Joint projects are the basis of cooperation between universities. An example of such a project is the joint work between Professor of the Faculty of International Economics, long-term head of the PRORUS course Fred Leite Campos and Director of the International Russian-Brazilian Center Lyudmila Baturina. As a result of this long-term cooperation between the Brazilian and Russian professors, several articles were published in scientific journals, speeches were made at conferences, and the international events were organized. Every semester Professor Baturina gives lectures about Russia to students of the PRORUS course online. The lecture on August 31, was about innovative approaches in the field of education and the role of humanities in innovation.
