INRTU representatives took part in the events of the Russian House in Ulaanbaatar, organized on October 23-24 jointly with the Peace&Friendship Organization of Mongolia in the city of Murun (Khuvsgul province). Field events were held within the framework of the 66th Days of Mongolian-Russian Friendship and Cooperation, timed to coincide with the 105th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

INRTU was represented by Marina Ponomareva, the International Admission Office specialist, and Irina Zolotareva, Senior Teacher of Russian Language Didactics Department of the Baikal BRICS Institute.

The program included an official meeting with the leadership of the province, presentations of Russian universities, an intellectual game and a subject testing for schoolchildren, as well as a methodological master class for Mongolian teachers.

The Russian delegation, led by Rossotrudnichestvo Representative Office Head in Mongolia Alina Anisimova, met with the Governor of the Khuvsgul province Laagan Tumurbaatar. The parties discussed the strengthening of international ties, cooperation in the field of education and the training of specialists in areas that are in demand in the region.

More than 100 Mongolian schoolchildren participated in the educational program. Marina Ponomareva spoke about the areas of INRTU training, admission conditions, student life and living in dormitories. Employees of the Russian House presented opportunities for studying at Russian universities under the quota of the Government of the Russian Federation and the conditions for participation in the Open Doors International Olympiad.

In the intellectual game "Do you know Russia and the Russian language? – 2026", organized by the Russian House, four teams of schoolchildren and teachers of the Russian language from Khuvsgul, Arkhangai and Uvurkhangai provinces competed. The contestants answered questions about the Russian language, the culture of Russia and the history of Russian-Mongolian relations. The jury included Irina Zolotareva.

In addition, 20 schoolchildren completed tasks in mathematics, chemistry and Russian as a foreign language, prepared by INRTU. The work was checked by representatives of the university together with the staff of the Russian House.

The winner was "Flying Falcons" from the Uvirkhangai province. The Russian House awarded the winners of the team competition and then presented certificates to the winners of the individual competition, the results of which were determined taking into account the points for the intellectual game and subject testing.

INRTU awarded certificates to six participants who showed the highest results in mathematics and the Russian language. Certificates were also granted to schoolchildren who showed special interest and activity during the program.

Irina Zolotareva held a master class "The use of information and communication technologies and game methods in Russian as a foreign language lessons” for almost 30 teachers of the Russian language from the Khuvsgul province. The teachers got acquainted with modern approaches to teaching Russian as a foreign language, completed test tasks and exchanged experience. At the end of the class, they were awarded with INRTU certificates.

The trip made it possible to acquaint schoolchildren with the possibilities of studying at INRTU and continue the exchange of experience with Mongolian teachers of the Russian language. The geographical proximity of the Irkutsk region and the Khuvsgul province contributes to the further development of educational cooperation.
