On 20 and 21 April UN Headquarters in New York hosted V Anniversary UN MoU-Universities Conference. The Herzen University delegation was headed by Yulia Komarova, Acting Vice-Rector for International Cooperation. Angelique Antonova, SCIT Deputy Director, was the keynote speaker reporting on the universities’ activities under MoU. This privilege was justified: Herzen University is either ahead or on par with the world’s leading T&I schools, based on the results of ten years of MoU work. Irina Alexeeva, SCIT Director, put forward a suggestion for the universities with the Russian language to join efforts in training specialists for the United Nations. Within the framework of the conference the Herzen University delegation had a meeting with the Chief of the Executive Office of the UN Secretary General and with six Ambassadors to the United Nations representing the six official languages. On the margins, the Herzen delegation had meetings with Catherine Pollard, Under-Secretary General for General Assembly and Conference Management (DGACM), Movses Abelian, Assistant Secretary General for DGACM, Igor Shpiniov, Chief of USG Office, Olga Kazanli, Head of the Russian Verbatim Reports Service in UNHQ, Dmitry Sapsai, Head of the Russian Translation Service in UNHQ, Sergey Kochetkov, Head of the Russian Interpretation Service in UNHQ and others.
