North-European Open Scientific and Educational Consortium. We have already had joint projects with Petrozavodsk State University and the Kola Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The ideas of scientific and educational cooperation are also reflected in the PRIORITY-2030 program. In general, we plan to jointly implement at least seven projects in the field of wellness, ecology, digitalization of industries and the social sphere, development of agriculture etc. The major woodworking, machine-building, agro-industrial companies of the European North are interested in creating the Consortium. It is very important that the Governor of the Vologda Oblast also supported the creation of the Consortium. All the projects are focused on solving the problems of our region, and, first of all, they will make an impact on educational system of the Vologda Oblast,” said the Rector of Vologda State University.
