Prof. Nikolay KROPACHEV, Chairman of the Association of Leading Universities Rector of St. Petersburg University Viktor SADOVNICHY, Rector of Lomonosov Moscow State University The best way to assess university performance is through the quality of education, the skill level of graduates. What matters most is where they get employed, what discoveries they make. Vladimir LITVINENKO, Rector of Saint-Petersburg Mining University Russia needs highly-skilled researchers capable of developing new scientific solutions and facilitating their transfer to production. Yaroslav KUZMINOV, Rector of National Research University Higher School of Economics We are witnessing the second revolution in education. The first revolution came with the printed book. Before that knowledge was passed on by word of mouth or by copying books by hand. These days the revolution takes place at the expense of online courses. Education is becoming a lifelong learning experience. We have to take active steps to foster horizontal communication, join our efforts with leading universities worldwide, both in the West and in the East, design collaborative research programmes, improve academic and student mobility...

Yeltsin Anatoly ALEKSANDROV, Rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University Modern technology makes cross- university collaboration more effective — it is hardly possible to establish unique laboratories in all contempo- rary fields of knowledge in just one university.
