British parliament recognizes TSU as a model of scientific diplomacy
TSU was the only Russian university invited to the British Parliament to participate in an exhibition and seminar on international collaboration and scientific diplomacy. At the exhibition at the Westminster Palace, TSU presented its participation experience in the largest European project INTERACT, aimed at exploring the Arctic and changing the environment, and the international network SecNet, created under the auspices of TSU to study Siberia and the northern territories.
The participants of the seminar, which takes place in the British Parliament at the beginning of each year, are traditionally well-known politicians who influence the decisions on science funding. In addition, representatives of the Foreign Office, European embassies, and researchers working in the most relevant areas of science are invited. This time, the choice fell on organizations that specialize in studying climate change and ecosystem change in the Arctic, Antarctic, and northern regions - the Centre for Polar Observation & Modelling, The British Antarctic Survey (BAS), and other large organizations.
