ASU Teachers Will Give Lectures within International Online Against COVID-19 Campaign

The Project Office of International Cooperation and Development of Astrakhan State University is launching a unique project which includes a series of online classes, round tables, discussion platforms and master classes.

Respective agreements have already been reached on ASU teachers’ delivering online lectures in Zoom and Skype for foreign students of partner universities. Besides, foreign colleagues have been invited to join the project and hold online events for students of Astrakhan State University.
