The ministry noted that the agreement will allow Colombian undergraduate and graduate students, professors, researchers, and professionals to access higher education programs at Russian universities, especially in strategic areas such as agribusiness, artificial intelligence, advanced technologies, and applied sciences.

The ministerial entities of both countries, the statement added, discussed expanding the number of scholarships offered by Russia to Colombians, and as a result, the Russian government has already confirmed an additional 20 scholarships.

It is expected that these opportunities will increase progressively following the signing of the memorandum. The agreement will also enable the creation of dual-degree programs, the development of joint projects, the exchange of scientific and educational materials, and the organization of seminars and academic conferences, the source also highlighted.

This agreement, it emphasized, will contribute to strengthening the quality of Colombian universities, generating knowledge to address the major global challenges of the 21st century, and connecting the country with high-impact scientific and technological advancements.

The South American state, for its part, will promote access for Russian citizens to higher education programs at Colombian universities and will award additional points to those who apply for the Colombia Scholarship, the ministry stated.

The alliance also seeks to encourage the learning of Spanish and Russian, thereby fostering linguistic exchange for the benefit of students and professionals from both countries.
