A delegation from Tver State Technical University arrived at VSU as part of the project «Organizing Popular Science Visits for Students from the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation to Universities in the Two Countries as Part of the Youth and Student Tourism Program». The delegation included nine students from various faculties-activists, honors students, and scholarship winners – led by Alexander Ivannikov, Vice-Rector for Educational and Social Work at the university.

The guests from the Russian Federation were welcomed by the First Vice-Rector of Vitebsk State University named after P.M. Masherov Andrey Mekhovich. He emphasized that our university places great emphasis on international cooperation, as science, education, and culture are among the strongest bridges between countries. Andrey Pavlovich also briefly introduced the residents of Tver to the history of VSU, discussed its leading positions in international rankings, and spoke about its most famous alumnus, Pyotr Masherov, whose name VSU proudly bears today.

In turn, Alexander Fedorovich expressed hope that this visit to Vitebsk would act as a catalyst for further cultural, scientific, and educational exchanges between our universities, and invited them to Tver for a return visit.

Next, those present watched a promotional video about our university and got to know it better: Faculty of Mathematics and Information Technology and Faculty of Chemical, Biological and Geographical Sciences, were presented by the Dean of the Faculty of Physics and Information Technology Elena Zaleskaya and a graduate student of the Faculty of Chemical Biology and Humanities Polina Pinchuk.
