Russia

In 2009, MIT Sloan and Moscow School of Management Skolkovo announced plans to launch a series of joint programs aimed at strengthening Skolkovo's capacity in business and management education at the international level and exposing MIT Sloan faculty and students to a new range of global developments and challenges.

The collaboration, which offers Russia's first full-time MBA program at Skolkovo's recently opened, state-of-the-art campus outside of Moscow, includes classes and other training for 45 to 90 Skolkovo MBA students at MIT Sloan and lectures by MIT Sloan faculty at Skolkovo. The collaboration will also develop a “Doing Business in Russia” program that emphasizes project-based education. MIT Sloan will share its experience in areas of academic administration (marketing, student services, admissions, career development) and in areas related to structuring and running research programs. Each year a Skolkovo faculty member will come to MIT Sloan as an IFF for up to a full semester. The collaboration will continue for up to three years.
