Afterwards, the parties proceeded to negotiations. Sergey Kharitonchik spoke in detail about BNTU's activities and possible options for further cooperation.
– The main areas of our activity are education, science and innovation, and commercialization. This is not just a title; it reflects our approach to organizing the university's work. All three areas are interconnected, and each influences the others. We believe that there cannot be a scientist who cannot achieve the commercialization of their scientific developments, – emphasized the rector.
The parties discussed key areas of cooperation (academic mobility, development of joint educational programs, creation of joint production), exchanged concepts and specific proposals, which were reflected in the agreement signed at the conclusion of the meeting.
