Description

Permanent uncertainty as normality: how EU and Russian universities cooperate under the pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic
The pandemic drastically changed the paths, opportunities, and the spectrum of internationalisation activities that had already been implemented, notwithstanding the political tensions. In my presentation, I will address the evolution of practices and approaches to internationalisation activities between the universities of the EU member states, in particular Finland and Russia. In addition, I will focus on the pandemic challenges faced by academics, university administrators, and students involved in internationalisation activities, and the managerial solutions suggested by the partner universities. The presentation is based on the results of the Finnish–Russian research project, ‘Towards good neighbourliness with higher education cooperation’ (EDUneighbours), which studied Finnish–Russian cross-border higher education cooperation and institutional environments inside and outside the universities that implemented double degree programmes between 2014 and 2020.
