Guangzhou Institute of Science and Technology delegation interning at KFU

The team is headed by the Dean of the School of International Education Liang Xuehong.

As part of bilateral collaboration under the auspices of a memorandum of cooperation signed by the two institutions during Rector Lenar Safin’s visit to China in October 2023, the delegation comprising 20 educators is staying in Kazan from 22 January to 1 February. The primary topic of the internship is project management and engineering.

“A group of teachers from the Guangzhou Institute of Science and Technology is interning at KFU at this moment. GIST is developing rapidly, and this particular group comprises representatives of the School of Intelligent Manufacturing and Electrical Engineering. The colleagues are spending two weeks with us, with the bulk of the internship taking place at the Institute of AI, Robotics and System Engineering of Kazan Federal University,” informs Director of the International Office Olga Vershinina.

Liang Xuehong notes, “I first visited Kazan Federal University 20 years ago. Today is my second trip to this university, whereas other employees have not yet been here.”

Among the events of the internship are lectures, seminars and master classes with consecutive interpretation into English and Chinese. The best KFU educators and administrators from the Division of Innovation Development are going to teach the overseas colleagues and present their technological projects.

“The participants will study IoT, prompt engineering, basics of robotics, and AI. In conclusion, the young educators will pitch their projects,” says Deputy Director for Research of the Institute of AI, Robotics and System Engineering Bulat Zapparov.
