• Experience Is a Must: American Experts on Business-University Cooperation

  A university's profile depends not on rankings, but on how its graduates succeed, believe Casey Sax, vice chancellor of West Virginia's Department of Vocational and Technical Education, and Inta Morris, head of the International Office of the Department of Higher Education of Colorado (USA). The experts came to ITMO University to find more about its entrepreneurial infrastructure.

In an interview to ITMO.NEWS, they've shared about why it is important to focus on demands of particular enterprises, and how the graduates' quality affects the economics of the whole region.

• International Experts on Business Incubators and Accelerators in Russia

  What are startup accelerators and business incubators about? Growing a new generation of entrepreneurs? Speeding up startup development? It hasn't been long since they've appeared in Russia, but now a Russian university can't call itself progressive if it has no entrepreneurial environment. Yet, in pursuit of modern tendencies, one must not forget the very point of creating business incubators. Tom Strodtback, Director of European and Asian Partnerships at Global Accelerator Network, and Lynn Robertson, Liverpool Incubator Manager at Santander UK Corporate & Commercial, shared about how incubators help novice entrepreneurs, who invest in startups and their impressions of the entrepreneurial environment in Russia.

• Surviving Yemen, Surviving ITMO

  When we met Dheya Al-Saeedi, we were struck by his positivity, ambition and hope for the future, especially as he began to reveal his history. Still young, he has experienced what many hope not to experience. For those of you who don’t know where Yemen is, it’s on the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, wedged between Saudi Arabia and Oman. It also has its fair share of issues. The south wants to separate from the north and the country is in a constant state of war. It’s also the poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula.
