THE Research Excellence Summit Eurasia 2018
Forming part of the Research Excellence Summit series, the Times Higher Education Research Excellence Summit: Eurasia will engage policymakers, award-winning researchers, investors and education leaders in the key issues relating to higher education in Russia and the surrounding states.
It will bring a fresh focus to a rapidly developing and highly ambitious region, highlight the existing global connections that produce research excellence, and explore where future pathways may lie.
After the great success of the Research Excellence Summit: Asia Pacific in Taiwan in June 2017 and the New Europe summit in the Czech Republic in April 2018, this prestigious gathering shifts its concentration this August to Kazan, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. The summit partner is Kazan Federal University, which was founded in 1804, making it the second-oldest Russian university.
