We start 2022 with great news! Now students of Graduate School of Economics and Management UrFU can easily get information about international opportunities in GSEM international coworking! The space is located on the 2nd floor in a building on 25 Gogolya str. in a spacious and cozy hall. Materials about international partners and about international projects and resources of GSEM are available - come, learn, participate!

The official opening of the international coworking space took place on December 28, 2021 as the final stage of the international student festival GSEM InCulture FEST-2021. Posters prepared by students about their national cultures are one of the decorations and features of international coworking.

Coworking was opened by the director of GSEM Dmitry Tolmachev. He stressed that internationalization is one of the strategic priorities of the School, and for students, international experience is one of the key aspects of successful employment and career in the modern world.

The opening was attended by representatives of the international teams of  InCulture FEST: Guinea, Egypt, Indonesia, the Comoros, Uzbekistan and other countries.

Ekaterina Demchenko, Director of GSEM International Affairs Office, notes: “It's great that we held the final stage of the festival and the opening of an international coworking space in offline format. It can be seen how everyone lacks real communication. The guys who represent different GSEM programmes and had previously communicated within the framework of the Zoom festival were glad to meet and discuss the cultural traditions of each other's countries, including New Year's. This is fully consistent with the idea of ​​our festival - the cultural integration of GSEM students and the development of cross-cultural competencies. "

Currently, GSEM has 70 international academic partners - leading international business schools from 27 countries of the world, that provide opportunities for participation in exchange programmes "Semester Abroad", short-term programmes, international business championships and other events.
