Plekhanov Russian University of Economics proudly announces its participation in the Global Education
and Training Exhibition (GETEX) from April 24 to 26th, 2024. As one of the longest-standing and
esteemed education expos in the Middle East, GETEX has served as a premier platform for student
recruitment for over 35 years.
This year’s participation is significant for Plekhanov Russian University of Economics as it marks our
inaugural venture into student recruitment in the UAE. As the first Russian university to establish a
presence in the region, we are committed to fostering cross-cultural exchange and contributing to the
advancement of the professional workforce in the UAE.
“Our presence at GETEX underscores our commitment to actively participating in the UAE’s multicultural
higher education landscape,” said Ivan Lobanov, Rector of Plekhanov Russian University of Economics.
We are dedicated to promoting professionalism and creativity among our students and aim to make a
continuous and sustainable contribution to the growth and development of the professional workforce
in the region.”
In line with our commitment to innovation and sustainability, we are adopting modern approaches to
our exhibition. We will use digital panels instead of traditional printed roll-ups to convey our message.
Additionally, we are embracing sustainability by minimizing printed materials and providing electronic
versions of our booklets to potential students.
“Our university representatives will be highly engaged, open-minded, and creative in presenting the
Plekhanov Russian University of Economics as a role model institution,” added Dr. Svetlana Mohamad
Malkarova, Director of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics. “We are excited to showcase our
unique DNA and values to the audience at GETEX.”
