The First Rectors Forum discusses closer academic ties between Thailand and Russia.

For the Land of Smiles’ students it should open more paths to get higher education in Russia, as rectors of more than 30 top academies will join the meeting. Picture: First Rectors Forum

First in 120 years major forum brings together heads of leading higher education institutions from across Russia and the Kingdom of Thailand. 

Online - since we live in the time of the pandemic - gathering will last five days, and should lead to projects with institutions as exciting as Thailand’s leading technology and science King Mongkut’s University and the county’s northern Chiang Mai University. 

For the Land of Smiles’ students it should open more paths to get higher education in Russia, as rectors of more than 30 top academies will join the meeting. 

‘I would love to study in Tomsk, I want to try living in Siberia. I know about one of the best universities there called Tomsk State University’, student Pakakrong Chinakorn who currently studies Russian said ahead of the forum. 

Novosibirsk State University, Siberian Federal State University, Omsk State University, Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service are just a few names of the key Siberian and the Far Eastern universities participating in the forum.
