An official meeting was held at Vitebsk State Medical University with a delegation from Cherepovets State University (CSU), led by CSU Rector Olga Lyaginova.

Alexey Chukanov, Rector of VSMU, warmly welcomed the delegation from the Russian Federation. During the negotiations, which also involved representatives from the university’s international department, both parties discussed promising areas for bilateral cooperation.

The key outcome of the meeting was the signing of a cooperation agreement between the two universities. This document is intended to serve as the foundation for a long-term partnership in education and scientific research. Following the agreement, the parties approved a roadmap—a plan outlining specific joint activities scheduled for implementation in the near future.

Special attention during the discussions was given to collaboration in the fields of psychology and pedagogy. An agreement was reached to actively cooperate with the Department of Psychology and Pedagogy and the Faculty of Advanced Training and Staff Retraining courses at VSMU. This collaboration will facilitate the exchange of experience and best practices in training specialists.

The visit of the CSU delegation and the signing of the documents marked a new stage in the development of relations between the two universities, opening prospects for academic exchanges and joint research projects.
