DEAR FRIENDS,<br />

Your Scholarship in Europe 2008-2009<br />

The Guidebook you are now holding in your hands marks the beginning of a new stage in<br />

the development of the European Area of Higher Education, which will help us strengthen<br />

relations between Russian and European Union students and scholars.<br />

Fruitful cooperation between Russia and Europe in higher education and science has always<br />

existed. We have always engaged in student exchanges and internships for scholars,<br />

as well as hosted students and scholars from a great number of European countries.<br />

Now that Russia has become a full participant of the Bologna process, academic mobility is<br />

acquiring a new impetus for development. This cooperation will no doubt be useful, mutually<br />

benefi cial, and oriented towards the welfare of our common European home.<br />

I am sure that the further development of contacts between students and scholars will<br />

actively support the creation of the Common European Space of Research and Education,<br />

including Cultural Aspects.<br />

I would like to wish all students and scholars success, and I am sure that you will contribute<br />

commendably to the further development of the Russian higher education system, as well<br />

as to the formation of the Common European Space of Higher Education.<br />

Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation А.А. Fursenko<br />
