The SPbPU rector, Andrey Rudskoy, noted the dynamic role of the universities' consortium in infrastructure projects, saying: "The universities of the Russian-African Network University Consortium are now not only actively developing cooperation in education with African universities, but are also beginning to participate in major infrastructure projects with the participation of industrial partners.
