The event took place in Moscow State University of  Geodesy and Cartography as a part of the international Erasmus+ project “Developing Approaches to Internationalisation Strategy Harmonising in the Area of Higher Education, Science, and Innovation in the EU, Russia, Belarus, and Armenia (HARMONY)” coordinated by Voronezh State University. The event was organised with the support of the national office Erasmus+ in the Russian Federation and Moscow State University of  Geodesy and Cartography.

The conference concluded the project which finishes this year. Therefore, its goal was to present the results regarding the creation and implementation of strategies of universities’ internationalisation, introduction of international approaches into curricular, and the implementation of joint academic programmes, as well as to present the tools for the harmonized approach to the internationalisation of universities (based on the experience of the EU countries, Russia, Belarus, and Armenia).

Among the participants of the conference were over 130 specialists in international relations, experts in the area of higher education internationalisation, lecturers and researchers from 55 universities from all Russian federal districts: from Yakutia and Tumen to Saint Petersburg and Kaliningrad. European participants represented the leading universities of Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal, and Greece.

Experts highly praised the significance of the project results, both for the system of higher education and for the reformation of the international activity management in some universities. Olga Oleinikova said that HARMONY project was recommended to be studied as a good practice of implementation of European projects.
