Undergraduate and graduate students from IMUST studying metallurgy, materials science, mechanical engineering, mining, automation, and applied statistics took part in an intensive educational and cultural program focused on modern technologies, Russian science, and intercultural communication. The delegation was headed by Song Yanbei. For NUST MISIS, cooperation with IMUST is part of its strategic effort to expand partnerships with Chinese universities and strengthen collaboration in engineering education and applied science.
“NUST MISIS has a long and productive history of cooperation with Chinese educational institutions. Back in the 1950s, our scientists actively contributed to the establishment of University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB). For decades, our university has trained engineers and researchers, many of whom have made significant contributions to the development of China. Today, we cooperate with the country’s leading scientific and educational centers, creating new opportunities for students from both nations. The international summer school became the first educational project implemented under the cooperation agreement signed in 2025 between NUST MISIS and Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology,” said Alevtina Chernikova, Rector of NUST MISIS.
The school program combined academic and cultural tracks. Throughout the week, participants explored the infrastructure of NUST MISIS, visited research laboratories, and attended a series of lectures and practical classes on advanced technological topics. The academic program included lectures such as “Mathematics in Data Science” and “Applied Data Science in Digital Projects,” an interactive session titled “Natural & Artificial Intelligence,” as well as laboratory workshops, Russian language classes, and meetings with international students of the university. A separate part of the program was dedicated to project presentations, held in the format of presentation sessions with discussions and expert feedback.
Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology is one of the leading technical universities in the region, with strong expertise in metallurgy, materials science, mechanical engineering, and mining, while also actively developing international scientific and educational cooperation.
In addition to the academic program, participants enjoyed an extensive cultural agenda. Students explored the campus and history of NUST MISIS, visited Red Square, VDNKh, and the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve, took part in guided tours around central Moscow and the Moscow Metro, and joined field sessions dedicated to urban culture and intercultural communication.
International summer and winter schools at NUST MISIS are organized jointly with partner universities abroad. To participate, universities are required to form a student group and submit an application via email: international@misis.ru. One of the mandatory requirements is an English proficiency level of at least B1, as the program is conducted in English.
