Educational institutions

The Research Educational Centre of Economics and Information Technologies of VolRC RAS carries out activities to develop the cooperation with educational institutions not only within the city and the region, but on a national and near abroad scale.

Within the frame of an elective course REC together with Lyceum № 32 and the Children and Youth Centre “Edinstvo” teaches and involves into research activity pupils from Vologda schools. During the period 2002-2015 REC concluded cooperation agreements with educational institutions of Vologda, the Vologda Oblast, and other regions of the country (Secondary School no. 29 in Vologda, Lyceum “AMTEK” in Cherepovets, Chuchkovo School in the Vologda Oblast, Gymnasium no. 1306 in Moscow, Secondary School no. 11 in Vologda, etc.).

The creation of the Economic Internet-school at REC and the conduction of the Open Competition in Economics have promoted the extension of cooperation. Pupils from 21 regions of Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and the Ukraine have been engaged in the studying at REC Internet-school and participation in competitions.

REC provides continuous training of personnel in the sphere of economics and within this framework it collaborates with the leading institutions of higher education in Vologda and the Vologda Oblast, in particular with the Vologda State University, Vologda Business Institute.
