Located in the heart of St. Petersburg, a student capital of the Russian Federation, Mining University is a well-known multidisciplinary environment of education, research, innovation, partnership, and personal professional growth.

Ten years ago, there were 13.5 thousand degree students of foreign origins in Saint Petersburg. This number has increased to 31 thousand by now. If other education forms - such as short-term programmes or summer schools - are included, the figure rises to 38 thousand people.
The global pace of digitalisation is enormous, but European post-graduates in mining do not lag behind the trend - as of now, the most demanded innovative solutions in the EU are the ones that simplify work processes through the use of information technologies. Most importantly, both the EU and the companies are ready to pay for revolutionary developments. One of the institutions, whose aim is to search for the new promising projects and facilitate the financing of those, is the European Institute of Technology and Innovation (EIT).

Political tensions and sanctions have led to the situation when maintaining close cooperation between the EU and Russia at the federal level is no longer possible. As of now, the only way to develop economic relations and strengthen cooperation in education and research is to keep regional cooperation alive.
