Russia’s Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev took part in the meeting of the International Advisory Board of the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo, government web page reported.
According to Medvedev, “The school is rightly considered the biggest private business school in Russia, the CIS and even in Eastern Europe. Skolkovo offers progressive learning methods and a global diversity of views. For many people studying at Skolkovo was one of the steps to success. The school faculty includes not only prominent researchers and scientists but also representatives of major businesses. Therefore, the number of prospective students is constantly on the rise. Over a period of 13 years, more than 2.5K students have finished degree and entrepreneurial programs; almost 22K students have completed corporate study programs. Now they are truly amazing managers and representatives of the business community. Perhaps this is the main outcome of this project.”
As he noted, “Skolkovo is building an advanced education system. The school is developing partnerships with world leaders, the International Institute for Management Development in Switzerland and the HKUST Business School in Hong Kong. Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology professors also work and give lectures at the Moscow School of Management. Skolkovo and New Economic School launched the Centre for Research in Financial Technologies and Digital Economy.”
“The objectives include increasing the competitive advantage and creating an intellectual economy,” he concluded.
