Saint Petersburg State University
Freie Universität Berlin suspends relations with Russian research institutions until further notice.
Background
St. Petersburg State University was founded in 1724 by Peter I. The Great and is one of the oldest institutions of education in Russia. Freie Universität Berlin has an ongoing cooperation with many departments of SPbU since 1968; the universities have been strategic partners since 2012.
In addition to a general research and study exchange program there are mobility opportunities for the departments of Law and Economics. Innovative formats such as Seed Money Funding and the Joint Post-Doc Program show the common interest to develop the partnership. The University Alliance for Sustainability shows perspectives beyond bilateral initiatives.
