INRTU was represented by Lyubov Tambaleeva and Arina Danilova, who are studying international economics and business at the university.
Students learned about the school from INRTU social networks. Earlier, Lubov and Arina attended an international festival in Ningbo (Zhejiang Province, China).
"We are actively involved in the projects offered by the department of academic mobility and resource centers of INRTU. It is great that our university has created all opportunities for academic mobility for students", says Lyubov Tambaleeva.
At the summer school in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the students chose the track "Business Asia: Specifics of Doing Business". Professors from Sakhalin State University and speakers from Japan, South Korea and China prepared fascinating lectures for the participants. They shared their experience in international business.

Within the framework of the educational project the students of INRTU attended practical classes, master classes, excursions and cultural events, got acquainted with Asian cuisine. At the end of the intensives, the participants had to demonstrate the skills learned at the school.
"At the school, we met Chinese students from Pacific State University. What I remember most about the school was the trip to the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, wh ere we had a traditional Japanese lunch. Thanks to the educational intensive, I strengthened my desire to connect my life with doing business in Asia," Lyubov added.
Arina Danilova also shared her impressions about the trip:
"Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is a unique Russian city that became a real discovery for me. Interesting lectures and master classes of the summer school inspired me to further develop in my field. It was an unforgettable experience".
